Listen up, car fans and tech geeks! Aston Martin just dropped something slick—Apple’s brand-new CarPlay Ultra. Yep, the same Apple that makes your iPhone smarter has now turbocharged your dashboard.

The ultra-luxe carmaker teamed up with Apple to bring you the freshest, most futuristic in-car setup hitting roads right now.

This isn’t your grandma’s CarPlay. Apple’s latest upgrade hooks into your car’s entire digital cockpit—not just that middle screen you tap when you want your jams or directions.

Now, your speed, fuel, tire pressure, and all that good stuff pop up alongside your playlists and texts. Fancy, right? You can even tweak the look to match your vibe, with custom colors and widgets.

According to Apple’s official newsroom, it’s the next big thing in car tech, and it’s launching first on Aston Martins in the US and Canada.

If you thought Siri just helped you send texts hands-free, think again. You can control climate, audio, and even safety features with a quick voice command or a tap.

Aston Martin models like the DBX707 and Vantage are the lucky first to get this upgrade. If you already own one, keep your eyes peeled for a software update coming your way.

Wired calls it “a big leap for CarPlay,” and honestly, it’s about time. Apple’s long teased a deeper car integration, and here it is, rolling out with British luxury flair.

Heads up, though: to enjoy CarPlay Ultra, you’ll need an iPhone 12 or newer running iOS 18.5 or later. Not bad if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem.

Other carmakers like Hyundai and Porsche are lining up to join the party soon, but Aston Martin has the crown for now.

So buckle up, because driving just got a whole lot smarter—and a little cooler. Your car is officially catching up with your phone.
