Apple Says iOS 13 to Bring 'Biggest Update to CarPlay Yet'
As part of its iOS 13 unveiling today at WWDC, Apple announced what it called "the biggest update to CarPlay yet."
The new version of CarPlay will feature a new interactive dashboard to view music, maps and more in a single view. It also includes a new, more advanced in-vehicle version of Apple Maps.
The Calendar and Music apps have also been redesigned to improve the user experience, while Siri will be able to deliver directions and music from third-party apps like Pandora and Waze.
