I've done both (I'm on Android, wife is iPhone). Carplay's layout for a home screen is a bit better (shows you 6 or 8 apps to choose from) whereas Android has 5 buttons across the bottom that have apps grouped by what they do (maps, music, etc). Carplay recognizes the phone faster, but no google maps (Android Auto has gmaps). Overall both are nice and do what you want. I know Carplay is wireless now, but not on this head unit, still gotta plug in. The charging rate is only 1.6a, so my phone barely charges if playing music and barely discharges if using gmaps. I'm thinking about cutting open the usb cables and running power to it from a 12v car adapter to get fast charging.
