    upcoming new Apple product categories

    (No question, just some observations...) Apple's put huge effort into 2 new product categories: mixed reality (about to be released) vehicles (maybe someday released) When I think back to when "smartphone" was a new product category for Apple, Apple was extraordinarily positioned to have a...

    iPhone Bluetooth to car iPod USB interface?

    I have a 2011 Chevy Volt that has a USB connection for iPods and Bluetooth for phone calls but not for audio. I’ve seen some wireless CarPlay adapters out there which got me thinking: is there a device I could plug into the car’s USB port which would wirelessly connect (by Bluetooth or whatever)...

    iPhone 13 mini Selecting search results on CarPlay

    Is it just my stereo or is there really no way to tap on the map icons when searching for a place on CarPlay? It will display a list of results with truncated addresses, and a whole bunch of pins on the map. How do I reliably pick one? They're not even numbered like on Android Auto so I have no...

    Auto Apple Car ad

    Was thinking how fun it would be to write copy for Apple Car ads. So I made one. (I know it's an old model phone but I liked the photo.)

    Apple Car

    Saw this car driving in Ventura CA today and was able to get behind it. It has an Apple logo and says Prototype I on the trunk. Has exhaust tips so apparently not electric. No other visual cues of being a smart car (obvious cameras, sensors, accessories on dash) It kind of looks like a 7...

    Speeding Ticket Procedure in the UK?

    I was just wondering how the whole speeding thing works in the UK these days. If you get pulled over for speeding, do they issue you with a ticket there on the spot, or will they tell you that you're speeding, let you go and then you get a notice in the post weeks later informing you of...

    I can't figure out why my iPhone keeps disconnecting from my car ...

    Lately when I am listening to music on my iPhone 11 Pro through my car stereo (via Bluetooth) and I ask Siri a question, (sometimes) my music will quit playing through via Bluetooth and will start playing on the built in speaker on my iPhone. When I look at my car stereo it says that it is still...

    Finding a keyfob the 21st century way....

    I lost my keys about 3 weeks or so ago and kinda gave up on finding them...I had one last idea on how to find them but I don't think it is possible. The keyfob is the type where my car will only start if the keyfob is within a couple of feet of my car (I assume it is NFC). My theory is that the...

    iPhone Using iPhone as hotspot in car

    I've just upgraded to a significantly newer car (VW T-ROC) with quite a bit of tech. One of the things it can do is connect via wifi to a phone hotspot to pull down calendar events, parking and traffic information. I've found that once configured, it only connects to the phone if I briefly open...

    Apple is Making a Car - just not one for you

    This needs to be said. Yes, Apple is making a car. Just not one you will be able to buy. After years of countless rumors and top-level hires, the press world is still uncertain about whether Apple is doing a car, a self driving OS or a ride-hailing service. Guess what, it's all of them...
