The MacVoices Live! panel explores some of the useful new macOS Golden Gate features, including AI-assisted Shortcuts and improved iPhone Mirroring. They debate the emerging iPhone Duo and foldable-phone market and why one would prefer to give the new foldable a try. The value of AppleCare’s new family coverage plan is also reviewed for with households with many devices, and as an option for an individual. T-Mobile’s fee for iPhone Handoff, and GM’s decision to retain CarPlay in gas-powered vehicles wrap up this session.
O novo sistema permitirá que os motoristas usem o CarPlay ou o Android Auto (do Google) em uma tela dividida que também exibe indicadores importantes do veículo, como nível de combustível, pressão dos pneus, status do sistema de condução, entre outras informações. Além disso, o sistema permite ao motorista utilizar funções do veículo e aplicativos do celular com menos alternância entre telas.
A nova interface estreará no final deste ano inicialmente nas picapes Chevrolet Silverado e GMC Sierra (modelo 2027), sendo que a GM planeja implementar o novo sistema em modelos futuros.
A GM desenvolveu sua própria tecnologia de infoentretenimento como parte de um sistema de software veicular totalmente integrado, se afastando de conexões de projeção de smartphones. No entanto, a nova interface foi desenvolvida em conjunto com a Apple e o Google, demonstrando o interesse contínuo nesses sistemas.
Ouvimos nossos clientes e o que eles desejam; daqui para frente, continuaremos oferecendo a projeção em nossas picapes. Trabalhamos tanto com a Apple quanto com o Google para desenvolver uma nova tela dividida que inclui a experiência de projeção lado a lado com a experiência nativa.
—Michael Wahlstrom, diretor executivo de gestão de produtos para aplicativos e serviços conectados da GM.
A GM ainda não informou se disponibilizará o CarPlay em seus veículos elétricos, que passaram a utilizar o sistema próprio da empresa — o qual já conta com integrações nativas de alguns serviços da Apple. No final do ano passado, a GM fechou um acordo para levar o Apple Music a veículos elétricos que não conseguiam se conectar ao CarPlay.
General Motors has capitulated on its hard line against phone projection, bringing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into a new truck user interface after years of pushing customers toward its own software, according to Bloomberg News‘ David Welch.
The automaker will introduce the system later this year on the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500. Rather than letting CarPlay or Android Auto occupy the entire screen, GM is placing the phone interface in a large window alongside native functions such as trailering data, tire pressure, fuel information, and Super Cruise.
The design is a retreat from GM’s 2023 decision to drop CarPlay and Android Auto from electric vehicles, a move that drew backlash from buyers who wanted their familiar phone apps on the dashboard. Gas-powered trucks had kept the features, and the new interface is meant to end the either-or choice between Apple or Google and GM’s own system.
GM product officials have described the split view as the “sweet spot,” allowing drivers to use phone apps without losing truck-specific tools. Tapping the phone icon opens CarPlay or Android Auto in the large pane; the home control returns the native layout.
The software also adds updated graphics, animated transitions, and simplified layouts for towing and off-roading on large displays, including a 16.3-inch touchscreen. GM plans to start with its highest-volume pickups before spreading the interface more widely.
MacDailyNews Take: Shocker.
General Motors is blowing it by barring the widely-used Apple CarPlay (and Google’s derivative Android Auto) that allow drivers to bypass vehicle’s infotainment systems, shifting instead to an built-in infotainment system, Google Automotive, for future electric vehicles.
For us, and many, many others, General Motors simply moves even further out of consideration for future purchases (GM never really was in consideration anyway).

Is CarPlay really a key factor in car buyers choices? At least one statistic supports that position, raising questions about automakers ignoring customer preferences. The panel also examines Gmail’s upcoming changes, Apple’s evolving iPhone purchasing strategy, and a troubling article about advertising and tracking on computer monitors and smart displays.
Samsung SDI is taking full control of its Indiana battery plant. The South Korean cell maker is buying out General Motors’ 49.99% stake in their joint venture, according to a regulatory filing, ending GM’s ownership in the $3.5 billion factory.
That turns the New Carlisle, Indiana plant into Samsung SDI’s first wholly owned battery factory in North America.
On today’s super simple episode of Quick Charge, we talk about GM’s new Energy Pass, SpaceX’s big bet on fossil fuels, and Tesla’s long-promised Roadster set to arrive “real soon.” Again. For what is nearly the tenth year in a row.
In the “Why don’t they sell that over here?” and “Why can’t we have nice things?” columns this morning, GM has announced range and pricing for its gorgeous new Electra L7 sedan in China, and it is a screaming deal.

GM thinks its newest Starlight L PHEV SUV could be China’s best value hybrid, offering 260 km (~160 miles) of all-electric range, spacious six-passenger seating, and a modern technology package at an affordable price. And it’s exactly the kind of vehicle that the company could try to rebadge for North America
GMC is marking 25 years of the Hummer nameplate with the Hummer EV ICON | 25, a limited-run edition of its all-electric supertruck that revives the yellow paint of the original H2.
The tribute arrives at an awkward moment: Hummer EV sales fell nearly 55% in the first half of 2026 as demand for pricey electric trucks cooled.
General Motors has expanded its partnership with Redwood Materials to cover every stage of the battery lifecycle — manufacturing scrap recovery, end-of-life recycling, and now second-life energy storage deployed at a GM factory. It’s the first automaker to hit all three with JB Straubel’s company.
The latest piece is a 1.5 MW / 7.2 MWh energy storage system built from roughly 100 repurposed GM battery packs, set to be installed at a GM manufacturing plant in Michigan. Redwood says the system will save the plant more than $3 million in electricity costs over its lifetime.
