Washington, DC Apple wants the iPhone to replace your car keys. On Monday, the tech company announced at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, a new feature that uses the smartphone to unlock and start a car.
While Apple's years-long ambition to build its own vehicle hasn't materialized, its CarPlay infotainment system is available in 97% of new cars, according to the company.Apple is overhauling the iPhone homescreen and upgrading AirPodsAnd it thinks that the humble car key, which on new cars can take the shape of your vehicle, or even feature a screen of its own, can still be improved further.
So now you have to steal someone’s face, fingerprint AND phone to steal their car?
I want my eyephone to replace my car.
cnn Duplicate tweets... Running out of things to tweet about?
Oh heck no!
BMW is already doing that Android phones as well as tesla
No thank you , all this is a gimmick to make you buy a new iPhone, and if will do it Android will be there to.
Lemme guess Car $70,000,000 for the car $50,000 for the keys apple is like the ea for real life stuff
Yea apple will milk us
Phone go-Car go 90% Thanks Apple🚶🍿🚶
What could go wrong?
What happens when your iPhone battery dies ?
I don't want my iPhone controlling my car!
This seems like what Tesla is already doing
Battery down, your journey is over. Hell no. Thanks.
So if the phone is connected to the car I guess the lien holder will know where the vehicle is at all times🤔 ummm..YIKES AND HELL NO! 😂🤣
Q: What could possibly go wrong? A: So. Many. Things.
More control
No they just want more money. They want your phone to replace everything. So what happens if my phone breaks? Now I can't drive my f*cking car? Or someone steals it? They can drive it? Hell no!
MAGA 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Tesla already does this.
The better they can track you control you
No Thank you!
I will help you to monetize your youtube channel.
Does this work on a 79 Cutlass Supreme?
Thanks to Dodge I already have that capability 😜
Suuuure so they can steal my pone get my car run away and all while listening to my iTunes playlist. Brilliant!
No.
Relax people, it’s just going to be an alternative to the car key
Imagine if your phone battery died and then your stuck in the desert. Locked out.
Bro late
Great in case you forget ur keys u can use phone as a backup unless ur dumb enough to forget ur phone and keys like me sometimes
You probably need to fire that Van Jones guy.
🙏
Well my iPhone needs to stop breaking after auto updates before I’d rely on that
Ah urang mah baru tau
FFS, just because Apple says they want to do it doesn't mean its NEW. And what 4 years down the line they discontinue the APP because it has to be 128 bit?
That was cool when Tesla did it a few years ago...
hard pass eff apple
great way for hackers to gain access to cars ?
Can’t wait to use it on my ‘81 Datsun 280zx. applestrong
JcsCommentary THE FUCK?
Brilliant so the next time my phone gets stolen they can steal my car too. I can really make my bad days even worse with this snazzy new feature
OH that helps, Phone battery is dead, I can't get in to charge it to get in. Oh shit my phone fell into the water, I guess we're camping for the night.
I have that already. I have an app on my phone that I can control almost my entire car from. What’s the difference?
Ain't no way. I like a mechanical key, only ONE failure point, instead of mechanism, device, app, code, etc.. Hell No
So if you forget the unlock pattern on your phone, neither can you unlock your car nor can you drive down to the nearest Apple store to fix it. Nice :)
tempting but no thanks. my phone does enough as is. U_U
“Hi can you help me charge my phone, I need to to get in my car and my phone charger is in my car which I cannot open without my phone”
Twitter for android be like
LiveLife LoveLife BhagvadGita
No.
Lol how about no. I don't have an iPhone any way I'm not a beta male
Technologically advancement
What could go wrong?
If you lose your phone, you're F%k-ed.
Screw that I misplace my phone more than my keys
I’m shook💀
Did they name it, 'Hacker's Delight'?
Fuck Apple.
And when apple is hacked will they be replacing all the stolen cars?
Sounds great!
Then the phone thieves won't have to walk home?

I have an Audi. All I have to do is touch the door handle to open it, then press the start button. Key fob stays in my bag or pocket, as does my phone! The 'Myaudi' app allows for remote locking and unlocking and a ton of other useful tools . Little late to the show, Apple!
Hard NO
Apple sucks. Keys matter
blhack
That was massively hurt the locksmith business since so many people lock their keys out of their car if it ain't broke don't fix it I say
What if your battery died in your iPhone You can’t get home.
What will stop somebody else with an iPhone from unlocking your car? The bad guys will figure it out!!
I’m not sure this is going to work. If it works, then I’m all in. BUT you’ll have to come to my hometown of Pomona and test my car to see if it’s possible. Does it unlock all four doors? Apple IPhone
Apple wants the car keys to replace your iPhone. Sorry, what CNN say is always 189 the truthm CNNFakeNews
Plenty of new vehicles have a similar feature. So I don’t see this as difficult to achieve en masse but either the vehicle needs to have an onboard feature (in case of phone loss/dmg) or come with a key/fob back up.
If you lose your phone, use a key! Then use find my iPhone to erase the device and mark it as lost. No one is going to replace your phone that YOU lost for free. Let’s be honest the phone isn’t going to fully replace the key.
Apple Nope!! No need! I have no problems using my key. Thank you.
Not so much to make your life any easier, it’s obviously a ploy to gain market since you would then need their phone to open your car.
What if my phone dies
So now I’ve misplaced my phone AND my keys?!?!
So I lose my phone and ride in one step? No thanks.
And if you ran out of battery then what
Cool, the information to open my car will be available on a server. Governments will be pleased.
No! Enough already! We can’t keep putting all of our eggs in one basket!
Too bad iPhone...I am blind so I have no car keys. Maybe the iPhone can replace my eyes. Ha
Yeah, no thank you.
🤷♀️)
Yes please !
Great. Zero battery = game over.
Its not secure. How can you give your car on vallet parking?. With your phone? Will you give your apple phone to your driver.
Why you have one tool for everything, it’s no longer a tool. Instead, you become the tool.
Lmao. Verizon would cut my sh*t off in the middle of a highway. I’d be stuck on the highway because I forgot to pay my phone bill. Miss me with that.
Wat if ur phone gets Missing.... Any alternative
Tesla already does this. It’s fine. The comments are a 🗑 🔥
What if you lose your phone? If you lose your keys, you have a spare. But no one has a spare phone
I’m torn. On one hand, awesome and convenient. On the other hand, am I doubly screwed when I inevitably break or lose the phone?
Just another thing that can be hacked. F that idea
No thanks
Wow
