The tech giant has announced that the first models with next-generation CarPlay support will be available in 2024, but the exact release date and availability in other countries remains a mystery for now.
What will the new CarPlay app offer?
For starters, your CarPlay experience will be even more customizable, with the ability to adjust the theme and color scheme of the interface to match your dashboard. Let’s take a look at eight new apps you can tinker with.

- Dashcam: With this app, you can control your car’s rearview camera and get a clear view of what’s going on behind your car.
- Charging: This app is a game changer if you have an electric vehicle. You’ll be able to monitor your battery level, charging status, and more from your CarPlay screen.
- Climate: Stay comfortable on the road with the Climate app, which lets you control your car’s cooling and heating system with just a few taps.
