Episode 4: Driving with CarPlay

Wow, infotainment.

For our fourth regular show, first we look at a few items of Apple news, including bent iPad Pro (iPads Pro?) and the end of in-app subscriptions for Netflix on iOS. Then we go for a virtual road trip as we take an in-depth look at CarPlay, as implemented both by car manufacturers and the growing third party ecosystem. What do we like? What can be improved? And what should you look at if you want to add CarPlay to your life.
