Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2022 was remarkable for many reasons – from the launch of the Apple silicon M2 chip, macOS Ventura, iOS/iPadOS 16 and watchOS 8 to something Apple called “the next generation of CarPlay”. CarPlay, of course, is the name Apple gives to your iPhone’s ability to interact with your car, bringing features such as Maps and Apple Music to its ‘infotainment’ system. The aim of next-gen CarPlay was to kick things up a gear, bringing even more of your car’s controls under Apple’s wing, while giving you extensive customisation options – like being able to override your car’s electronic dashboard and replace it with one styled in Cupertino.
