But judging BMW on its timeliness of cradle releases relative to phone releases, I'm not optimistic about the sustainability of this option.
You can't blame BMW for that, it's apples fault for not including built in wireless charging to their phones.
EDIT: Case has Micro-USB passthrough. Native wireless charging support would be better, but I don't think anyone will stop using an iPhone over lack of wireless charging, but they might avoid certain accessories that cause inconvenience, so right or wrong, it's in BMW's interest to work around Apple, not tell Apple customers to blame Apple.
