I've been using these charging cradles from ProClip USA for a while now in a couple of vehicles, so one was definitely going in the wife's new Suburban. They are not cheap, but then again, what was the price of the Suburban? :boti:

An Apple Lightning cable plugs into the bottom the cradle (actually via a pass-through) and your phone plugs into it. There are a number of versions to accommodate phones with/without cases - and they have a version that comes with it's own cables, etc.
The only vehicle specific mount which appears to be available at this point for the '15 body style is from ProClip - they have versions for both the LT & LTZ console style (or the GMC equivalent) and it clips onto the center console - with a left-side and right-side version. I'd like a mount that would be up higher on the console, but there really is not a good place for a hard-mount on the new style.

Since Apple does not make a black Lightning cable, and I was reusing a cradle from a past vehicle that required the Apple cable, I picked up a can of black PlastiDip and sprayed the cable black so it would blend in.
I pulled the rubber floor liner out of the center console and then removed the 5 screws to remove the bottom panel to allow access to run the cable
By pulling up a bit on the edge of cup-holder panel I was able to insert the USB-end of the cable and fish it down where I could access it from the removed center console panel. I had planned to cut a small notch in the edge of the panel for the cable to come through, but there was enough play in the panel to secure it back without needing to notch.
Finished product.....
