Apple determined to announce next-gen CarPlay in 2023

Remember Apple’s CarPlay-related announcements at WWDC 2022? That’s right, they promised many things coming, including an immersive symbiosis between the iPhone and the car. Since then, however, things have been pretty quiet.

Now that we’re in the last two months of 2023 (I know, I know, technically it’s October, but the way time flies we can safely say it’s already November), Apple insists that CarPlay announcements are coming in 2023.

9to5Mac’s Editor-in-chief Chance Miller has spotted some interesting information on Apple’s website that’s dedicated to the CarPlay project. Here’s what the Cupertino giant is teasing us with:



On that same webpage, Apple adds: “Vehicle announcements coming in late 2023”. Per Miller, the fact that Apple hasn’t updated this date means they’re on track with actually bringing some announcements in 2023.

Apple previously said that the following automakers have signed on to support next-generation CarPlay: Land Rover, Mercedes Benz, Lincoln, Audi, Volvo, Honda, Porsche, Nissan, Ford, Jaguar, Acura, Polestar, Infiniti, and Renault.

Do you want an Apple car?

Apple’s plans for the next-gen CarPlay can be described simply as bonkers: the iPhone-powered CarPlay of the future will let you control everything, from your car radio to the A/C, to the position of your seats. There’s more of the same: Apple wants to control every display in your car to show all kinds of information and grant you full control over your vehicle's operational, comfort, and media features.
