Apple is introducing video playback functionality to CarPlay with the upcoming iOS 26 update. This long-awaited feature will allow users to stream video content from their iPhones to their CarPlay displays, but only when the vehicle is stationary. This marks a significant shift for Apple, which has previously restricted video playback on CarPlay. The new ‘video in the car’ feature utilizes AirPlay, enabling users to mirror content from apps like Apple TV. Developers and automakers need to integrate support for the new functionality through the MFi Program.
