Jiří Filip Not all the new features will be available immediately in all cars, but it is still one of the biggest updates CarPlay in recent years.
Videos directly on the car display
Perhaps the biggest news is video playback support. Applications can now offer video browsing and playback directly on the car display. Of course, only when the car is stationary. As soon as you put the car in gear and start driving, the video will automatically turn off for safety reasons and only the audio will continue. If the application supports AirPlay, it will be possible to easily transfer content from the iPhone to the infotainment system. However, it is necessary to take into account that the support must be activated by the car manufacturers themselves. So far, no manufacturer has announced when it will be available.

Smarter navigation for electric cars
This great news will be appreciated especially by owners of electric cars. Navigation applications such as Apple Maps or Google Maps, will now be able to share planned route data directly with the car. The car can then compare the route length with the battery status and automatically recommend a suitable charging stop if necessary.
More reliable wireless connection
Apple also worked on the technical foundations of the system. Wireless CarPlay should be in iOS 27 more stable and offer more accurate positioning using GPS and better recognition of the direction of travel, which will have a positive effect especially when navigating in cities.

More natural route search
Improvements have also been made Apple Maps. Siri now understands commonly formulated requests better. Instead of precise commands, it will be possible to say things like "find a route without motorways", "avoid toll roads" or "guide me along the fastest route" and CarPlay understands the request correctly.
Not all news will reach all users immediately after release iOS 27. Some features will depend on car manufacturers' support or the compatibility of a specific iPhone. But it is already clear that Apple continues to expand possibilities CarPlay and gradually making it a much smarter and more capable component of modern cars.
