Same for the iPhone 12 mini.
The phone is attached stably, even facing down.
For Android phones that support wireless charging, they need to be equipped with magnetic peripherals to have the same user experience as MagSafe.
The charging area for AirPods can also charge the phone but is slow.
You can freely adjust the height while charging three devices.
The charger supports the StandBy mode. When your iPhone turns on the always-on display and is upgraded to iOS17, then you are good to go.

The input power is about 20.57W when charging the iPhone 15.
