CarPlay 2.0, the highly anticipated next-generation in-car software experience promised by Apple, has missed its 2024 deadline. Despite small updates being discovered in November, a full launch has been delayed to potentially happen in 2025.
Initially announced by Apple in December 2023 with partnerships in place with Porsche and Aston Martin, CarPlay 2.0 was expected to roll out in the US in 2024. As we enter 2025, the software is still awaited. Speculations arise on whether Apple is still actively developing the upgraded CarPlay or if the project has been halted similarly to the speculated Apple Car project.
While no recent updates have been provided by Apple, slight changes like updated icons in iOS 18.2 hint at the ongoing development of CarPlay 2.0. The enhanced version aims at deeper integration with vehicle features such as climate control, cameras, and EV status, requiring collaboration with car manufacturers – possibly causing the delays.
Although concerns were raised regarding the delay, hope remains for a successful launch as Apple provided detailed insights on CarPlay 2.0 at WWDC event in June 2024. As enthusiasts await further updates, the possibility of hearing more on the progress at upcoming WWDC showcases lingers.
