Today Apple released an update to its iOS system that introduces CarPlay, fixes bugs, and improves performance for iPhone 4 users. Apple CarPlay for iPhones is available with select 2014 model automobiles and interacts with a car’s built-in display, making it easier and safer to take calls while driving, get directions, and play music from iTunes. You can also read, write and send text messages using Siri to translate what you dictate on the road. Some of the other updated features include improved Siri interaction, Apple Touch ID, and Apple has addressed bugs such as the annoying Home screen crash.
