“The short answer is no,” Ola Källenius told The Verge’s Nilay Patel in response to a question about whether Mercedes-Benz will enable Apple CarPlay to take over all the screens inside its vehicles. Instead, he touts the need for a “holistic software architecture” to meet the needs of customers who are increasingly looking for a better technology experience from their vehicles.
If you use only Apple products, and intend to do so in the years ahead, then iCloud Keychain is quite a tempting service. It features good security, lives on the operating system of your devices, and seamlessly integrates with how you use your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
If you work on the go a lot, the Journey Nexa is a fantastic protective laptop sleeve for your MacBook–provided you are willing to pay its price. The workmanship is outstanding, and there are two integrated wireless chargers for the iPhone and AirPods. A matching USB-C cable is included, but the case has no additional storage space for it or any other accessories.

What are we waiting for? Let’s emulate all the things. The more Apple can do to make this a reality, the better.
Epic Games is already working to release an iPhone version of Fortnite in the EU, with the game set to be available from the forthcoming Epic Games Store, an alternative app marketplace. The iPhone version of Fortnite is coming "soon," and an iPad version will follow "this year."

Is Apple going to announce something big with the iPad next week? It sort of make sense, doesn't it, given that the company didn't bring out any new iPads over the past year and a half, so it must be doing something really big, eh?
To avoid disappointment, I will suggest we lower our expectations. It may just be a regular delay. Or maybe, like how it moved engineers from Mac OS X to iOS that last time, have to prioritize shipping the Vision Pro computer over iPad Pro tablets.
