Aftermarket wireless charger

Note sure if links are allowed but I see that Aliexpress have a wireless charger for the F48 that fits in the accessory socket just ahead of the drinks holders.
I have never bought from them before but wondering if anyone on here has bought one of these?

I've been using it for 2 years, and it's still working great! Charges really fast. But keep an eye on phone compatibility. Mine works fine with iPhone 11 pro max (with a very thin cover) but won't with iPhone 13 or newer; there isn't enough room.

Ah right. Cheers
I have the iPhone 11 but probably looking to get a 14 or 15 over next few months.
Will need to check sizes…

Confirmed! Not enough room for 13 pro max.

So is it the length of the phone or thickness of the phone that is the issue?
Or both?

The problem is the thickness of the iPhone 13 or newer.

I also used this for a while (https://www.carqiwireless.com/produc...31307465916556), but it turns out to be uncomfortable since I put a lot of things there.

It doesn’t with iphone 14 pro (not Max) as the MagSafe magnet located quite high. Not sure with pro Max though, I will try to make a picture with my GF’s phone later this week.
