\"All<\/p>\n

Apple has officially revealed the next big iOS 27 update for CarPlay, and it could make your car feel a lot smarter by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

The software improvements are arriving as part of iOS 27 and bring a mixture of practical upgrades, visual changes, and a few long-awaited features that drivers have been requesting for years.<\/p>\n

While Apple is also pushing ahead with its AI plans, people who use it in their cars have plenty of reasons to get excited too.<\/p>\n

From watching videos while parked to easier audio controls, here\u2019s what\u2019s coming when iOS 27 lands in a few months.<\/p>\n

The biggest CarPlay features arriving with iOS 27<\/p>\n

Apple announced all the features that are on the way with iOS 27, but for cars<\/a>, the headline addition is support for video apps through CarPlay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Before anyone panics, Apple isn\u2019t turning cars into rolling cinemas<\/a>, and video playback will only work when the vehicle is parked, meaning drivers won\u2019t be able to stream content while on the move.<\/p>\n

Another welcome change is audio scrubbing, which finally lets users drag through a song, podcast, or audiobook directly from the CarPlay screen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It sounds simple, but it\u2019s one of those features people use all the time on their phones and have wanted in CarPlay for years.<\/p>\n

Apple is also bringing its upgraded Siri AI experience to CarPlay.<\/p>\n

The company says the assistant will be more conversational and better at understanding context, helping drivers handle messages, navigation, and calls with fewer distractions.<\/p>\n

Navigation itself is getting improvements too, with Apple promising better GPS accuracy and more reliable directions.<\/p>\n

Apple is also giving CarPlay a fresh new look<\/p>\n

Not all the updates are about functionality.<\/p>\n

Apple is refreshing CarPlay\u2019s appearance with new wallpapers and redesigned app icons that match the visual style introduced across iOS 27.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a new mini audio player that can appear inside compatible apps, making it easier to keep track of what\u2019s playing without constantly jumping between screens.<\/p>\n

None of the changes are individually revolutionary, but together they represent one of the most significant CarPlay updates in recent years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the millions of drivers who plug an iPhone into their car every day, iOS 27 could make the experience smoother, smarter, and a lot more enjoyable when it finally pulls up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple has officially revealed the next big iOS 27 update for CarPlay, and it could make your car…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471619,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[342,111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-471618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-mobile","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471618"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471618\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
