I Tried CarPlay Ultra with an Aston Martin Exec

Inside the Ecosystem

Show Notes

I got to try the all-new CarPlay Ultra with Fabrice Esteve, Project Lead for Infotainment at Apple—and it completely changes what driving with CarPlay feels like. From the stunning full-dashboard interface to the smart integration with your car’s native features, this is Apple’s most ambitious in-car experience yet. In this video, I take you inside the car to show you exactly how it works, what surprised me, and what it means for the future of driving with Apple.

Today on Inside the Ecosystem, I’m joined by Marcos Küppers, whose iPhone helped save his life after he got stuck in the mountains and had to rely on Emergency SOS via satellite. It’s one of those stories that sounds impossible until you realize this technology is already sitting in your pocket. We talk about what happened, the moment he realized he needed help, how the iPhone connected him to emergency services without normal signal, and what it feels like to be alive because of a feature most people hope they never have to use. This is a story about Apple, survival, and how technology can quietly become life-changing when it matters most.

Today on Inside the Ecosystem, I sit down with Andrés Bou and Horacio Martos, the founders of Socialpoint and Labhouse, to talk about what it really takes to build apps on Apple’s platform for more than 15 years. They started Socialpoint in 2008, just months after the App Store launched, grew it to over 1 billion downloads, and sold it to Take-Two Interactive for around $250 million. Now, with Labhouse, they’re betting on the next era of iPhone apps: AI-powered tools like Invoice Fly, Summary AI, Cleaner GO, and Super AI Chat that turn your phone into a command center for productivity and small businesses. We talk about the early days of the App Store, building global apps from Barcelona, selling a company, the future of AI on iPhone, what Apple’s WWDC 2026 announcements mean for developers, and why the next generation of apps could look completely different.
