Apple updates CarPlay with widgets and Liquid Glass

Apple's redesigning all of its software this year,关键字1 and CarPlay's no exception.

In a short recap of new features, during the company's opening keynote at WWDC Monday, Apple gave CarPlay a nod, mentioning it's a feature that's used "more than 600 million times per day."

Just like iOS 26, CarPlay has been updated with the company's new Liquid Glass look.
