- Rumors suggest that iOS 26 will bring with the design changes
- Up to now, increased accessibility functions have been dug up
Apple is due to announcing some updates to his CarPlay Infotainment software WWDC 2025 Event next week, with the next large iOS release planned with a number of changes in the car.
In recent years, Apple has been relatively slow in releasing CarPlay updates, with only the addition of an extra row of icons that appear for those who are lucky to have huge, portrait infotainment displays in their vehicles.
It seems that CarPlay UltraWho extends the carplay experience to the driver’s display and was recently announced by Aston Martin, has been the focus of the attention of the Californian tech giant.
But next week (specifically, Monday, June 9) could bring news to those among us who must have to do with good old -fashioned carplay, because Apple is said to be the appearance of being operating system About all devices with iOS 26, including those tied to the head unit of a vehicle.
Details remain scarce, but Macrumors Reports that the new user interface will have a more “glassy, vision-os inspired design”, in addition to some new accessibility functions, such as the possibility of activating a large text option and the expansion of sound recognition for CarPlay.
This function has been launched with iOS 18 Last year and can warn passengers or drivers who are deaf or hard of hearing or sirens outside the car, and babies detect those crying in the vehicle, which emphasize this with a report on the screen.
Analysis: New designs are fun, but ultra nails UX
Although the introduction of a general design change and some new accessibility functions are probably just the tip of the Apple CarPlay Update Iceberg, it is difficult to see how further tweaks can be better off what the company has achieved with CarPlay Ultra.
Finally, the system allows the type of control over the most important car functionality (without leaving the CarPlay ecosystem) that many drivers have been demanding for years.
Porsche introduced a kind of CarPlay Ultra-Lite With the launch of his new Macan, but Aston Martin Is the first to distance itself from the complete control of his digital displays, including those for the driver.
Purists will claim that Aston may have lost a certain charm with the disappearance of beautiful, hand -completed analogin inside, but it is difficult to get away from the user -friendliness of CarPlay Ultra UI.
The possibility to display the allocation application of your choice in glorious resolution before the driver’s eyes are a pleasure and the option to adjust the safety settings of the vehicle without carplay just logical.
Without the authorizations of the car manufacturer, it will be very difficult for Apple to implement these types of functions in any upcoming generic CarPlay update. But we do know that people like Hyundai, Kia, Renault, Porsche and Ford are all in line to receive Ultra in the near future.
Let us hope that Apple reveals some juicy CarPlay functions for user experience to make us not all of our new, expensive cars. Stay informed for us full WWDC 2025 cover next week.
