Next-generation CarPlay's first model is also expected to arrive in 2024, according to Apple's website.

The holiday season is here, and Apple and other companies often hold new releases. However, according to Apple's website, the major update we are expecting - the debut of the next-generation CarPlay model - has not yet arrived.

"Trends in Apple's CarPlay announcements at year-end"

Apple promised to announce its next-generation car with CarPlay before the end of 2023, and it has been a year and a half since then. The first manufacturers to release their models were Porsche and Aston Martin.

However, there is still another unfulfilled promise related to CarPlay. Apple's website has long stated, and continues to do so today, that the next-generation CarPlay model will arrive in 2024.

There isn't much time left this year, yet no updates have been made in this field.

We may be assuming that Porsche, Aston Martin, or another automobile manufacturer is preparing something with Apple to announce before the end of 2024.

"Or, it's possible that the release of the next-generation CarPlay has been delayed. And there still seems to be no update."

There is pressure until the end of 2024, but there is still time

I frequently check Apple's CarPlay page and expect to see small banners update from "The first model will arrive in 2024" to something like "Scheduled for 2025" or "Planned for future release."

Nothing has changed officially so far.

However, Apple still has time. Last year, they waited until December 20th to announce the next-generation CarPlay. This year, it might be worth hoping that it will take a little longer.

While overly optimistic may not be ideal, it is theoretically good that there are no updates yet. This shows that the release is still expected.

"What we expect from the next generation of CarPlay"

About the latest CarPlay, according to Apple:

The next-generation CarPlay offers the best iPhone experience in the car. It provides content on all driver screens and includes the dashboard. This ensures a seamless design experience between the car and the iPhone. Each automobile manufacturer's design expresses your vehicle's character and brand. Vehicle functions such as radio and temperature control are processed directly from CarPlay. And with options to customize, including selecting curtain designs from widgets, it offers something unique for drivers.
