The best iPhone power banks of 2024: Expert tested

Anker 622 MagSafe Wireless Charger Features: Capacity: 5,000mAh | Charging port: USB-C or Lightning | Price: $40

This Anker battery pack offers 5,000mAh of battery capacity, features a USB-C and Lightning port, and has a compact design. With a single magnetic click, this battery pack can be stored in your pocket or propped up using its sturdy magnet as a stand. Additionally, you don’t have to worry about charging your phone and your battery pack separately, as you can charge both simultaneously when the pack is connected to a power source. 

This battery pack took the design of Apple’s own MagSafe power bank (which has now been discontinued) and improves on it. And users agree — people on Reddit say that the Apple charger pales in comparison to this one. The biggest improvement was the folding kickstand — it’s something that seems small on the face of it, but it was one of my favorite features of this power bank.

This power bank also comes with a charge USB-C-to-USB-C cable, which is always handy to have.

I also like how small and unobtrusive this was. Smaller than my wallet, I could slip it into a pocket or bag ready for when ti was needed. Despite being thin, I had this power bank in pockets of coats and trousers for days, so I have no concerns about durability (yes, I tested the durability of a power bank by carrying it around in my pocket for days!).
