GM can’t ‘bring back’ Apple CarPlay because it never left
EDITOR BRIEF
GM’s latest software interface for upcoming Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks includes a refreshed look for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The company is not reversing course: it had removed phone mirroring from future EVs, while gas-powered vehicles never lost support.
INSIGHTS
The confusion highlights how fragmented in-car software strategies have become as automakers balance customer expectations with control over data, subscriptions, and navigation. GM appears to be maintaining a split approach, keeping familiar smartphone interfaces in combustion trucks while pushing its own software ecosystem in EVs.
