Apple to Let iPhone Users Watch Videos on CarPlay Screen While Parked

Apple this week announced that iPhone users will soon be able to watch videos right on the CarPlay screen in supported vehicles. iPhone users will...

@caseyliss I'd like it to see if it can figure out when my stick shift is in park. 🤨

@dmoren I had the same thought, but I **think** it's based on location services not any sort of comms with the car.

But apparently it needs enhanced support on the car side regardless, so you and I are SOL anyway :(

@caseyliss The screen in my head unit is so small and low quality that this would be silly. But I don't loooove the idea of people watching video on these things. Someone will get around it. I wonder if they have multiple systems: check if you're moving with accelerometer/GPS and try to talk to the car if you can?

@dmoren @caseyliss Remember, they could always "get around this" by just putting an iPad in the car, or using the phone without CarPlay.

Jerks are gonna jerk...

@dnanian @caseyliss Totally true! I don't know if that makes it better or not. 🤪
