iOS 27 adds video support to CarPlay for newer iPhones
Apple is set to release iOS 27 with new CarPlay features including video playback, available only on specific iPhone models.
New video options arrive
The upcoming update allows drivers to watch videos on their vehicle display while parked. Playback automatically switches to audio-only if the car starts moving again. This change expands entertainment beyond audio services like Apple Music and Spotify.
Hardware requirements apply
Users with iPhones less than three years old may qualify for these upgrades. Older devices or unsupported models cannot access the new video functionality. Manufacturers must also implement specific changes to support the feature.
Other improvements included
The update brings a progress bar and persistent mini-player to the Now Playing screen. Navigation apps can now share route data directly with the car system. Siri AI integration is also coming inside the vehicle interface.
