No matter where or how you want to dock your phone, we have a solution here.

Our top pick as the best iPhone car mount for most people is iOttie’s Easy One Touch 4. You can buy this mount to fit into an air vent, CD slot, or to be mounted on the dashboard or windshield. It has an excellent one-touch mechanism that allows you to close the mount or open it one-handed. Your iPhone is held securely by the arms and there are feet at the bottom, so it can’t fall. Importantly, you can adjust the height of the feet and there’s a telescopic arm that can extend and pivot. This level of adjustability allows the iOttie mount to accommodate any iPhone model with any case on, and you can always find the ideal angle. It’s a secure, solid mount at an affordable price.

The VANMASS Car Phone Holder has a strong suction cup on the base that will hold firm to your dashboard or windshield. It’s designed to be fully adjustable, so the cradle for your iPhone is connected via a ball socket that allows for any angle and both the clamp and arm can be adjusted and then tightened when you find your preferred position. The cradle has feet on the bottom with soft rubber padding to keep your phone safe and two arms with a spring mechanism that’s just enough to hold your iPhone securely, but still allows for quick and easy removal. There’s also a lever on the back for releasing the suction cup, and you can wash it to renew its effectiveness. This mount will fit most phones, and it’s perfect for iPhones of almost any size, from the iPhone 8 to the iPhone 11 Pro Max. There’s no built-in charging here, but you’ll find room between the feet to connect a cable for car chargers.

YOSH’s car mount is the one to go for if you want to save space and money. It will also save you some time when it comes to placing your iPhone on the mount because there’s no fiddling with arms, and you won’t have to remove your iPhone’s protective case. This mount doesn’t stick to the dash, or come with a holder for the phone, but instead clips onto your air vent. It holds your iPhone in place magnetically, without harming or interfering with any aspect of the phone. You can affix your iPhone to the mount by placing the included metal plate in your case — between the back of your phone and the case — or by placing the round magnetic plate on the back of your phone. You can then hold it in front of the mount and feel the magnetism pull it securely in. Once attached, both the phone and mount can be rotated or tilted to whatever angle you prefer.

The coolest thing about the Auckly car charger is the automatically closing arms. When you put your iPhone on the charging pad, it depresses the sensor and the arms close by themselves to hug it tightly, but it requires power, so you do have to start the car first. Auckly provides a charging cable that plugs into the power socket in your car and has an extra USB to charge a second device. The Auckly mount itself has a built-in Qi wireless charging pad that can deliver up to 15W, so it can charge the latest iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, as well as the previous generation and any other smartphone that supports Qi wireless charging. It’s a classic suction pad design, so it can fit on the dashboard or windshield and there’s an air vent clip option in the box, too. You can adjust the angle and height easily, though, as with many adjustable arm mounts, you may need to tighten it from time to time. It’s a shame that you have to start the car for the arms to automatically close, and we don’t like the lack of feet at the bottom to hold your iPhone in place, but this is an impressive package.
