With iOS 27<\/a>, Apple is introducing several CarPlay<\/a> 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<\/a> AI, there are multiple new options to look forward to.<\/p>\n

\"8<\/p>\n

Video Apps<\/p>\n

\u200cCarPlay\u200c 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.<\/p>\n

iPhone apps that support AirPlay<\/a> can also stream content to the car’s display.<\/p>\n

Video apps require car manufacturers to enable support on the vehicle, and no automakers have announced plans to add support as of now.<\/p>\n

Siri AI<\/p>\n

Apple’s smarter, more capable version of \u200cSiri\u200c can be used in the car for hands-free conversations. \u200cSiri\u200c AI for \u200cCarPlay\u200c works like \u200cSiri\u200c AI on other devices, so you can ask it to complete tasks or find information for you while you drive.<\/p>\n

Conversations in \u200cCarPlay\u200c sync to the \u200cSiri\u200c app on iPhone so you can pick them up later.<\/p>\n

Audio<\/p>\n

There is a persistent mini-player for the Now Playing \u200cCarPlay\u200c template. The player shows artwork and playback controls in the top right corner of audio and media apps.<\/p>\n

The Now Playing interface in \u200cCarPlay\u200c also has a progress bar, so you can jump to a specific spot in a song, podcast, or audiobook.<\/p>\n

Wallpapers<\/p>\n

\u200cCarPlay\u200c includes the new \u200ciOS 27\u200c wallpapers, formatted for the \u200cCarPlay\u200c interface. The wallpapers have wave-style designs in a range of colors, with 14 total wallpaper options available.<\/p>\n

\u200cCarPlay\u200c in \u200ciOS 27\u200c also supports larger, more interactive content thumbnails and it incorporates the updated Liquid Glass icons for apps like Maps and Weather.<\/p>\n

Route Data<\/p>\n

Navigation apps like Apple Maps<\/a> and Google Maps can share route data with a vehicle for incorporating information like EV charging stops. The car is able to check a map route against the range of the vehicle, and suggest a charging stop.<\/p>\n

Reliability and Location Accuracy<\/p>\n

Apple says that wireless \u200cCarPlay\u200c is more reliable in \u200ciOS 27\u200c, plus it supports improved GPS location accuracy and navigation heading detection.<\/p>\n

Voice Control<\/p>\n

All app categories are also now able to offer a voice control option, and Apple has designed a voice control template that can be integrated into apps for voice conversations.<\/p>\n

Natural Language Improvements<\/p>\n

In Apple Maps<\/a>, Apple extended natural language search to navigation, and that also works with \u200cCarPlay\u200c. You can ask \u200cSiri\u200c for directions that avoid toll roads, highways, and more.<\/p>\n

Compatibility<\/p>\n

Using the new \u200cCarPlay\u200c features in \u200ciOS 27\u200c requires a connected iPhone with \u200ciOS 27\u200c installed. For \u200cSiri\u200c AI, you’ll need an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence<\/a>, which includes the iPhone 15 Pro and later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With iOS 27, Apple is introducing several CarPlay features that will improve your in-car experience, both when you’re…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":924358,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[17],"tags":[41847,1322,54165,611,158,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-924357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-carplay","tag-featured","tag-ios-27","tag-mobile","tag-technology","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116892925334454958","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/924357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=924357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/924357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/924358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=924357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=924357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=924357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
