What is Apple Carkey?

All of our lives, we have had to stop and fumble around for our keys to try and unlock our car door. It can be frustrating, especially if you are carrying a handful of groceries or a kid. With technology making our lives better with each passing day, no doubt someone finally came up with a more natural way.

You may not be able to find your car keys immediately, but you probably have your phone in your hand or very close. Now you can use your smartphone to unlock your car.

We use our smartphones for everything these days. We have a phone, computer, calculator, navigations system, and camera all in one device. Why not make things simple and allow it to open our car doors as well? You can even use your Apple Watch to unlock your car door using Apple Car Key.

You can add car keys to the following iPhone models if they have iOS 13.6 or later:
iPhone SE (2nd generation)
iPhone 11 Pro
iPhone 11 Pro Max
iPhone 11
iPhone XS
iPhone XS Max
iPhone XR

Taking a road trip with the whole gang is a staple in some families, and it has probably been a while since most family members have seen each other face to face. Before you set off on this adventure, making a checklist is probably one of the most important things to do. At the very top of your list shouldn't be to bring extra underwear or an extra toothbrush; nope, it should be to make sure your vehicle can handle the drive!
