CarPlay Ultra: Features, Supported Cars, More
- Apple launched CarPlay Ultra, a next-generation infotainment system, in May 2025, available initially in Aston Martin vehicles in the U.S. And Canada.

- CarPlay Ultra’s rollout suggests a gradual adoption of deeply integrated interfaces in vehicles, but near-term access remains limited mainly to high-end Aston Martin models with future software updates expanding availability.
