Apple’s CarPlay 2 technology, which was promised in 2024, has been delayed and still needs some work.
Apple confirmed the delay via its CarPlay 2 website, though the system is still undergoing development.
In a statement to 9to5Mac, however, Apple said that it is still working with “several automakers” to implement the next-generation CarPlay experience.
All throughout 2024, Apple’s CarPlay site claimed that the first models with CarPlay 2 would arrive in 2024.
Up until December, the language remained unchanged, leading may to believe that a launch was imminent and the software would hit its deadline. The deadline passed with no announcement, eching a similar event from late 2023, when Apple promised the first CarPlay 2-supporting automakers would be announced. They kept that promise, just barely, with a December news drop.
At this point, Apple has yet to announce a new date as to when to expect CarPlay 2 as well as a list of auto manufacturers that will support it.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
