Best Power Bank for iPhones in 2025

The Anker Zolo portable power bank is not only affordable but also pretty compact (4.32 by 2.58 by 0.98 inches, 0.48 pounds) for a 10,000-mAH power bank with fast-charging capabilities. It can charge an iPhone 16 almost two times and outputs 30 watts of power, which means it can charge your iPhone at the fastest rate and also provide your MacBook Air with some juice in a pinch. The USB-C cable tucks into a port on the battery, turning the cable into a lanyard when you don't have it plugged into a device (yes, it charges Android smartphones just fine). Note that for about $10 more you can get the Zolo portable charger with dual USB-C/Lightning cables if you still have a Lighting-equipped iPhone. And the power bank also comes in a 20,000-mAh version for the same price as the 10,000-mAh version, but it's quite a bit larger.

The Anker Zolo portable power bank comes in a version with a single USB-C cable built in and also in this version, with dual-cable USB-C/Lighting. This one costs only a little more than the single-cable model, which is surprising given that power banks with Lightning cables typically are pricier.

Like the single-cable version, this dual-cable model is not only quite affordable but also pretty compact (7.65 ounces) for a 10,000-mAH power bank with fast-charging capabilities. It can charge an iPhone 16 almost two times and outputs 30 watts of power via the USB-C cable, which means it can charge your iPhone at the fastest rate and also provide your MacBook Air with some juice in a pinch.

If you have one of the newer iPhones with USB-C charging, or an Android smartphone with USB-C, the Mophie Powerstation Plus Mini is a relatively compact power bank with an integrated USB-C cable that offers 20-watt fast charging. The mini version has a 5,000-mAh battery that will fully recharge most smartphones at once. Mophie also makes a larger, 10,000mAh version that offers double the charging capacity, but it's a little bulky and costs more. Note that while you're charging the battery, you can also charge your device (the battery has pass-through charging).

What's cool about Anker's 622 magnetic battery is that it's a wireless battery that has an integrated magnetic flap that converts into a stand. You won't get fast wireless charging from this 5,000-mAh battery (it charges at up to 7.5 watts), but it's slim and easy to carry around. 

It charges via USB-C, and if you use a USB-C-to-Lightning to charge your iPhone, it will charge at a faster rate of 12 watts. That's not as fast as what a 20-watt USB-C power adapter can deliver, but it's faster than 7.5 watts.

Note that Anker has updated this model to move the charging port to the side (from the bottom), so you can charge it while using it as a stand. That's a worthy upgrade worth the premium price versus the old version (which confusingly retains the same 622 model number). 

The Baseus Magnetic Portable Charger is a compact 6,000-mAh wireless power bank that sticks to the back of MagSafe-enabled iPhones (or MagSafe-enabled iPhone cases) and charges your iPhone at 7.5W. If you're looking for faster charging, you can plug a USB-C-to-Lightning cable into the battery and get 20W charging speeds. It also offers pass-through charging (you can charge the Baseus' battery while charging your phone). 

The battery is similar in size to many 5,000-mAh batteries and also costs less. That 6,000-mAh capacity will get you close to a full charge with most iPhones, though it may fall a bit short for iPhone Max models. It comesd in three color options.

If you're still using Apple devices with Lightning connectors but also want a power bank that can charge USB-C equipped devices, the Mophie Powerstation Plus is a good option with its dual UBC-C/Lightning cable design. It's a 10,000-mAh battery, so it can charge an iPhone 16 almost twice, and it delivers 30 watts of power from its USB-C port, so it can also provide some juice to a MacBook Air in a pinch. The smaller Mini version costs about $30 less and has only a single USB-C cable (it's a 5,000-mAH battery), while the Mophie Powerstation Plus ($100) also has dual cables but adds retractable prongs so you can charge it in any power outlet.

Anker has a few different Zolo power banks. A couple are just wired chargers with built-in cables, but it also has some magnetic Zolo power banks with 7.5 wireless charging, including this model with a built-in kickstand that also features an integrated USB-C cable that delivers 30 watts of charging power. This is a 10,000-mAh battery and is a bit hefty, measuring 4.15 by 2.72 by .81 inches and weighing 8.46 ounces (240 grams), but it's not that bulky for a 10,000-mAh battery that gives an iPhone almost two full charges. It's available in four color options.

The Baseus Picogo is a relatively compact 10,000-mAh battery that delivers up to 45 watts of total power and has a built-in USB-C cable along with USB-C and USB-A charge out ports. While it's still a little bulky, it's a versatile charger that can almost charge an iPhone 16 twice and can provide some juice for your MacBook Air. It also has a built-in LED battery life indicator and is a good value overall.

The Anker MagGo Power Bank 6.6K has a 6,600-mAh battery that can fully charge most iPhones one time. It's Qi2-certified, which means it offers 15-watt fast-charging capabilities and is fully MagSafe compatible, offering twice the speed of standard 7.5-watt wireless chargers for MagSafe-enabled iPhone 13, 14, 15 and 16 models and Android smartphones that support 15-watt wireless charging.

