iOS 27: 8+ New CarPlay Features
Apple's iOS 27 update introduces several new features for CarPlay, including video browsing while parked, AI-powered Siri integration, and improved navigation data sharing. These updates aim to enhance both the utility and entertainment experience for drivers and passengers.
Why it matters
As vehicles become increasingly digitized, Apple's software updates significantly influence the standard for in-car user interfaces and connectivity.
With iOS 27 , Apple is introducing several CarPlay features that will improve your in-car experience, both when you're driving and when you're idle in the car. From new video experiences to Siri AI, there are multiple new options to look forward to.
CarPlay apps can incorporate video browsing capabilities, so you can browse for and watch videos on your in-car display while parked. The video playback feature does not work when a car is in motion for safety reasons, but if you're watching something and shift into drive, playback will switch to audio only.
iPhone apps that support AirPlay can also stream content to the car's display.
Video apps require car manufacturers to enable support on the vehicle, and no automakers have announced plans to add support as of now.
