iOS 27 is officially here, available now in beta, and it brings a handful of improvements for CarPlay. Here’s everything new for CarPlay in iOS 27.
New Siri AI
Apple’s Siri overhaul is the tentpole addition to iOS 27, and the new ‘Siri AI’ capabilities on the iPhone are available in CarPlay too.
Siri has a new UI that’s more like the pre-iOS 18 design, but with less color. It appears as a glowing orb at the bottom-center of the screen.
Siri in CarPlay is now much better at answering questions of any kind, similar to ChatGPT and Google Gemini. In my testing, it’s also able to retain the context of your current conversation better than ever before.
