According to automotive information sites COOL HUNTING and Car and Driver, 'next generation CarPlay' is functionally based on the current CarPlay. However, a new UI will be used that is integrated not only with the infotainment screen in the center of the vehicle, but with all screens inside the vehicle.

Specifically, COOL HUNTING reports that it will look like this.



The next-generation CarPlay is not just a simple UI improvement, but is characterized by the fact that it collaborates with car manufacturers to create an interface tailored to each vehicle.

Below is an example of Porsche.



The information screen on the driver's side features three dial meters including a speedometer, and the circular UI of the drive mode indicator has a special design that matches the drive mode knob.



On the other hand, the Aston Martin example looks like this.



It has a dual gauge layout with meters on the left and right sides, the traditional British racing green color, and the words 'Handbuilt in Great Britain' on the tachometer.

In the future, we plan to add the next generation of CarPlay to Porsche.We will provide an experience that combines the exclusivity of Porsche with a personal touch using the owner's iPhone. I’m looking forward to what we can do.”

Marco Mattiazzi, Aston Martin's Global Head of Brand and Commercial Affairs, said: 'The main reason we chose to work with Apple's next-generation CarPlay was because Aston Martin is committed to excellence and performance. Integrating the latest cutting-edge technology with a bespoke, intuitive interface is paramount to delivering the ultimate customer experience. We are working with Apple to deliver next-generation CarPlay in 2024. I’m looking forward to it.”
