What role does CarPlay Play?
CarPlay is a very useful and important feature as it connects the car screen with the iPhone which helps in easy dealing with the phone while driving. Messages, calls, music, maps all can be controlled quite smoothly with this feature and the experiences are powered by Siri.
Presently iOS 9.3 version is available to the user which has improved maps and Apple Music playlist than the iOS 9 one. However, soon the iOS 10 will be launched with some upgradation and will smooth the experience more. People will be able to rearrange and remove apps through Carplay and the Apple Music will be more streamlined. A welcome news indeed!
