The interior of the Hyundai Ioniq 6. | Photo by Patrick George for The Verge Hyundai, a company that has been just as guilty in the past of spreading the touchscreen scourge in cars as any other, has been course-correcting lately, putting more buttons and knobs into its cars. The reason isn’t surprising: people hate touchscreens, at least for certain essential controls like HVAC systems, and they told Hyundai so. “As we were adding integrated [infotainment] screens in our vehicles, we also tried putting touchscreen-based controls, and people didn’t prefer that,” Hyundai Design North America VP Ha Hak-soo told Korea JoongAng Daily in an interview that InsideEVs spotted. He said Hyundai, which was as infatuated with touchscreens as the rest of the industry at first, found that in focus group testing people got... Continue reading…

Image: Sony Sony is cutting the price of the “slim” PS5 digital edition by $70, making it more affordable for the holiday season. Typically, that PS5 model costs $449.99, but it will start at $379.99 through December 24th, according to a new ad. This holiday deal brings the slim PS5 digital edition just under the original $399.99 price of the launch version of the PS5 digital console. The footnote at the end of the ad specifies that this price is only for the disc-free console, so it seems like the model with a disc drive already attached will still start at $499.99. But the holiday pricing also means that by buying a digital PS5 slim and one of Sony’s separate $79.99 PS5 disc drives, you can make your own PS5 with a disc drive and save about $40. A...

CarPlay just got even more useful, as one of my favorite Apple apps has been added. Starting today, CarPlay users can take advantage of Apple Music Classical, Apple's music streaming service for classical songs. According to the app's release notes, this update adds "support for CarPlay and Siri, plus stability and performance enhancements." This is the first major expansion since Apple added support for Android on May 30. Apple Music Classical is a service based on Primephonic, a classical music streaming service the company bought in 2021. After two years of development, the company released its own version of the app, which has a similar look to Apple Music but with new tweaks and a focus on this specific genre of music. With it, you can access the world’s largest classical music catalog. Search by composer, work, conductor, and more to quickly find any recording. Explore composers, periods, instruments, and more through curated playlists and composer biographies. Get detailed information about what you are listening to. Image source: Apple Inc. The service has the largest classical library with over 100 million songs and the world’s largest catalog of classical music — more than 5 million tracks and 1.2 million recordings. It features: 20K+ composers; 115K+ unique classical workers listed; 350+ movements available. It is available in Lossless and Hi-Res Lossless up to 24 bits. Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos is also supported. That said, CarPlay users can also take advantage of songs in Spatial Audio, thanks to the iOS 18 update. The latest version brought these three new features: Spatial Audio: Drivers can now listen to Spatial Audio songs and albums available in Apple Music and third-party apps while connected to CarPlay. Vehicles with multichannel audio capabilities can enable an immersive sound experience. Spatial Audio with support for Dolby Atmos can also be implemented in compatible vehicles. Announced Notifications support: Announce Notifications can read aloud your notification summaries when using AirPods or CarPlay. Accessibility: Color Filters, Bold Text, Voice Control, and Sound Recognition accessibility settings are now available in CarPlay in IOS 18, providing a consistent experience between the iPhone and the vehicle. Apple Music Classical is available as part of an active Apple Music subscription, whether it's a standalone subscription or part of Apple One.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Tuesday he does not expect President-elect Donald Trump to tap into the chamber further to fill positions in the next administration.
