Episode notes
CarPlay Ultra Moving Into Mainstream EVs
- Hyundai's Ioniq 3 may bring CarPlay Ultra to a mainstream EV, expanding access beyond luxury brands.
- This could make CarPlay Ultra the first next-gen system available in a broadly affordable electric car.
Mainstream Adoption Could Pressure Rivals
- Hyundai's adoption matters because many EV-only makers like Tesla and Rivian don't support CarPlay at all.
- A mainstream automaker backing CarPlay Ultra could pressure others to adopt Apple's system.
Check Wallet For Rivian Car Keys
- Expect Rivian owners to check Wallet for Car Key support and wait for Rivian to enable it server-side.
- Watch for a toggle from Rivian soon because Apple reports the backend is ready to go live.
