Apple CarPlay will soon let you watch videos while parked

techspot.com Daniel Sims 2025-09-17 21:28:00

In a nutshell: For safety reasons, Apple has limited CarPlay to audio-only features until now. With iOS 26, users will be able to stream video as long as the car is parked. App developers may need to issue patches to support the feature, and compatible vehicles have yet to be confirmed. With the iOS 26 update arriving this fall, users can stream videos via AirPlay to the dashboards of parked vehicles. This marks a notable shift from CarPlay's traditional audio-only focus.

How to Protest Safely in the Age of Surveillance

If you insist on using biometric unlocking methods to have faster access to your devices, keep in mind that some phones have an emergency function to disable these types of locks. Hold the wake button and one of the volume buttons simultaneously on an iPhone, for instance, and it will lock itself and require a passcode to unlock rather than FaceID or TouchID, even if they’re enabled. Most devices also let you take photos or record video without unlocking them first, a good way to keep your phone

California’s largest and most-polluted lake, the Salton Sea, is exuding hydrogen sulfide, a noxious gas, at rates that greatly exceed the state’s air quality standards. Alarmingly, a new study finds that California’s air quality monitoring systems may be severely underestimating how much toxic pollution is reaching people living near the lake.
