Q1: The M01 is advertised as 15W for iPhone—but many listings also say 7.5W. Which number is real, and what determines it?
Both numbers appear across AULUMU's own channels, and the discrepancy reflects product revisions rather than contradictory claims. The V2 "Qi2 fast version"—identifiable by the Qi2 certification listed on the Amazon Australia and AULUMU Japan pages—delivers up to 15W to a compatible iPhone. The original Qi-version listing and several regional retail pages specify 7.5W for iPhone, which is the ceiling for standard Qi charging on Apple devices. AULUMU's own product documentation explains the difference directly: "For the iPhone 12-16, Qi2 can deliver up to 15W of charging power, while Qi is only 7.5W for iPhone". The practical takeaway: confirm you are buying the Qi2 V2 version if 15W iPhone charging matters to you. On the V2, the iPhone pad outputs 15W max, the Apple Watch pad 5W, the base/AirPods pad 5W, and the USB-C port 10W, for a 35W total system output that requires a 35W+ PD adapter to sustain multi-device charging.
Q2: A 35W+ adapter is mandatory—what happens if you plug in a weaker charger, and does adding devices interrupt charging on others?
The M01 is explicit about its power requirement: a 35W or higher PD adapter (Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0/3.0 or better) and a fast-charging cable are required to charge three or more devices simultaneously. AULUMU's warning is blunt: with an inadequate adapter, "the charger cannot work properly, cant charge 3 and above devices at the same time, or may even damage the charger". The M01 ships without an adapter, so budget for a competent 45W PD brick alongside the station itself. On the interruption question, the M01 performs better than many multi-port chargers. ITmedia's hands-on review specifically tested for "瞬断" (momentary charging interruption)—the brief power cutoff that occurs when a new device is added—and found that adding an AirPods case or plugging a cable-charged device into the USB-C port did not interrupt power to the iPhone already charging. The reviewer confirmed this with an AC charger displaying wattage output, noting the display never dropped to "0" during device additions. That single-continuous-power behavior is a quieter but genuinely meaningful advantage for a desk hub you leave running all day.
Q3: The folding hinge and adjustable MagSafe panel sound convenient—how stable is the stand in daily use, and what are the structural limits to know?
The folding mechanism is the M01's defining feature, and ITmedia's review confirms the hinge is steplessly adjustable for keeping the iPhone screen at eye level, with the reviewer describing the hinge and base as "solid" enough to support one-handed scrolling and quick replies while mounted. The magnetic alignment also earns praise: the iPhone snaps into the correct position without deliberate placement, and rotating to landscape triggers StandBy mode cleanly. AULUMU publishes two structural caveats worth knowing upfront. First, the stand uses unilateral support—when not in use, the charging pad should be folded back or stored properly, because "if heavy objects are left on the charging pad for an extended period, it may cause the charging panel to tilt slightly" (AULUMU notes this tilt does not affect function). Second, the support arm should not be twisted excessively or indiscriminately, as doing so "may cause the charging station to lose its support function". In other words, the M01 is a precision folding mechanism, not a rugged kickstand—treat the hinge as the engineered component it is, and it will hold its angle reliably through daily desk use and travel.
