Apple CarPlay Ultra Completely Dominates Your In-Car Screens
Briefly

Apple CarPlay Ultra, debuting in 2025 Aston Martin vehicles, revolutionizes vehicle infotainment by integrating control of both the main infotainment screen and the driver's instrument cluster for a seamless experience. This new iteration requires an iPhone 12 or newer running iOS 18.5 or later and will likely be adopted by other brands like Porsche and Genesis. While the user interface maintains Apple’s familiar aesthetic, it allows for greater interaction with vehicle systems, such as climate controls, extending CarPlay's functionality beyond conventional phone mirroring.
Apple CarPlay Ultra is a significant evolution in vehicle infotainment, extending control beyond just the center screen to include the driver’s information display.
Automakers express concerns about the amount of data CarPlay accesses, but Apple’s new approach in CarPlay Ultra offers a tailored infotainment experience that aligns better with individual branding.
