Perfect fit for all interior screens? Introduction to Apple ios 16CarPay car system
In the introduction of ios 16 at the WWDC developer conference, the last and most surprising thing is the new generation of CarPlay on-board system. It is said that it can adapt to all the screen layouts in the car. Then what is the specific situation? Let's follow the editor to have a look.
Introduction to Apple ios 16CarPay car system
In this version of iOS, the car system CarPlay also ushered in a major update. In addition to the music, navigation, weather, call and car machine operation of some apps that can be achieved before, this update also adds control over many functions such as the air conditioning system, instrument panel style, etc.
The new version of Apple CarPlay can not only project mobile phone functions onto the central entertainment screen, but also provide content on more screens, including the dashboard. In the promotional video, Apple showed us a variety of dashboard UI styles. The overall UI is simple, and users can customize the theme of the dashboard according to their preferences.
The whole process is just like the theme in Android phones, which can be customized according to your own preferences. At present, there are only a few dashboard styles displayed by Apple. I believe that with the introduction of new functions, more and more developers will join in, and more customized versions may be derived, giving us more expectations for the style of automobile dashboard.
In terms of the functions of the dashboard, Apple has displayed a variety of information such as navigation, multimedia, vehicle speed and endurance. It can be found that these information are rearranged and displayed by Apple after reading the vehicle information. Therefore, it can also be judged that the new version of Apple CarPlay will have a deeper cooperation with Apple and the car companies.
In addition to the expansion of the screen, the new version of Apple CarPlay has also made adjustments to the overall functional layout as the size of the large central control screen of the car continues to increase. It can display multiple functions more intuitively on the first screen, including music, navigation and other interfaces.
The most noteworthy thing about this Apple CarPlay update is that it has added control to the vehicle's air conditioning system and seat heating function. With the cancellation of car entity keys, the control of operation functions such as air conditioning is integrated into the screen. After this update, when the car is connected to Apple CarPlay, we can control the air conditioning and seat heating functions more quickly without exiting.
In addition, the custom settings of widgets are added this time, so you can choose to display the frequently used functions on the phone, including to-do list, clock, etc. on the car screen. Through these small pieces, you can not only get information intuitively, but also realize the interconnection of smart home through the My Home component displayed in the official video.
Through the above provision of multi screen content and the unification of the overall UI, users can have a unified experience. Apple also said this time that no matter what screen size or screen layout your car uses, Apple will adapt your car to achieve a better experience.
The new Apple CarPlay will support the models of Land Rover, Audi, Mercedes Benz, Acura, Jaguar and many other brands. However, the official said that only the models released later next year will be carried in succession, and the existing products may not be realized. To experience these new features, we need to buy a new car.
CarPlay was first introduced at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show, when only Mercedes Benz, Ferrari and Volvo supported its launch. However, with the powerful functions of CarPlay, it has supported more than 600 models.
The above is the specific content of the introduction of Apple's ios 16CarPay on-board system. It can be seen that the new generation of CarPlay on-board system has made great progress in the deep integration of hardware with the vehicle, and various powerful adaptations can meet the different needs of car owners. However, if you want to experience it, you will have to wait until next year.
