Apple CarPlay is getting a lot more customisable with new update
Open gallery Close Apple CarPlay is to receive a major update aimed at increasing usability and introducing more customisation options. Arriving as part of a IOS 26 - previewed on Monday night and pencilled to launch in the autumn – the main focus has been to keep key information, like maps, more visible. As part of this, incoming phone call notifications will no longer take up the whole infotainment display or cover mapping directions, instead displayed in a more compact view. Alongside this, messages will be less distracting, says Apple, popping up as a small notifications at the bottom of the screen. Users will now also be able to respond to them with Tapbacks and pin contacts. Apple has also given CarPlay a new design, mirroring the more curved-edges look of the upcoming IOS 26 system. What's more, the update brings widget customisation (so the home screen can be designed by the user) and Live Activities (such as flight tracking) so 'users can stay in the loop without losing focus on the road', says Apple. The new changes will also apply to the next generation CarPlay Ultra. First to be used by Aston Martin models, this runs across the driver's display as well as the infotainment, bringing additional customisation options while also being able to control various in-car functions.

The Ultimate Guide to Tailored Villa Experiences
Tailored villa experiences are exceptional because they offer customisability, privacy and affordability. But, you have to find the perfect one for you to realise these benefits. In recent times, travel is no longer mere sightseeing – it has evolved into a fully immersive personal experience. As part of this new wave, we have seen the rise in tailored villa stays. Cookie-cutter hotel rooms are no longer desirable. Modern travellers want a home away from home where accommodation complements their moods and aspirations for their travels. What Makes Tailored Villa Experiences Special? One thing we can all agree on is that tailored villas are exactly what you need when it comes to luxury travel. So, let's discover luxury villas with Villanovo and delve into what makes this type of accommodation special. The primary factor that makes tailored villas special is right there in its definition: tailored. This type of accommodation allows you the room to personalise every little detail of your stay. Everything from simple aspects like pillows and bedsheets to more elaborate luxuries like on-demand services (such as a private chef, yoga instructor and mixologist). Customisability helps make every moment feel intentional and made just for you. It is the primary ingredient for creating tailored experiences on your travels. In addition to personalisation, tailored villa stays are also private. They are typically standalone properties and not part of crowded buildings. So, no shared hallways, lobbies and elevators with complete strangers. These levels of privacy also mean you will have exclusive access to amenities such as pools and kitchens. You get to decide who can come in for as long as you are there. Choosing the Perfect Tailored Villa Experience for You Choosing the right personalised villa stay goes beyond finding an ideal location. Of course, you have to ensure your vacation home is close to the areas you want to explore. But what other factors should you keep in mind to find the perfect accommodation? Analyse Your Priorities The first step towards finding the perfect tailored villa experience is getting your priorities right. Ask yourself: what is the purpose of my travels? Is it for romance, family bonding or wellness adventure? Knowing your priorities helps you narrow down villa types and amenities to options that suit your stay. For example, if it is a family bonding trip, you might need a larger space to accommodate everyone. Similarly, if you are going on a wellness adventure, you ideally want villas that offer serene surroundings and in-house spa or yoga decks. So, take a minute to analyse your priorities before you start browsing potential accommodations. Set a Realistic Budget Although tailored villas are generally affordable (since you can choose what services to have), it is still essential to set a budget. However, the keyword is realistic. You need to find a perfect balance between what you can afford to spend (without straining your finances) and the kind of experience you are hoping to have. Having a realistic budget allows you to filter villas that offer the best value for your money. Read Reviews from Previous Clients Reviews from previous clients are like a window to the future. They give you a glimpse into how your stay might be. Look for mentions of how well others have had their customised stays at the location. It goes without mentioning, but if there are many negative reviews, it is probably best to avoid the villa altogether. Conclusion Tailored villa experiences are exceptional because they offer customisability, privacy and affordability. But, you have to find the perfect one for you to realise these benefits. So, make sure you understand your priorities, have a realistic budget and read reviews before making a decision. That will help you narrow down your search and find something that complements your travel aspirations.
