If you’ve updated your iPhone to iOS 26, I bet you’re enjoying all the new features and visual makeover it offers with Liquid Glass. I’ve been using the final version ever since Apple released it a couple weeks ago just ahead with the iPhone 17 launch, but I’ve found something odd two weeks in with CarPlay.
Apple’s car infotainment software gets some changes that address many of the issues I’ve had previously with CarPlay. Not only does the new Liquid Glass material design language give CarPlay a face lift, but other new additions like Live Activities and new widgets make things way more functional than ever before.
