Apple is working on a whole new audio system for the Apple Car that could make it an audiophile’s dream. The company has filed five new patent applications that are all about audio in the car. One of the applications is about the speakers in the headrests, which would allow the occupant to still enjoy audio even when they move their head or lean out of the car window. Another application is about the speakers in the car doors, which will be able to adjust the sound depending on if the door is open or closed.
The car system will also include Handoff and SharePlay features, which will allow passengers to transfer their audio from their iPhones to the car. To make sure everyone enjoys the audio, the car system will also be able to adjust the balance between the driver and passengers. Lastly, the audio system will also be able to adjust the sound depending on the orientation of the seats in the car, which could be a hint about the seat arrangements in the Apple Car.
Overall, it looks like the Apple Car will have an audio system that is unparalleled, which will make it an audiophile’s dream. Written by Apple Historian & Senior Editor William Gallagher.
