Millions of drivers due free TV upgrade in car that lets you watch telly – and it'll work even on old motors
A CLEVER upgrade to cars across the world will let you watch video on your motor's built-in screen. It's all thanks to a new update to Apple CarPlay, which is in millions of cars globally – and unsurprisingly, there's a big catch. 7 7 The feature will only work if you're parked. That's to prevent drivers from catching up on Love Island on the M25 – a dangerous combination. With CarPlay, your iPhone takes over your car's screen, giving you access to your apps, music, contacts and more. And with the iOS 26 update for iPhone later this year, you'll be able to beam video from your mobile to your car's display. This works through the same AirPlay feature that lets you stream iPhone video to your telly. So you could play a video that was saved to your Photos app. Or you could use one of the many TV apps that support AirPlay to easily stream content to your Apple CarPlay monitor in your car. That includes Apple TV+ and YouTube – or any other app that offers CarPlay. "AirPlay video in the car enables people to watch their favourite videos from iPhone right on their CarPlay display when they aren't driving," Apple explains. The other catch is that your carmaker will need to switch the feature on. Apples's big announcements from WWDC with a flurry new features for the gadgets you already own CarPlay is managed by Apple, but your car provider still needs to activate the new ability to watch TV. And it won't go live until at least September, when we're expecting iOS 26 to roll out to millions of iPhone models as a free update. But plenty of cars support CarPlay. CarPlay launched back in 2014, and more than 800 models of motor across 40 brands now support it. 7 7 Apple recently revealed that it's used more than 600 million times a day. So there's a good chance that the new feature will come to your car in the near future. DRIVE ON That wasn't the only car upgrade from Apple. This week, the company held its WWDC 2025 event in California, revealing all of its major software updates for the year ahead. IOS 26 SUPPORTED DEVICES – THE FULL LIST Here are the iOS 26 supported devices... iPhone 16e iPhone 16 iPhone 16 Plus iPhone 16 Pro iPhone 16 Pro Max iPhone 15 iPhone 15 Plus iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 14 iPhone 14 Plus iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 Pro Max iPhone 13 iPhone 13 mini iPhone 13 Pro iPhone 13 Pro Max iPhone 12 iPhone 12 mini iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12 Pro Max iPhone 11 iPhone 11 Pro iPhone 11 Pro Max iPhone SE (3rd gen) iPhone SE (2nd gen) Picture Credit: Apple For a start, Apple CarPlay is getting the new Liquid Glass look that other Apple gadgets are getting later this year. That gives the apps a glassy new aesthetic with a translucent design. And you'll be able to send Tapbacks to texts – they're the quick emoji reactions that are already available in the Messages app on iPhone. There's support for widgets on screen, as well as Live Activities (which could show sports scores, for instance). 7 And Apple has also finally debuted CarPlay Ultra, which is the supercharged version of CarPlay only currently available with one car brand. Instead of just replacing your infotainment screen, CarPlay Ultra also serves as a customisable instrument panel (showing your speed and fuel and so on), as well as allowing you to control car functions like heating. During a sit-down interview with The Sun, Apple's Greg 'Joz'' Joswiak said: 'We're also bringing out that next generation of CarPlay, which we just brought out for the first time about a month ago." Joz continued: 'CarPlay is this beautiful ability to use the features of your phone. 7 'We wanted to have an experience with CarPlay Ultra that allows you – through that same interface that you can control your phone – to also control the aspects of your car 'Whether it's the seat heaters or the heating system in general, or even the car radio. 'Things that are outside of normal iPhone capabilities. To control these with CarPlay Ultra. 'We're very happy with the initial rollout of that. Some of the first vehicles started coming out last month. There's plenty more brands working on it.' 7 CarPlay Ultra is currently available in new models from British motoring giant Aston Martin, but it's expected to arrive in other vehicles in the future too.

Market Leaders Address Latency Challenges with Edge Computing Solutions
DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 30, 2025-- The 'Next-gen Content Delivery Networks and Edge Services, 2025: Frost Radar Report' report has been added to offering. The report for the next-gen content delivery networks (CDN) and edge services industry analyzes providers offering services to deliver web content, video, and applications to end-users with high performance, low latency, and robust security. The CDN market has evolved to include: The CDN industry has transformed from solely focusing on content delivery to providing a comprehensive suite of services that enable secure, high-performance, and real-time content delivery, edge computing, and cloud-native services. Reducing latency and enhancing performance are critical challenges in the next-gen CDN and edge services market. The rapid growth of video streaming services and the increasing demand for high-resolution content (such as 4K and 8K videos), as well as lower latency, are pushing the limits of traditional CDN infrastructure. Additionally, as real-time applications like IoT, smart cities, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) become more prevalent, the demand for low-latency, high-performance content delivery networks (CDNs) is increasingly growing. Market leaders are addressing this challenge by integrating edge computing solutions that process data closer to end-users, significantly reducing latency and improving performance. This transformation is essential for supporting the growing demand for bandwidth-intensive digital experiences. The CDN and edge services market is witnessing a transformation driven by innovative business models and megatrends. Traditional CDNs operated on a per-byte traffic charging model, but this approach is becoming commoditized. Providers are now expanding their service portfolios to include higher value-add networks and security services, creating subscription-based packages. This diversification is reshaping the market, with top-tier providers offering comprehensive solutions that encompass content delivery, security, and edge computing. The market is characterized by intense competition and geopolitical challenges. Consolidation among major players and the entry of cloud providers and ISPs are increasing competitive pressure. Additionally, geopolitical factors such as data sovereignty and localization regulations are complicating global content delivery. Successful companies are navigating these challenges by adopting multi-cloud strategies, enhancing their security offerings, and expanding their global reach through partnerships and localized presence. The 13 companies profiled in this report were selected based on their ability to meet a set of specific criteria, including offering a comprehensive CDN solution with a significant global presence, providing robust edge computing capabilities, integrating advanced security features, supporting cloud-native services, demonstrating innovation and R&D investments, having a visible customer base and significant revenues, and providing a user-friendly platform.
