Chevrolet didn't include Apple CarPlay connectivity in any of its models prior to 2016, meaning that your 2015 Equinox cannot support it. However, the Equinox didn't get this feature until 2018, trailing behind other models like the Volt, Camaro, Cruze, Impala, Malibu, and Silverado. The good news is that even though the manufacturer didn't provide CarPlay initially, you can still get it now. Aftermarket head units that work seamlessly with Apple's music and hands-free features are compatible with older model years such as 2000 and are offered by companies like Pioneer, Kenwood, and Alpine. While they may be costly (priced over $500), think of it as an investment in your safety; Apple emphasizes that their user-friendly interface helps keep your focus on the road and can potentially reduce distracted driving incidents.
