“Drivers warned of”
What does that mean? It all seems anecdotal at best.
What is the warning? We have never experienced anything like this with our family, multiple phones, multiple vehicles, multiple manufacturers, wireless and wired. So your warning is just as anecdotal as my rebuttal.
“The bug is simple”
Is it? Did you find the details, or the root cause? Did you send the “simple” details to Apple?
Is iMore just quoting other sites now?
Usually when connected to CarPlay the phone and the car share GPS information - so it’s likely the bug is with the infotainment system since disconnecting the phone corrects it.
I am wondering if all of the listed vehicles on the 9to5mac article share similar underlying code for that part of the infotainment…
I don’t think they all use the same OS, but it’s possible that there is a common infotainment or GPS code base or library in use there.