Available in five color options, this model has a foldable design with customizable viewing angles. Though it comes with a USB-C cable, you'll need a USB-C charger with more than 15-watt output to hit those 15-watt charging speeds. You can take the power bank on the go or leave it plugged in to use as a wireless charging stand when at home. Its only drawback is that it's a little bulky for on-the-go use.

If you're looking for a new power bank for your new USB-C equipped iPhone, Anker's Nano power bank with an integrated foldable USB-C connector is an appealing choice -- and it also charges Android devices (or anything with a USB-C charging port).

This 5,000mAh power bank weighs in at 3.5 ounces, or 100 grams. It features 22.5W of fast charging power with the option to charge two devices at the same time if you plug a cable into the power bank's USB-C in/out charging port. (Charging two devices simultaneously divides the charging power in half, delivering 11.25W to each device.)

The Anker Nano power bank is available in multiple color options and also comes in a version with a Lightning connector for older iPhones that delivers 12.5W of charging power.

Less well-known battery companies, like Ugreen and Baseus, are trying to take on Anker on Amazon with value power banks like this Qi2 magnetic wireless charger. It's fairly slim for a 10,000-mAh battery and offers up 15-watt wireless charging and 20W wireless charging if you plug the battery into a 20W or higher power adapter. This power bank can charge an iPhone 16 almost twice and is one of the more affordable Qi2-certified power banks.

If you're looking for a beefier portable battery option, Anker's 10,000-mAh Nano power bank is one of the better values out there, with an integrated USB-C cable. It's not huge, but it's certainly on the larger side and can be used to charge multiple devices (along with the USB-C cable, there are also USB-C and USB-A out ports). The battery charges your devices at up to 30 watts. I also appreciated the LCD that shows precisely how much battery life is available.

The Anker MagGo power bank 10K has a 10,000-mAh battery that can fully charge most iPhones around 1.75 times. It's Qi2-certified, which means it offers 15-watt fast charging capabilities and is fully MagSafe compatible, offering twice the speed of standard 7.5-watt wireless chargers for MagSafe-enabled iPhone 13, 14 and 15 models and Android smartphones that support 15-watt wireless charging.

Available in five color options and not much bigger than the MagGo Power Bank 6.6K, this model has a retractable kickstand and an LCD that displays the remaining battery life. It comes with a USB-C cable, but you'll need a USB-C charger with more than 15-watt output to hit those 15-watt charging speeds. You can take the power bank on the go or leave it plugged in to use as a wireless charging stand when at home. Like the 6.6K version, it's fairly pricey at launch but will hopefully get some discounts as more competitors hit the market. For those looking for a higher-capacity battery, the MagGo power bank 10K is probably a better choice than the MagGo power bank 6.6K. But I do like the foldable stand a little better on the power bank 6.6K.

Thanks to Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology, chargers have been getting more powerful while shrinking at the same time. The latest example of that trend is Anker's new line of GaNPrime chargers with next-generation GaN 3 technology that the company says is even more energy-efficient. The Anker power bank 733, combines a 65W charger with a 10K mAh portable battery, is part of the new GaNPrime line. It's pretty compact for what it is and offers two fast-charging USB-C ports and one fast-charging USB-A port. You can charge up to three devices at once, but note that to get a full 65W charge for a laptop, you'll have to plug in just the laptop. 

If you're looking for a compact external battery pack for your iPhone (or any smartphone), Mophie's pocketable Power Station Mini (2022) features a 5,000-mAh internal battery and 20-watt USB-C PD fast charging. (You'll need a USB-C to Lightning cable to take advantage of that fast charging if you're an iPhone owner.) That battery will allow you to fully charge your iPhone.

For $20 more, you can pick up the 10,000-mAh version with dual USB-C ports -- both come in black or blue colors. Also, note that Zagg, Mophie's parent company, offers a 20% discount off your first purchase, so that model (it's simply called the Power Station) is actually $50.

Nimble's updated Champ portable charger uses recycled plastic in its construction. You have to pay a bit more for going green, but it's a nice, compact 10,000-mAh charger that features 20-watt PD fast-charging with dual USB-C ports (one on either side of the power bank) that allow you to charge two devices at the same time. If you are charging two devices, your charging speeds will be limited to 10 watts per device.

You can get Anker's 621 magnetic power bank for less than half the price of this model (it's a 5,000-mAh power bank). But it only charges your iPhone at 7.5W when charging wirelessly while this model charges at 15W since its a Qi2 charger. The Anker MagGo power bank also has double the battery capacity (10,000mAh), which means it can charge an iPhone 16 almost twice. But it is quite a bit more expensive and heats up a little when charging. That said, it's relatively compact for a 10,000 mAh power bank weighing 7.05 ounces or 200 grams and measuring .58 inches thick. It also offers even faster 30W wired charging from its USB-C port, which means it can also provide some juice for a MacBook Air in a pinch.
