Users can use Apple Pay Later when they are checking out with Apple Pay, or in Wallet. Additionally, due to Apple Pay Order Tracking, users can receive detailed checks and order tracking information in Wallet for Apple Pay purchases. Moreover, users can exploit their ID in Wallet for applications requiring identity and age verification.

By using the vehicle data, CarPlay renders the speed, fuel level, temperature, and more. Additionally, users will be able to choose different gauge cluster designs and have instant review from Weather and Music right on the car’s dashboard.
