• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Anyone have any luck finding a way to charge a newer iPhone via USB-C cord?

You’d have to find a 12v plug with a USB-C port, or you would have to use your normal brick with the household outlet in the 2nd row if you have an SX with Prestige package. Otherwise, just use a good old USB-A cord.

Also, you can charge your iphone by putting it in the front tray-camera side down. An amber light will come on so you know it is charging.
 
A converter/coupler also works if you don’t mind charging at the old 5 watt rate.

Just buy a regular USB to Lighting cable
 
Not 100% sure on the question here but will try and clear things up.

Current iPhones that support faster charging use a Lightning to USB-C cable, but they will also charge with a Lightning to USB-A cable, just at the rated wattage of the USB port.

This previous thread from a year ago described the charging rate of the USB ports, which is pretty standard for a slow USB charger - 5 watts. The older "cube" style iPhone charging bricks and any crappy charging brick you'd pick up at a gas station will max at about 5 watts:

Short answer - a USB-A to lightning cable will be just as effective as a USB-A to USB-C adapter, with a USB-C to lightning cable.
As @bruesjoh04 said, you'll need a separate 12v charger to hit a faster charging rate.
 
it’s called a usb-c cable… get one that has the i phone one one end an usb-c on the other!!!! just bought one at Dollar General!!!

Dude - you missed the point. The original post was in 2022. 2022's and earlier models (I don't know about 23's) do not have a USB-C port so your solution will not work. That is why the talk of adapters and USB-A cables.......

Just got this. It actually activates "super fast charging " on my S21. I know it's not an iPhone but I would expect maximum charging with this also.
