Where to mount a cellphone?

Looking at the images of the inside of the car:

I'm finding it hard to envision any place on the dashboard where a phone could be mounted. Why does this matter? Given that there is no iphone/android integration (other than bluetooth) for the first version, it seems like I'd need to be able to mount my phone somewhere I can see the mapping app of my choice, music app of my choice, etc...

Short of sticking it to the glass (a solution I've never found very reliable) I don't see how that is going to work.

Anyone out there have some insight or thoughts on this?

Lots of “details” TBA. e.g. They mentioned at at least two cupholders will be provided. I don't see that detail in these renderings...

So if there are traditional wells for cup holders... that would allow many readily available cell phone holders. e.g. WeatherTech

Just a thought

I am hoping their is an induction charger pad somewhere for my cellphone but again... no details to realize

Lots of TBD and TBA details which is somewhat understandable. I just hope they don't forget some of these MUST HAVES for today's lifestyles. Induction charger pad or USB charge ports like Len mentioned. Storage pockets in the back of the seat (we use them for our re-usable grocery shopping bags). In-dash and center console storage compartment to keep those little things out of sight from thieves. Cargo net to accompany the tie downs. Spare tire and jack (or the ability to field-repair and re-inflate a damaged tire).

There's so much potential to make the vehicle more intelligent and add features with software. I assume Aptera will provide over-the-air software updates like Tesla (I hear their latest software can customize the sound of the horn).
