Apple's iOS 26.4 beta release has tech enthusiasts buzzing with excitement! But here's the twist: hidden within its code is a potential game-changer for CarPlay users. Will you soon be able to watch videos on your CarPlay when parked?
The latest beta version hints at Apple's preparation to introduce video support for CarPlay, a feature that was initially promised but never materialized in iOS 26.0. While the code doesn't explicitly confirm its arrival in iOS 26.4, it strongly suggests that Apple is gearing up for this addition.
Last year, Apple teased various new CarPlay features, including the ability to watch videos when the car is stationary. However, this particular feature has remained elusive. But with the recent beta release, multiple code references to CarPlay video playback have surfaced, sparking speculation about its imminent release.
And this is where it gets interesting: Apple's website indicates that enabling this feature might require automaker participation. It suggests that automakers need to integrate CarPlay with AirPlay video to make this functionality available in their vehicles. So, when iOS 26.4 officially launches, some CarPlay-equipped cars may offer video playback, while others might not.
As we eagerly await further developments in the iOS 26.4 beta cycle, the question remains: Is in-car video playback a feature you've been longing for? Share your thoughts in the comments, and let's discuss the potential impact of this controversial addition to CarPlay!
