Will she fit?

Get your minds out of the gutter! ;-)

I just saw the iPhone 12 pro max measurements and my guess is that she will no longer fit in the wireless charging tray for our cars. My current iPhone 11 pro max is already a snug fit with a thin carbon fiber case. Just like Americans needed their big cup holders, now we need our bigger wireless charging pads!

No joke. That's a pity. I have an 11 pro max and you're not wrong, it's a snug fit.

definitely not fitting. already considering the 12pro or just plugging it in. Truth is the wireless charger is hardly useful for the the bigger phone anyway. so maybe i just need to get over it and start plugging it in the center console. anyone know if the USB C charger in the center console has a higher wattage than the USB A in the cup holder?

Not sure if the M8 and M5 utilize the same compartment, but the 11 Pro Max fits fine in the M8, albeit without a case, and it seems like the 12 Pro Max will fit without a case as well. Probably slim cases will work too.

I have a slim case on my 11 pro max and fits just fine in the wireless charging tray. Doubt 2mm is gonna make a difference.

I can confirm that the new iPhone 12 Pro Max will not fit flush in the M5 charging tray. I picked up a new carbon fiber case from Pitaka and used that to see if it will work and the case will go in most of the way but not sit flush to be able to charge wirelessly.

Just received my pro max!
Yes she fits perfectly right out of the box! However, any type of case (slim or not) on this big girl will make her too big for the tray.

Got the max yesterday, with any type of case it will not sit flush in the charging tray. I tried to fit it in without a case and it was still not sitting 100% flat. rip wireless charging tray .

I figure if you get Apple care, you don’t need a case. Personally I don’t bother with Apple care so always have a case.
