"My BMW" ap.... is it ever coming to USA?

I keep reading what the new features are, but, I don't see it available in Apple's Ap Store...

"My Connected" kinda sucks......and glitchy too.

They shipped it on a boat from Germany, we're expecting the ship to dock any day now.

What’s different about this compared to the BMW Connected app already available for iOS?

speaking as a 45e owner, the MyBMW app shows more charging details than the Connected app, which only shows a few charging specs, the electric battery's capacity, but not the fuel tank's capacity.

Do you need the myBMW app to get an Apple iPhone to act as a key? I see videos that show you need it to do the pairing.

currently in the USA, using an iPhone as a digital key is done through the Connected app, which adds the digital key to the Wallet app. both the vehicle and iPhone have to be compatible.

adding the digital key to the Wallet is also done through the new MyBMW app and still requires a compatible vehicle and iPhone.

I have two BMW's and the 2013 on My Connected, sucks! Even BMW Connected says it's glitchy....But offer no assistance.

I was hoping the new app will be better.

It lets you add a picture of yourself as your profile picture that'll show up whenever your key is in proximity of the vehicle on the welcome screen of idrive, instead of one of the preset avatars they have.

How are people in the US getting this app? It’s not in the Apple store.

I don't believe anyone in the USA has it as it's not been released here yet (I think I read July?). some of us have seen our EU brethren use and comment on it as well as seen videos and other press releases.

or maybe they're using a jailbroken, international, or non-region specific phone? (If that's even possible with a U.S.-registered vehicle)

I change my App Store to UK, I can register but once you enter a US VIN, it will not work
