You can wirelessly charge your iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus in these cars
Apple's iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus mark the tech giant's first foray into wireless charging, and for those curious just what cars will support the new power-up method, if any, Apple has some news for you.
Apple today provided a list of auto manufacturers that make cars with built-in Qi-certified wireless chargers. Qi is the wireless charging standard supported by the newest iPhone models.
Cars from the following makers will wirelessly charge your iPhone 8 or its larger counterpart, as long as the size of the charging pad allows. Though not listed by Apple, the iPhone X, which launches on November 3, will also likely work with wireless chargers in these same cars.
- Audi
- BMW
- Chrysler
- Ford
- Genesis
- Honda
- Hyundai
- Kia
- Mercedes-Benz
- PSA
- Toyota
- Volkswagen
- Volvo
This isn't the complete list as certain 2018 models from Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC also support Qi wireless charging that's compatible with Apple's phones.
- 2018 GMC Terrain
- 2018 GMC Yukon
- 2018 GMC Sierra
- 2018 Chevrolet Bolt
- 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe
- 2018 Chevrolet Silverado
- 2018 Chevrolet Suburban
- 2018 Cadillac Escalade
- 2018 Buick Enclave
According to Apple, the implementations of wireless charging in 2017 and older models from the above manufacturers don't meet Qi standards, and therefore won't work with the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X.
The list of supported cars and models are consistent across the US, UK and Australia, so you should be able to plop your new iPhone on a charging mat in any of these vehicles anywhere in the world and charge up on the go.
