Apple CarPlay: Everything you need to know

An photo of Apple CarPly in use.

Apple CarPlay is Apple's answer to letting you safely use your phone while driving. Because there are apps that are genuinely useful when you're behind the wheel, but driving and phones rarely go well together. The solution? Beam those apps from your phone onto the screen in your center console. 

That way you have a nice big display available at a glance, complete with hands-free control and a driving-friendly interface. Plus, while you have all the basics like phone calls, music and navigation, all the apps that could tear your attention away from the road are nowhere to be seen.
