I am loving the new Public Beta on my 16 Pro Max and I use wired CarPlay daily on my Peugeot 208 GT.
Waze, Music and Whatsapp business is what I use mainly.
I found too many unexpected UI errors which I reported to Apple thru the feedback app.
After5 or 6 entries, I finally got an email from Apple saying that they believe the problems I have are third party issues and that I should contact the developer.
It is ridiculous. All the problems are clearly with the UI and not with a specific App. So basically they are not even looking into the problems.
Most of the problems I have are in the native Apple Music app:
The text inside the "bubbles" gets cut off or hyphenated. It doesn't fit in the bubble
Holding The FF ">>" or RWD "<<" buttons don't work at all. You can touch them to Next and previous tracks and that works normally.
when you search something using the keyboard like in Waze, The new smaller keyboard is too small and the left hand side of it doesn't input anything. Meaning, pressing some letters does not do anything so you can't type the words needed.
In the music app again, the down and up arrows don't work well. You click the down arrow to scroll down and it works one time But the second time, the up arrow is the one that scrolls down... Weird.
Some UI weirdness...
The clock is too big for the side bar. so are the signal bars.
I like the fact that you get a smaller less intrusive incoming call alert on the bottom of screen but in WhatsApp, for example, the Reply, New Message Window is also on the bottom taking up a 3rd of the screen and it looks weird. It should be centered like it was before. It looked better.
In music app. The < button and the three lines are too big and they don't look liquid enough...
The Apple Maps is still useless to me. It' doesn't compare to Google Maps or Waze. The graphics are too weird and the directions and information pop ups are way to big if you have a small nav screen in your car.
Wishes.
I wish the dock would auto hide.
You can do multi touch pan and pinch zoom on google maps on Android Auto but not on CarPlay...
It would be nice to have a small Audio Player on Navigation apps. The split screen is just ok but it would be nice to be able to drag to change the sizes of the 3 elements on the screen.
I hope the new soon to be released Public Beta will correct some of these problems. In the meantime, Apple didn't acknowledge the issues...
We'll see.
Cheers
