APPS2Car M43-C04 Magnetic Cup Holder for MagSafe iPhone, Grey, Adjustable

If you prefer to keep your dashboard clear, a cup-holder mount places your phone within reach without taking up that space. The APPS2Car M43-C04 combines a magnetic phone attachment with an adjustable telescoping neck. Its one-hand operation makes it practical for everyday trips.

Key takeaways

This grey, non-charging mount is designed for MagSafe-compatible iPhones and attaches at your car’s cup holder. The telescoping neck adjusts the height and viewing angle, helping you position the screen to suit your seat and preferred view. The magnetic connection keeps the phone attached to the mount, while one-hand operation lets you place or remove it without needing to adjust a separate clamp.

The holder uses 20 N55 magnets and is specified with 25N of magnetic force. The manufacturer also states that it has passed 8,000 vibration tests and simulations of extreme road conditions. Buyers highlight the magnetic attachment, stability and adjustability as useful aspects in day-to-day use, these are customer impressions rather than a substitute for the stated fit requirements.

Size & fit

The mount measures 8.3 x 8.3 x 23.2 centimetres and weighs 120 grams. Its base is intended for most standard car cup holders measuring 3.0–4.0 inches, installation is by placing it in the holder and twisting to secure it. The product is listed as compatible with iPhone 12 to 18 series models, including Pro, Pro Max and Mini. Android phones and iPhone 16e can be used with the additional MagSafe ring described as included in the package.

Fit is specifically excluded for the 2022 Nissan Murano, 2024 Subaru Crosstrek, 2017 Hyundai Elantra, 2019 Toyota RAV4 and 2017 Toyota Rav 4. Check the cup-holder fit for your vehicle before setting off, so the base can be secured as intended.

Usage tips

Install the base in the car’s cup holder and twist it to secure it, then extend and angle the neck for a clear, comfortable view from the driving position. Attach a compatible MagSafe iPhone directly, or use the supplied MagSafe ring with an Android phone or iPhone 16e. Adjust the phone before driving and keep your attention on the road. This is a non-charging holder, so it is intended to position your phone rather than power it.

Compared with a mount that grips the phone with adjustable side arms, this magnetic design offers a direct one-hand attachment and a height-adjustable neck. It suits drivers who want a tidy cup-holder installation and flexible screen positioning for everyday navigation or hands-free use.
