Apple's CarPlay Ultra to Expand to These Vehicle Brands Later This Year

Source: MacRumors

Overview

Last year, Apple launched CarPlay Ultra, the long‑awaited next‑generation version of its CarPlay software system for vehicles. Nearly nine months later, CarPlay Ultra is still limited to Aston Martin’s latest luxury vehicles, but that should change fairly soon.

In May 2025, Apple said many other automakers were “in the pipeline” for CarPlay Ultra, but the company has not yet announced any additional partners. The lack of new models has left many iPhone users wondering when the upgraded interface will become widely available.
