Recent reports claiming that General Motors is reversing course on its plans to ditch CarPlay in future EVs appear to be incorrect. As noted by Joanna Stern, host of the YouTube channel New Things, a GM spokesperson confirmed that its new software interface showing CarPlay or Android Auto alongside its native system in 2027 models of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra is specific to the gas-powered versions of those pickup trucks.

GM previously stated that CarPlay and Android Auto would continue in its new gas-powered vehicles for the "foreseeable future," so the 2027 models still supporting those platforms is not a change of course.

There is one more wrinkle: GM's all-electric 2027 Cadillac LYRIQ still supports CarPlay and Android Auto. It is unclear if the Lyriq will always be an exception or if it will simply be one of GM's final EVs to ever support phone mirroring systems. Overall, though, GM continues to insist that its future EVs will not offer CarPlay.

All in all, GM really wants you to know that it is committed to ditching the extremely popular feature that you probably want in your next EV.
