During the recent Worldwide Developers' Conference, Apple unveiled updates for iOS 26, particularly enhancing Apple CarPlay. Key features include a redesigned interface that integrates seamlessly into vehicles, offering a cohesive and expressive driving experience. Additionally, widgets will be introduced for quick access to information. Apple CarPlay Ultra was also announced, expanding CarPlay's functionality to vehicle dashboards. Currently limited to new Aston Martin models, Apple is collaborating with other automakers like Hyundai and Ford to broaden this technology's reach.
The new design extends into the car for a consistent, expressive experience while you drive, with great looking icons and more compact notifications.
Widgets will now be available to view in CarPlay, offering quick information like weather updates and live activity statuses, such as flight tracking.
Apple CarPlay Ultra expands capabilities to the car’s touchscreen and dashboard, providing the ultimate in-car experience with deep integration.
CarPlay Ultra is initially available for new Aston Martin vehicles in the US and Canada, with plans for broader adoption among various car manufacturers.
