It seems that we're getting a lot of different answers from a lot of different dealerships... is it possible that international/Canada models will get an update but US models won't?

Since we’re getting International perspectives, here’s the news from Australia in relation to Lexus and Applecarplay;

But in even better news for Lexus owners, the brand is currently investigating ways to backdate the technology to existing cars, though it is not yet guaranteed.

'That's part of the testing and validation - to determine whether that's possible," says Lexus PR Manager, Nick Raman. "That's being looked at. Part of it is seeing whether it can be backdated."

Yes I saw this, and I'm hopeful that this is the case! This quote came from an article written in August I believe, it has been 5 months, so I'm still wondering if the news of it being a hardware issue and not able to be upgraded is new/recent. I just wrote a fairly lengthy email to Lexus corporate about how many people are hearing different things from various dealerships, so hopefully they can provide some insight into this and get everyone on the same page!

I'll post the response they give me once it's received.

I’m hoping Skyshadow will jump back in here with more details. He was adamant it was happening.

A lot of conflicting info on the CarPlay retro update for 2018 to 2019 models. You seemed pretty certain it was happening. Is that still the case?

Yup, I'm not getting second hand info or hear say. 2019-2018 NX models will get it. This is not an official statement currently with Lexus but internally, it's known.
