Porsche Considering 'Exciting' Joint Projects With Apple

Something like 94% of Porsche owners are iOS users according to their CEO So Android wouldn’t make sense.
I think the relationship between Apple and Porsche makes absolute sense, they’re both ‘luxury brands’, but they both strive for for perfection. If there was one partnership that Apple would probably make in the EV sector in the future, it would definitely be with Porsche, given their ‘end goals’ would align, and they are both relatively secretive companies respectively.
i had a nice bmw 335ci for 10 years with windows ce and an instance of microsoft sqlserver 2000 for media management. And it never failed 🚀🏆🤩
Clearly you’re “handling it wrong”. Honestly since everything became less mechanical and more electronic, things start to seriously deteriorating in Auto world even German ones.
Hopefully Apple will lend a helping hand in electronics, while Porche handles design and driving performance.
As much as I’d like a Porsche suv I can’t get over how similar they look to the other VAG machines. Obviously Porsche has a distinctive shape but doesn’t take much imagination, especially when viewed from the rear, to see how the macan looks like a q5, Tiguan, and cayenne looks like the q7, Touareg, kodiak, Tarraco,
they clearly share aero and other design traits.
fit and finish will be hugely different but they should drive similar albeit the bigger engines only available on the more prestigious marques will take the chassis places the others can’t but that’s only really useful on a track.

We laugh. But this does put a new meaning to the idea of blue screen of death.
If they can fix the volkswagen/porsche software ecosystem, tesla starts getting some real competition.
Makes sense then why my partner's Cayman doesn't have android auto. She wasn't amused.
Not surprisingly: people highly sensitive to performance coupled with high aesthetics😉
Sorry to break it to you but this will never happen, Apple have left it too late and messed up each step of the way.
To get an apple car you need a Steve Jobs and sadly we have Tim Cook instead
Working with Porsche would speed-up Apple Car and perhaps make it reality because Porsche made a very good EV car.
An Apple Car could be serviced at Porsche dealerships.
Apple designs the Car with Porsche and Foxconn makes it. Problem solved.
?
I don't think Apple would be interested in supporting ICE products (and they would have to considering Porsche only sells 1 EV model). I still think VWAG still plans on owning enough of Porsche (well in this case Porsche owning enough of Porsche since they own VWAG) to still have control over the company. Of course this is also ignoring that Porsche also owns Rimac (and by extension Bugatti because they gave Rimac Bugatti).
