User Opinions
Some users appreciate the consistency and ease of use that CarPlay provides. As one user noted,
CarPlay uses your phone as the main computing platform, and the car’s infotainment system only needs to act as a thin client for I/O, it keeps updating with iOS.
Another user highlighted the benefits of CarPlay’s personalization, stating
CarPlay makes this easy, because the interface is linked to your own personal device.
However, not all users are convinced of CarPlay’s necessity. One user mentioned,
I am clearly in the minority here but I have driven cars with and without CarPlay and honestly do not care whether a car has it.
