I suppose they were thinking about people who carry phones instead of tablets.

My iPhone X is fine. My wife's Samsung S8 not so much.
I guess they could have enlarged the console and left out the passenger seat.

Complaining isn't going to make it fit. Just buy an iPhone X. Problem solved.

I know how you feel man... look on the bright side, at least you guys have wireless charging while I on the other hand thought mine was malfunctioning only to find that my sales guy forgot to include it in my build specification.
Very true... but somehow I feel nothing beats the good old charge cable. Well I for one use them super slim battery pack cases they carry an additional 5000mah of juice.

This talk is funny. The iPhone 7 can’t be wireless charged. Has to be an 8 or X.

I've never used the charger in the center console since I usually use my phone for GPS. I have a wireless charging phone holder that goes into my CD slot, works pretty well (but obviously charges slower than wired).

Actually its a great feature for long trips. My iPhone X fits in the charger and wife has a cable for her 8+ so she doesn't have to freakin #%#%$^ keep unplugging my phone to make sure hers is charged.

BMW in Milton Keynes actually demonstrated the wireless charging to me and they said it was a pain and anything but the smalles handsets dont work properly, so I didnt spec it as I usually have a plus model phone.
I recently upgraded to an iphone X - biggest pile of rubbish apple have produced in years - complete dog of a phone. Been returned and iphone 8+ instead now. I couldnt in all honesty recommend the X |

There's a real good video on YouTube on how to do it. It's in German so there might be the language barrier for some, but the video is great. It's a little difficult but if you take your time you'll be fine. I did mine so I can use it and my wife charges hers with the USB port.

Seems to me the real point is, worldwide, there are 4X as many Android users as Iphone users, and aside from Samsung, most of them dont use wireless charging, and those that do mostly wont fit.. More to the point though, with the majority of phone users around the world Not using Iphones, where the heck is my Android Auto... BMW prejudiced toward Android owners? I thought diversity was the name of the game these days..

The iPhones don't crash after the first year.... they're designed to have the battery fail, not the entire phone! |

However, it is well known that IOS users are less tech savvy and prefer being spoon fed.. Just google it.
