Comments on: Apple Auto – Not my model https://www.radiofreemobile.com/apple-auto-not-my-model/ To entertain as well as inform Fri, 18 Apr 2025 06:25:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26 By: Colin https://www.radiofreemobile.com/apple-auto-not-my-model/#comment-667 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 09:29:29 +0000 http://www.radiofreemobile.com/?p=1547#comment-667 The central premise of this article looks wrong to me. I doubt very much if Apple is going to “launch iOS 7 to be built into dashboard infotainment systems”.

It seems much more likely that CarPlay will be conceptually similar to AirPlay, in which Apple devices play content via the car infotainment system and each can control the other. Standardising integration with many different infotainment systems would be a desirable new feature of Apple devices. Consequently Apple will sell more devices and presumably generate some licensing revenue from car makers.

The comment about Tesla also looks off the mark. Why would conversations between Apple and Tesla about CarPlay involve Apple’s VP of M&A? On the other hand, conversations about a shared interest in advancing battery technology probably would include M&A considerations.

Likewise, I wonder if we should expect Apple to follow iOS-in-car with its own car? 🙂
