Apple launches Car Keys Tests applications to help MFi developers test Car Key functionality

CTOnews.com, February 21 (Xinhua)-- Apple recently launched an app called "Car Keys Tests" on App Store, which is aimed at certified MFi developers to help them test on cars that support Apple's Car Key features.

Apple launched the Car Key feature in 2020, but not many cars fit it so far. AppleInsider, a foreign technology media, believes that Apple hopes to improve various testing functions through this new app and help more models adapt to this function.

With the Car Key function, users only need to put the iPhone close to the car's doorknob to use the NFC function to unlock the car, after entering the car, put the phone into the NFC reading area or wireless charging seat to start the car, if you use a later model of iPhone11, due to the existence of the U1 chip, you do not even need to pull out the phone to complete the above operation.

CTOnews.com translates the App Store application description as follows:

This App is only available to MFi Licensees users. MFi Licensees users use Car Keys Tests to test and verify connectivity, performance, and other key requirements needed to develop Apple's digital car key technology.
