Soumen's key takeaways:
- Previously, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were fighting for navigation, maps, music, text messages and call space inside a car. Now, both are grappling for the keyless entry system. The Android-based keyless entry system is already available in some BMW and Tesla models.
- The digital key will be compatible with iPhone XR, XS, XS Max, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, SE and Watch Series 5. The collaboration with more automotive players and availability on more iPhones and smartwatches will help Apple achieve scale with its digital key.
