Apple did break with its tradition of not showing its hand about future technology when it presented a new car dashboard the company said would be able to display data from major instruments such as speed, fuel levels and gas mileage. The company also previewed an app called Freeform, which will act as a virtual whiteboard that multiple users can tap to share ideas during video meetings over Apples FaceTime service.
