Apple rarely misses voluntary deadlines, but it's doing so with the next generation of CarPlay. The company originally teased an update in 2022.
With this new version, CarPlay seamlessly integrates with your equipment cluster to provide information about speed, climate control, and other vehicle data. Apple had promised an initial rollout of a limited set of cars in 2024.
Now that the deadline has passed, Apple has updated Macrumors on the status of Carplay. The company hasn't mentioned the original roadmap, but Apple has confirmed that it's still very much a work in progress.
“We continue to work closely with several automakers, allowing us to introduce our unique brand and visual design philosophy in the next generation of CarPlay,” the company told MacRumors. Apple has updated the CarPlay page on its website to remove mention of 2024.
Now it's a waiting game to find out if Apple hits the mark in 2025.
