Spigen Mag Fit Phone Holder 2022
Best low-profile phone holder
Pros Low-profile design Affordable Easy to angle Cons Designed primarily with MagSafe iPhone in mind If you already have a lot going on in your car and you don’t want a car mount to get in the way, this low-profile model from Spigen works to save as much space as possible. The vent fit also means that you have plenty of options for placing it and making sure it doesn’t get in the way.

The mount is also MagSafe compatible and redesigned to work with the latest iPhone models, including the iPhone 14, 13, and 12 series. It’s also durable, affordable, and very easy to install, making it a good recommendation for all kinds of drivers.

We also like that its simple design allows it to function at multiple angles without worrying too much about adjusting it before use. Spigen Mag Fit Phone Holder (2022) Best low-profile phone holder
ESR HaloLock Car Mount
Best car phone holder for the iPhone 14
Pros Durable Strong magnetic locking Extended arm for better access MagSafe charging Cons May be too bulky for some cars If you have a shiny iPhone 14 and want the best mount for it, this ESR model does everything in an extremely durable package that’s going to pair well with all the latest iPhones.

This dashboard mount is made to stay put and has an elongated neck so that tapping or reading on your iPhone is much easier in larger cars. It’s magnetic and MagSafe compatible with wireless charging, and it has a powerful magnetic force that keeps tight hold of your iPhone. While it’s primarily designed with dashboard use in mind, the suction cup can be attached to the windshield as well, so you can experiment with different positions.

Scosche MagicMount Pro Charge5
The best choice for charging MagSafe iPhones
Pros Fast 15W MagSafe charging Extra USB-C charging port for a second device Includes magnetic plate for non-MagSafe iPhones Cons Non-MagSafe cases require use of magnetic plate Different mounting options are sold individually The Charge5 is Scosche's latest entry in its popular MagicMount Pro series. It's designed to not only hold an iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 securely with Apple's MagSafe technology but also keep you powered up on the road at the same time.

A set of powerful Neodymium magnets align with the MagSafe ring in a compatible iPhone to securely hold your device in place while driving. The MagSafe attachment is strong enough to handle everything from the diminutive iPhone Mini to the full-sized iPhone Pro Max. The Charge5 is also fully MagSafe-certified, meaning it will fast-charge a MagSafe-compatible iPhone at full 15W speeds.

Plus, there's an extra 20W USB-C charging port on the included car connector, so you can power up a second device simultaneously. You can also use the Charge5 even if you aren't toting an iPhone with a MagSafe attachment yet. Like Scosche's previous MagicMount Pro accessories, the included MagicPlate can be attached to any iPhone to securely anchor it to the mount.

Non-MagSafe iPhones can also still charge wirelessly, although you'll be limited to standard 7.5W Qi charging rather than Apple's faster MagSafe speeds. The MagicPlate also comes in handy if you prefer to use a non-MagSafe case with your iPhone 12 or iPhone 13, as the MagSafe attachment may not be strong enough to keep your iPhone secure when passing through a case.

Belkin Car Vent Mount PRO with MagSafe
The best MagSafe mount
Pros Supports MagSafe Lightweight Stays in place Cons Won't work through non-MagSafe cases Doesn't fit all vents Belkin's Vent Mount Pro was one of the first MagSafe car accessories to arrive after Apple debuted the new technology with the iPhone 12 in 2020 — and it's the first MagSafe accessory we found recommendable. The Vent Mount Pro won't charge your iPhone; instead, it uses the MagSafe connector solely to anchor your iPhone 12 or newer to your dashboard with a minimum of fuss. The iPhone snaps on magnetically and stays securely in place, so there are no brackets or arms to fuss with.

It's an elegant solution that just works. Just keep in mind that, like most MagSafe docks and mounts, you won't be able to use this with a non-MagSafe case — the magnetic attachment isn't strong enough to avoid the risk of your iPhone falling off while driving.

