What if the long-rumored Apple car turns out to be an Apple truck?
Foxconn, the company that produces the iPhone and iPad for Apple, has unveiled an electric pickup truck it plans to build in the U.S.
The tech contract manufacturer owns a factory in Lordstown, Ohio, where it plans to build a series of electric vehicles for itself and other companies that want to license the platform.
Full details on the pickup have not been announced, but it is a midsize truck, similar to the Chevrolet Canyon or electric Rivian R1T, with seating for five.

As expected from a tablet maker, the Model V has a digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment system with just a single control knob on the center console.

It's also equipped with side-view cameras that display their images on the screen in front of the driver instead of mirrors. This technology is not yet allowed by law in the U.S., but it has been approved for use in other countries.
