FULL STORY ======================================================================New screenshots of Apples CarPlay 2 have just surfaced online They purport to
show widgets designed for Apples car dashboard system CarPlay 2 has seemingly been delayed and lacks a release date

CarPlay is Apples digital system for interacting with your car listening to music, using maps, that sort of thing. And the company has been teasing CarPlay 2 for what seems like forever, all with very little to show for it. Now, though, it looks like weve just been given a glimpse of how it will
work, including a set of widgets that will give you all sorts of abilities from your dashboard.

The leaked images were posted by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris on X . There, Perris uploaded four shots of a rectangular dashboard populated with various widgets. All of the images were monochrome, but its likely that the final CarPlay 2 release will feature much more color.

The first image displayed a large, empty rectangle that can be populated with widgets. Some of those widgets were shown in the second picture, which depicted square widgets for the Clock, Weather, and Calendar apps. Perris
also showed a widget for a combined navigation and music display next to a standalone music player.

Despite that, Perris didnt reveal where these images came from or provide any more information on what we can expect from CarPlay 2, leaving us with plenty of questions to answer. Where is CarPlay 2?

CarPlay 2 has had a long, bumpy road since it was first announced. Apple teased it at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in 2022, saying it would release the updated system before too long. Yet theres been nothing but radio silence since then.

In fact, Apples CarPlay website still says that the first models featuring CarPlay 2 will arrive in 2024. Clearly, thats not going to happen anymore.

One reason for the delay could be that CarPlay 2 is not the same
plug-and-play outfit as the original CarPlay was. The first edition of the
car dashboard system uses the same rectangular layout in every car, making it easy for vehicle manufacturers to include it. CarPlay 2, on the other hand, promises a complete dashboard takeover, which means that Apple has to work directly with each carmaker to weave it into their unique layouts. That has likely, at least partially, caused the delay with the rollout.

The revelation of the new CarPlay 2 screenshots should give Apple fans some hope that work is progressing well. But without any word from Apple, theres
no way of knowing when it will finally make its long-awaited and much anticipated arrival. You might also like Apple promised us CarPlay 2.0 in
