For what it's worth, as a Tesla owner, I don't particularly see the need for CarPlay, as I have found the in-car system that the company has developed to be superior. However, many people are in love with CarPlay simply because, when it's in a car that is capable, it is really great. The post Tesla’s Apple CarPlay ambitions are not dead, they’re still in the works appeared first on TESLARATI.

Rivian’s opposition to CarPlay is well-documented, with CEO RJ Scaringe emphasizing the automaker’s focus on creating a native and integrated infotainment experience.

Tesla's move to add Apple CarPlay fuels fan theories linking it to the loss of the US EV tax credit.

"100%. It’s needed for sales because for many prospective buyers, CarPlay is a nonnegotiable must-have. If they knew how good the Tesla UI is, they wouldn’t think they need CarPlay," one owner said.

A report claims the smartphone-mirroring infotainment tech is being trialed internally, but it may or may not reach customers.

Teslas don't have Apple CarPlay right now. But they could gain the feature in the coming months according to a new report.

Almost half of US car buyers won't consider a car without Apple CarPlay.

Citing insiders reportedly familiar with the matter, Bloomberg News claimed that CarPlay is being trialed by the EV maker internally. The post Tesla reportedly testing Apple CarPlay integration: report appeared first on TESLARATI.

Tesla, one of the original Apple CarPlay holdouts, may finally be close to actually adopting the immensely popular phone projection system for its cars, Bloomberg reports today. The company has started testing the capability internally, anonymous sources tell the publication, and could be close to releasing it publicly, perhaps in a few months — or perhaps not at all. Tesla has a history of toying with various features for months or even years before eventually deciding to kill them. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are typically two of the most sought after features for new car shoppers. But despite loud protests from fans, Tesla has never allowed phone mirroring in its cars, arguing that it can provide a better, more integrated software experience than a smartphone — a position that is strangely growing popular among some legacy automakers, like GM.

The Cadillac Lyriq is now the only EV in GM’s American lineup that still supports smartphone projection.

The General says it plans to drop support for phone projection on all new vehicles in the near future.

General Motors CEO Mary Barra said switching from the car’s native interface to CarPlay and back can be “clunky”.

GM plans to drop support for phone projection on all new vehicles in the near future, and not just its electric car lineup, according to GM CEO Mary Barra. In Decoder interview with The Verge’s Nilay Patel, published Wednesday, Barra confirmed GM will eventually end support of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on both gas-powered and electric cars as the company proceeds to a major rollout of it’s calling a new centralized computing platform, set to launch in 2028. In place of phone projection, GM is working to update its current Android-powered infotainment experience with a Google Gemini-powered assistant and an assortment of other custom apps, built both in-house and with partners. GM’s 2023 decision to drop CarPlay and Android Auto support for the EVs in its lineup has proved controversial, though GM has maintained support for phone

I’ve been using Nomad bands for years now, and they’ve become my go to recommendation for anyone looking for a non-Apple, Apple Watch band. Nomad’s lineup has something for every situation, from sporty FKM bands to premium titanium and leather options. Personally, I always gravitate toward two styles: their Sport Band for everyday use and their Titanium Band when I want something more elevated and classy. But Nomad just blew my mind with their newest release, the Stratos Band. This band somehow combines both styles and materials into one hybrid design. Something I did not know I wanted, but now I need! Here’s what you should know. more…

Samsung Electronics’ foundry business is showing signs of a quick recovery from its protracted losses, as it added Apple to its list of foundry clients on Thursday after signing a sizeable chip supply deal with Tesla last week. The back-to-back deals have eased market concerns over the sluggish utilization rates at Samsung’s semiconductor plants in Texas. With volume production of the newly ordered chips set to begin next year, Samsung’s foundry competitiveness is expected to strengthen further, helping the tech giant recover from a slowdown in profitability. Upon announcing its $600 billion investment plan into the United States, Apple said in a press release Thursday that Samsung will supply chips from its production plant in Austin, Texas, for Apple products, including iPhones. “Apple is also working with Samsung at its fab in Austin, Texas, to launch an innovative new technology for making chips, which has never been used before anywhere in the world,” the release read. “This
