A warning has emerged that the protective film attached to a new car’s CarPlay infotainment screen is not always safer to keep in place. Some vehicles can see the transparent film soften and stick to the display under heat, potentially damaging the screen, an IT outlet reported. A mechanic’s TikTok video urged removal and warned repairs could cost thousands of dollars, but others noted films vary by vehicle and may be either temporary shipping covers or intended protective layers.

Apple’s next iPhone operating system, iOS 27, is increasingly likely to launch in mid-September, with a release around Sept. 14 seen as a leading candidate. IT outlet 9to5Mac reported Apple is expected to distribute the final version to users in September after months of beta testing. The release date is typically confirmed at Apple’s annual iPhone event, with iPhone 18 Pro expected around Sept. 9. The update is expected to add features to core apps and include a major Siri AI revamp while keeping device support unchanged from iOS 26.
