Key Points:
- Apple is set to launch a major update for CarPlay with iOS 26.4, introducing AI features and a new video function that allows users to watch TV shows and movies in their cars.
- The video feature enables users to cast videos from their iPhones to the car’s central screen via AirPlay, and a dedicated Apple TV app will also be available for direct streaming access.
- Video playback through CarPlay is restricted to when the vehicle is parked, making it particularly useful for EV owners during charging stops.
- The update includes AI chatbots powered by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, which will function within their own apps but will not control vehicle functions like Siri.
