Apple sets up webpage listing every car with CarPlay

If you want to buy a car that has Apple's CarPlay feature installed, Apple has just made it a lot easier to find what you're looking for.

Here, finally, is a bit of good news for those of you thinking about buying a 2016 Ferrari [NYSE:RACE] F12 tdf. The vehicle will come equipped with Apple CarPlay. Breathe easy car buyers!

In all seriousness though, Apple just put out a webpage that will make your car buying options a bit smaller should you be on the hunt for a vehicle equipped with the tech firm's CarPlay smartphone integration system, which lets you access and control your phone's app using the car's controls and screen.

On the new webpage (www.apple.com/ios/carplay/available-models/), you can see a list of every car being offered that comes packing the tech. There's a vehicle for all sorts of budgets too, as you could be shopping for a 2016 Hyundai Sonata or 2016 Chevy Spark on up to that aforementioned offering from the prancing horse purveyor. Chevrolet, Cadillac, and Volkswagen are leading the pack when it comes to which company is offering up the most models with the infotainment tech. Still, if you just round up all of the General Motors Company [NYSE:GM] brands, then the battle isn't even close.

Could there be more Apple automotive Internet goodness around the corner? Well, if you go by the latest batch of WhoIs listings in Apple's name, then yes it seems that's quite possible. Apple recently acquired the web addresses Apple.Car, Apple.Cars, and Apple.Auto. We'd love to know if those are going to point towards an actual Apple designed and built automobile... or if it's all just related to CarPlay.

For now, we can just look at the CarPlay page to tell our fanboy friends which car they should be looking to buy.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
