What features can we look forward to in CarPlay and Maps? A new leak from iOS 14 now answers this question.
The US blog 9to5mac has got its hands on an early version of iOS 14. Based on the internal Apple build, some new features for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV have already been revealed. But now there is more. Based on the iOS 14 code, the guys from 9to5mac filter out new details about Maps. According to this, users can find out more information about Apple Stores in the area of availability of hardware repairs in Maps. This means that the app shows, for example, whether screen and battery repairs can be carried out on the same day in a particular store. If you want to buy a new product, you can use Maps to see whether the respective Apple Store offers the exchange of older products. However, the functions should not only work in the Apple Store. According to the leak, some Apple-authorized service partners are also listed.
Innovations in CarPlay
In addition, Apple Maps will highlight places with seating for couples, discounts for children and private rooms. In the CarPlay area, iOS 14 will feature a feature that many users have already requested - new backgrounds. Users will be able to select individual background images from a media library provided by Apple. According to the current code, these should also be dynamic. Please note: The functions are currently being tested. It remains to be seen whether Apple will ultimately offer the features in the final version of iOS 14. (Photo by hadrian / Bigstockphoto)
