During Apple’s WWDC kick-off conference today, Apple unveiled a few new features coming to Apple CarPlay in its upcoming iOS 13. The first of which is a new CarPlay dashboard split-screen view.

iOS 13 releases to the general public this fall on all iPhones from iPhone 6s and newer, or an iPod Touch 7th Generation. The public beta will launch in July and developers will have access from today.
I hope we can get hands-on with the new Apple CarPlay in iOS 13 real soon. So stay tuned.
