Apple has announced it in recent days during an event: yes to videos, but only to the car stopped. However, the times may not be very short
The function waiting for many is about to arrive: Apple will allow you to project on the screen of the car with carplay the Video of the iPhone. In recent days in the Cupertino headquarters, in California, Apple has presented the arrival features on its platforms: obviously novelty for iOS – the iPhone operating system – and for all the others, including Carplay, the interface that allows phones with the apple to “dialogue” with the screens of compatible modern cars. And among other things, the possibility of seeing the videos on the cutting screens of cars with carplay came out, as long as that the car is stopped.
Apple Carplay video by car

Apple has made a wall for years to the idea of seeing videos through Carplay. At the WWDC 2025 event of the past few days, however, there has been the reversal of course: with iOS 26, namely the new operating system for iPhones that will be available from September, Apple Carplay will allow you to transmit videos from the phone screen to the car screen. The two will communicate through Airplay, a transmission standard developed by Apple that can be assimilated to Bluetooth: a “technicality” so that however it is worth underline, since it will be useful to talk about time. Apple, presenting the novelty, generically spoke of the possibility for the customer to “see his favorite videos directly on the display of a car with carplay”, so it is certain that you can transmit those saved in the memory of the iPhone and it is (very) it is likely that it can be done as much with the videos in Streaming of Netflix, YouTube and company. For reasons – intuitive – of safety, like a few days ago Google, Apple explained that the reproduction will only take place when the iPhone detects that the vehicle is stopped and will come promptly interrupted when the march is resumed.
Not very short times

When will it be possible? Not immediately, and in general it will serve a little patience. First of all for the fact that the possibility for those who own an iPhone to see videos on the car screen is subject to the release of iOS 26 (Septemberthe models from iPhone 12 onwards will be compatible), and then because as Apple herself explained it will be up to the individual car manufacturers to integrate the support of the Airplay transmission standard in Carplay, which will move in scattered order. In short: the different passages necessary prefigure a not short wait.
