GM ditching Apple CarPlay has dealers concerned
GM is offering a new infotainment system that phases out Apple's popular CarPlay software, leaving some dealers perplexed.
Lots of well off people out there with iPhones. Not sure if they buy most GM products though.
Wow… this is a comical degree of self-sabotage. This is the one of the dumbest hills GM could have picked to die on. My sister and her husband were thinking about getting one of these, and I think they might rule it out simply based on this.
The Honda/Acura EVs will be Ultium but will still have CarPlay. Perhaps that would be a solution for them.
I haven't purchased a GM product in decades. They're just making their mediocre products even less appealing.
I have an android and am not affected by this but this still sounds incredibly stupid. There are 2 on the market, why would you not want to have them both? Especially when it's been done before and it's a good chunk of potential buyers.
They’re also removing Android Auto. CarPlay just gets mentioned because it’s better known and/or more buyers might use it (though I don’t know that personally).
Is google car mode even foss?
