Rivian has announced that its upcoming software update will introduce an app designed to enhance compatibility with Apple’s iPhone Duo feature, allowing users to unlock and control certain vehicle functions directly from their smartphones. The integration aims to streamline access to key vehicle operations, including climate control and media playback, by leveraging the iPhone’s built-in Ultra Wideband chip for secure, hands-free interaction. This move follows Apple’s recent expansion of iPhone Duo support to a broader range of automotive partners, positioning Rivian as one of the latest adopters. Owners of Rivian’s electric vehicles can expect the new functionality to arrive with the next major software release, offering a more seamless and connected driving experience.
