Apple’s new software for iPhones will soon allow you to text your car key to a friend or spouse.
How?
By making car keys digital.
The new digital car key works with CarPlay, Apple’s software for in-car digital experiences, and iOS 14, the companies’ upcoming mobile operating system. And it plays on the fact that, thanks to wireless remotes and security fobs, most car keys are “big, bulky, and ripe for re-imaging,” as Apple senior VP Craig Federighi said today.
