RetiredgE Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 So, as my mind usually does at 3 AM, I start thinking about things and the one topic (above) came to my mind. Currently, the new iPhone 8's have a charging connector to charge and connect via USB port in your car. As I understand it, in order to use CarPlay, it must be connected. When the new iPhone X ( and future models I'm sure) come out, there will be no charging port. The charging is done via a "hot plate". Any thoughts on how CarPlay will work? That's my morning thoughts for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omar302 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 The iPhone X will also have the usual port at the bottom. https://www.apple.com/iphone-x/specs/ See it under external buttons & connectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Was jus about to say that. Both iPhone 8 and X utilize Qi wireless charging as well as standard charging via lighting port. No issues with CarPlay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
