As of last week, the page said CarPlay was available in over 600 vehicle models. Apple then added several 2023 and 2024 models to the list as part of the update, bringing the total to more than 800.
The updated number comes after GM and other automakers announced plans to phase out CarPlay in future EVs in favor of their own in-car software platforms, in some cases developed in partnership with Google.
At last year’s WWDC, Apple said 79% of US buyers would only consider a vehicle that works with CarPlay and said the platform is available in 98% of vehicles sold in the country. “It’s a must-have feature when buying a new vehicle,” Apple added.
Apple plans to introduce the next generation of CarPlay later this year, with support for multiple dashboard displays, instrument cluster integration, built-in climate controls, an FM radio app, widgets, more customization and more . Apple said the first vehicles with support for the new CarPlay experience will be announced later this year, with more than a dozen automakers committed to offering the new feature.
