CarPlay is very similar to Apple Pay, its distribution and start-up is slower than many users would like, but it is also true that it has a good pace of implementation and in the most current cars it is more than possible that they take it from origin . In this case Lexus adds on the 12,1-inch screen of its sedan model, Apple CarPlay.
Brands like Toyota are also fully implementing CarPlay in their cars and in this case both firms announced the arrival of Apple software for their cars shortly. But in this case there is a "negative point" and that is that in this Lexus model despite the huge screen size this is not touch.
Management of on-screen functions is done directly from the console or car controls and this type of interface may be more or less pleasant, but it is common to see that the screens are touch screens in cars. In this case, there are two versions of the screen, the 8-inch for the entry model and the 12,1-inch that allows you to have a couple of applications open simultaneously. This new Lexus ES 2019 model goes on sale in September this year.
CarPlay is still a bit lacking
Some users who already enjoy CarPlay explain that the system is fast, reliable and good for those who get to drive, but evidently the comparisons with the rest of similar software are present and it seems that the Apple system is still a step behind in most cases. It is functional, but could always be improved. Maybe for the WWDC in June Apple will add some interesting news, we'll see what happens.
