Another observation on CarPlay, not sure of others, but on mine, it connects way faster when the phone remains on the driver side. If I put it on the passenger seat, it previously never used to connect, but now it does - albeit after a couple of minutes , and with no intervention from my part. wonder if others have seen a (similar) pattern to this? Not sure if the WiFi Hotspot antenna is closer to the driver side? (It shouldn't be so picky and directional, but who knows!)
I just noticed it and I agree it is a nice touch.

I tested iPhone 11 pro connecting to CarPlay from both drivers side and passenger side without any issues. I used to lose connection constantly with iPhone X if my hands were covering it the wrong way or if I left it in my jeans pocket.
