Tesla delays Apple CarPlay release due to Apple Maps syncing bug and low iOS 26 adoption, with over 74% of recent iPhones now running the update, Bloomberg reports.
- Tesla has delayed rolling out Apple CarPlay after asking Apple to fix a software bug that halted deployment, pulling back from an expected late-2025 release.

- Apple reported last week that over 74% of recent iPhones run iOS 26, and Bloomberg says Tesla will `accelerate the timeline` to add CarPlay soon, though sources note uncertainty about which minor version fixed the issue.
