CarPlay, a New Information and Entertainment System from Apple

Last time we shared an article that Google and Audi is working together to develop a car entertainment and information system.

Now this time we are going to share an announcement made by Apple. Apple has announced CarPlay, an in-car infotainment system that lets you connect your iOS device with your car.
Currently, Apple is running a system called "iOS in the Car", so we can say it's a rebranding of Apple's "iOS in the Car".

With the help of CarPlay system, iPhone users will be able to make calls, access messages, listen to music or use Maps in their cars using Siri-based voice control, touch controls, or standard knobs, dials and buttons in the car. It also support Third party apps such as Spotify, Beats Radio, Stitcher and iHeartRadio.

Apple said "later on, the CarPlay system will also be embraced by an impressive roster of car manufacturers: BMW Group, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai Motor Company, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia Motors, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan Motor Company, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota Motor Corp."

CarPlay will become available as an update to iOS 7 on lightning-enabled iPhones, which currently means the iPhone 5, iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C.