However, it works great with an uncased iPhone or any Apple or third-party case that includes the MagSafe ring. Belkin Car Vent Mount PRO with MagSafe The best MagSafe mount More
Kenu Airframe Vent Mount
The most portable mount
Pros Lightweight and pocketable Can be used as a kickstand Expands to handle the largest iPhone models Cons Placement can be awkward on some vents Not a fan of mounting sticky pads to your dashboard or suction cups to your windscreen? A vent mounting system could be what you're looking for then.

Built to fit most vent slats, Kenu's Airframe+ slides into your chosen vent and expands to accommodate your iPhone. It's large enough to accommodate even the most super-sized iPhones, including the iPhone 13 Pro Max, and the clip rotates to fit both thin and thick vent slats. It's lightweight, compact enough to fit in your pocket, and when combined with a credit card, it doubles as a handy kickstand for your phone.

iOttie Easy One Touch 5
The most versatile mount
Pros Easy one-handed operation Bottom feet hold iPhone securely Fully adjustable Cons A bit bulky iOttie's Easy One Touch 4 was excellent, so it makes sense we'd jump right onto the Easy One Touch 5 when it was available.

The headline feature is the excellent one-touch mechanism that allows you to close the mount and open it one-handed, making it perfect for quickly slipping in your phone as you're getting ready to set off. Your iPhone is held securely by the arms, and there are feet at the bottom, so it can't fall. More 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, but iOttie also offers the same basic design with built-in Qi wireless charging for around $50, and if you're a big fan of Alexa, check out the iOttie Easy One Touch Connect Pro, which allows you to use Alexa on your iPhone in the car hands-free. You can buy this mount to fit into an air vent or CD slot or to be mounted on the dashboard or windshield.

ZeeHoo 15W Wireless Charging Mount
The best for charging non-MagSafe iPhones
Pros Supports Qi wireless charging Uses a USB-C connector Solid construction Cons Limited to 7.5W charging speeds If you own an iPhone 8 or later, your device is compatible with wireless charging. To combat the battery drainage that usually comes with running intensive location-tracking apps like Waze, the ZeeHoo wireless charging mount can keep your device running without any cables. It also supports 15W Qi Fast Charging, but since it doesn't use Apple's MagSafe technology, even the latest iPhone models will only be able to draw 7.5W from it.

Unlike most wireless charging mounts, the ZeeHoo mount also has a more modern USB-C port. The car-powered mount also features a fan to help keep your phone cool while it charges. With all the components that make up the mount, the base suction cup is surprisingly strong enough to hang onto most surfaces like windshields and dashboards.

IPOW Car Phone Mount
The most adjustable mount
Pros Fully adjustable Strong suction cup Room for wired charging cable Cons A bit bulky Reasonably priced and very effective, the IPOW Car Phone Mount has a strong suction cup on the base to 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.

The clamp and arm can be adjusted separately 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 enough to hold your iPhone securely but still allows for quick and effortless 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 13 Pro Max. There's no built-in charging here, but you'll find room between the feet to connect a cable for car chargers.

WizGear Universal Air Vent Magnetic Car Mount
The simplest mount
Pros Simple and compact Strong magnetic attachment Works through most cases Cons Requires use of magnetic plate Not compatible with MagSafe WizGear's car phone holder is the one to go for if you want to save space and money. It will save you time when placing your iPhone on the mount since 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, the phone and mount can be rotated or tilted to whatever angle you prefer. WizGear Universal Air Vent Magnetic Car Mount The simplest mount More
Topgo Gooseneck Cup Holder Mount
The best mount for cupholders
Pros Easy to install and remove Fits almost any cup holder Gooseneck offers flexible positioning Cons Stability depends on cup holder design Every good car has a cup holder, but you don't need a drink to make use of yours.

This car mount from Topgo makes use of a previously empty cup holder by using it to hold your phone. The adjustable base can change to fit almost any cup holder, while the 8-inch gooseneck attached to the main cradle allows you to position your phone wherever you need it.

The cradle itself is secure and can expand more than 3.5-inches — which makes it big enough to accommodate any iPhone on the market today. While it may lack the snazzy brand name of other holders, this cradle is a no-nonsense alternative — and if you need a version without the flexible gooseneck, Topgo has a cup holder mount for that need too.
