The new CarPlay now supports the Liquid Glass display, which further adds design flamboyancy to the app icons, background, and widgets. The second big update is the introduction of a smaller call bar. Earlier, whenever users picked up/dialled a number, the whole screen used to be filled with the caller bar. However, the update has resolved it, and a new caller bar will appear on the screen footer during an ongoing call. This will make using other apps like navigation easier. Additionally, users will now be able to respond to the texts quickly. A new quick tab has been introduced that features quick emojis, which users can press and send instant replies to any text. Moreover, users will now be able to go through their live activities while using maps and other apps. This way, users will be able to keep an eye on their live activities while simultaneously using other applications. Also, widgets will now be offered as standard to all users, unlike previously, where these were limited to the CarPlay Ultra users. For the new 2025 Aston Martin owners, CarPlay Ultra will be offered as standard. By using it, users will be able to access the full breadth of screens for using features like navigation, and more. Our verdict The introduction of the new CarPlay will not only change the complete dynamics for users, but it will also help in improving efficiency in the long term. Moreover, Android Auto is also working on a big update, which shall roll out soon, hence the new CarPlay will enjoy an edge until it lands officially. Source
