CarPlay 2 deadline arrives with no announcement | Apple's webpage promise of a 2024 launch

CarPlay 2, aka next-generation CarPlay, was announced way back in the summer of 2022. At the time, Apple said that a list of supporting cars would be available in 2023, and two brands were later said to be launching in 2024.

Today is the last chance to hit that deadline, and Apple’s CarPlay webpage still carries that promise. Unless there’s a surprise announcement later today, the question is: Will the date be quietly changed to 2025, or is this project now dead in the water … ?

One year after the end of Apple leather iPhone cases, what do you use? [Poll]

One year after the end of Apple leather iPhone cases, what do you use? | Leather-like case shown

I’m fairly firmly convinced that people who don’t keep their iPhone in a case are from an entirely different species to me. While I don’t make a habit of dropping mine, I don’t think there has been a year in which I haven’t dropped or knocked it against something at least once.

For me, then, an iPhone case falls into the category of a necessity rather than a luxury – but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a luxurious look and feel …

iPhone battery mAh capacity list

We saw a report this week that iPhone 15 Pro customer satisfaction has dropped considerably since launching last September – low enough that the iPhone 15/Plus is now rated higher by users. Why?

Favorite iPhone models | iPhone box

One day ahead of the launch of the iPhone 15 line-up, CNN took a look back at every iPhone which preceded it, from the original iPhone in 2007 onward. That got me thinking about my favorites, and wondering: Which were yours?

When Steve Jobs presented the first ever iPhone – with his famous “an iPod, a phone and internet communicator … are you getting it?” reveal – he said it was a magical product which was five years ahead of anything else on the market …
