Apple is reportedly working to integrate third-party AI chatbots, including those from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, into its CarPlay system, potentially allowing users to access these services via voice control. This development, as reported by The Verge, could provide CarPlay users with alternatives to Siri for voice-activated tasks.
According to The Verge, the rumored update would open the door for voice-controlled third-party AI apps. Previously, users who wanted to access third-party chatbots in the car needed to go through their iPhone.
In other tech news, The Verge also reported on deals for Apple's AirPods. Discounts are available on various models, including the AirPods Max and AirPods 4 (with and without ANC). The entry-level AirPods are available for around $100, according to the report.
