USB size centre consul

So enjoying my new G05, have a question about the USB in the centre consul, its not the standard size, anyone tell me what I can get to connect/charge my iphone. My phone model isn't wireless charge so the charge point in the front by the standard USB port is of no use.

Looking in the manual it doesn't say what type will plug in.

USB-C is the connector in the center console and the backs of the front seats. You can get USB-C to whatever you need, like lightning.

The center armrest has USB C and the front cupholder area has USB A. Any phone should charge through those using the cable supplied with the phone, and additional cables are easy to find.

The USB-C in the center console also allows (with a converter) to attach a USB to it for music.

I got these and they work perfectly.

That's right, and the same applies to the USB A in the center console.

And actually someone on the forum recommended this - works great in the USB A port as a media player, and can store up to 256G:
