This is horrible. Give me some physical climate control buttons, and some nice Aston Martin dials to look at.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Says These Vehicle Brands Plan to Offer All-New CarPlay Ultra

Call me when they get to the CarPlay Super Ultra Platinum Pro version.
FINALLY I can get some use out of my Aston Martin
I swear Family Guy had a joke for every possible scenario. What a masterpiece.
I love Polestar but they need to up their range significantly before I would buy one.
But still there is a difference between giving the Instrument Cluster over to Apple and no CarPlay support at all.
It sounds like many car companies are starting to add back more buttons and knobs
Will we still have the option of using a CarPlay Legacy where it only offers infotainment screens?
Yeah would be nice to come to my Kia EV9.I hope to see this come to my '22 Tucson PHEV, but I doubt it. I'd think they'd just use it as an incentive to get a new car
I know a lot of people like directions on their instrument cluster. Doing that now is clunky as hell because you would use carplay on your main display and the cars navigation for the cluster.
Ha. GM will never implement this. I have a GMC Sierra that they won't even allow CarPlay to fill the entire Infotainment screen...Hyundai, Kia and Genesis are all the same company. So basically, the new CarPlay is currently confirmed on models from two companies. I'm sure GM will jump on board.
They’re probably arguing with BMW on how to make it a monthly subscription 😂
If you had read the article on which you're commenting (the one in the link in your quote) you would have seen that they very much plan to offer CarPlay in addition to Android Auto.
They will just not do Ultra or whatever the name now is and let CarPlay take over all screens. I assume that means you'll get a window like now.
I can understand this perspective. I rented a car where to adjust the AC you had to go into a menu on a touchscreen. If you asked me after driving that car, I would’ve agreed with your post 1000 times. Now I’m driving a car without any buttons on the dash and have absolutely zero problems. It’s not the method, but how it’s implemented. This is coming from me, a grumpy old man that doesn’t like change.
Guys, imagine now you arrive with your new car at the gas station: if you are using carplay you pay 30% more for the gas.
Would you be happy?

CarPlay is nice on my $50 Chinese crap stereo in my cheap car. I don't expect to buy a car 2015+ anytime soon. Maybe in 5-10 years.
But, cars which requires a decade old phone to get any use of the screens in 2035 will not be very fun.

I agree with you; I feel you are less concentrated one driving when you have to interact with touch screen interfaces.
Funny, but no, that's never been a thing. Stuff that you buy in apps but they deliver a physical good, you pay no fee to Apple at all (many food apps let you order and nothing goes to Apple in those), it's digital content that Apple put fees over.
