iPhone X Wireless Charging
Hello
With the iPhone X being released end of October/beginning of November this post may be a bit early but I figured I would ask anyway.
The new iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X all feature wireless charging. The 8 Plus is too big to fit in the wireless charging area, height wise, in the E class. From what I can see so far is the iPhone X will be smaller height wise from the 8 Plus.
My question is, what is the height of the wireless charging spot in the E class? I think it fits up to a 5.5 inch screen, but the iPhone X has a 5.8 inch screen, but the phone will be smaller than the iPhone 8 Plus.
Does anyone think the iPhone X will be able to wirelessly charge in the E class? I was really hoping I can use this feature but my 6S Plus is too big for the spot in the car.
Sorry if I seem all over the place with this post.

Does anyone have any issues with the charging going on and off (you can tell if you have a notification sound set for charging), I'm having that with a Galaxy S7 edge - seems to be when it gets a little hot. I've toggled fast wireless on and off with no difference, same in and out of case.

It depends on the phone model. Some phones support fast-charging via wireless charging. The new iPhones will most likely not support fast charging unless its with their USB C cable.
I don't mind how fast or slow it charges, I usually have access to a charger but its convenient that its get some charge back while I'm driving instead of it sitting in the slot not doing anything.

I ordered the wireless option with my car for the convenience of not plugging in and not dealing with a dead phone in the middle of a conversation. Charging is very slow because the wireless charging has less than one amp of power. It was the worse in the comparison test of premium cars done by Car & Driver. As a matter of fact it's worth reading Car & Driver'e in depth comparison article comparing five premium cars including the Audi A7, BMW 540ix. The E43 was the car to own.

You may be right. I am quoting from the C&D article. I may know for sure very soon. Someone posted that the E43's are being released today and I have a iPhone 8 that is supposed to be here Sept.22nd.

Nice! I'm holding out for the iPhone X because according to the specs it should just fit in the spot without a case. The Plus doesn't fit in it and won't charge wirelessly.

Just FYI, I’ve been a fan of wireless charging for a while. I have an iPhone 7 Plus with a charging case and although it doesn’t quite fit in the tray it charges anyway. It just sticks out a couple of mm but there’s plenty of contact between the phone and tray.
It looks like the iPhone X is going to fit, but even if it was too big it should still charge.

It’s made by a company called Exelium. I’ve lost count of how many different cases I’ve tried but this one seems very good. It’s slim, and the lighting adapter part has a proper hinge so will stand being unplugged many times. Lots of other cases just have a ribbon cable and before long they break when unplugging to use a regular charging cable.

Glad to see Apply finally getting behind wireless charging for the iphone. Hope that gives a boost to that feature so it becomes ubiquitous and accessories get better at it. I still think the car implementation is a poor design and the speed is too slow for practical use.

I didn’t buy direct from them, I got mine from an online shop here in Sweden. It cost around €30.

I’ve been using Qi chargers for a while and you develop a new habit of placing your phone on a mat by your desk, by your bedside table and now in the car. This way you keep the phone charged all the time. It sounds a hassle but for me it’s easier than plugging in.

I charge my phone overnight because I rarely take it out of my pocket. it interfaces with my Surface 4 Pro the way it does with my cars - via Bluetooth. On a long trip I'd probably use the car's QI charger.

I hear what you are saying, but that’s because you’re used to letting your battery drain low, then charge back to 100%.
