Apple quietly bankrolled a lobbying group for app builders

Apple’s CarPlay continues to be frustratingly fundamental.

Stephen Hackett at 512 Pixels has blogged in regards to the frustrations he’s had migrating to a brand new iPhone and never having his CarPlay preferences carry over, regardless of each different app on his cellphone copying over appropriately.

I’m with him on that, however I’m extra irritated by the second level he highlights: CarPlay nonetheless treats each car you connect with as a distinct factor. Instead of preserving your preferences once you plug in to a distinct automobile, it makes you set all of it up once more for every new car. This is annoying for households with a couple of automobile; it’s downright maddening for frequent customers of rental automobiles. Seems like a easy factor to repair!
