Apple has recently announced a complete redesign of CarPlay that will enable it to control core car features. Since its launch in 2014, Apple CarPlay has been an important function that allows users to play music, navigate and make calls by connecting their iPhones to their vehicle’s infotainment system.
The need to integrate core car functions with CarPlay apparently came about after a few Apple users complained that they had to exit CarPlay to access the climate control and other car-related functions.
The design change means larger screens on cars. CarPlay would also add support for widgets and other functionality to the instrument cluster so users don’t strain their necks.
