IMessage for Android App 'Beeper Mini' is Back, Apple ID Sign In Now Required and Phone Numbers Don't WorkĪfter Apple shut down the mechanism that Android app Beeper Mini was using to bring iMessage to Android users, Beeper Mini's developers today said that they have found a way to bring the app back, albeit with some major changes. Google already offers a similar feature on some hotel TVs, allowing guests to stream content from their smartphone via Chromecast.Īpple in June said Holiday Inn owner IHG Hotels & Resorts would be one of the first hotel companies to adopt the feature, while LG announced that it would be one of the first hotel room TV manufacturers to support the feature.Related Roundups: iOS 17, iPadOS 17Tag: AirPlayRelated Forums: iOS 17, iPadOS 17This article, "" first appeared on Discuss this article in our forums The feature will allow iPhone users to scan a QR code on their hotel room TV to establish an AirPlay connection, allowing them to wirelessly stream videos, photos, and music from their iPhone to the TV. However, as Car and Driver notes, Porsche is owned by Volkswagen and Aston Martin has close ties with Mercedes, so next-gen CarPlay should make its way into more affordable cars soon enough.Īpple Delays iOS 17's AirPlay in Hotel Room Feature Until 2024Īpple today updated the iOS 17 page on its website to indicate that its AirPlay feature for hotel room TVs has been delayed until next year.Īpple originally said the feature was "coming later this year," but it now says it will be "coming in an update in 2024." Apple did not provide a more specific timeframe, but it should be added in an iOS 17 update in the first half of next year. Porsche was mum on the models supported by next-gen CarPlay, but the first cars will presumably target the highest end of the market as well. For example, the Porsche interface (seen below) features three gauges above the steering wheel and a “background wallpaper that mimics the brand’s distinct houndstooth (or Pepita in Porsche-speak) seat pattern.” The Aston Martin interface “includes a central information screen bookended by a circular speedometer and tachometer, the latter of which integrates “Handbuilt in Great Britain” wraparound text.”Ĭar and Driver didn’t share much in the way of information about the experience, but says it “requires an iPhone to share app-related information.” However the bulk of the system runs on the vehicle itself, so presumably Android users will be able to buy one, too.Īston Martin says the new system is “compatible with its latest infotainment system that launches in 2024,” including the DB12 coupe and Volante convertible, which start at $250,000. Arriving in vehicles next year, the first cars to feature the new interface will be from Porsche and Aston Martin.Īs reported by Car and Driver, CarPlay will be customized for each of the cars. Just under the wire, Apple announces the first round of next-gen CarPlay carsĪfter promising to unveil the first cars to support its next-gen CarPlay in late 2023, Apple has finally unveiled the first models to feature the all-over infotainment system.
