This is why I’ve curated a list of my favorite power banks. I’ve tried to choose them based on varied preferences and budgets. Without further ado, let’s go ahead!
1. Apple MagSafe Battery Pack – Editor’s choice
Capacity – 1460mAh Ports – Lightning, USB Weight – 115g
After introducing MagSafe technology, Apple has completely redefined its ecosystem. Now, you’ll find multiple accessories for your phone that work on magnetic charging. With the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack, you get one of the best battery banks for your iPhone. The power bank comes with a magnet that can easily attach to any of your MagSafe cases. Moreover, it’s compatible with all the latest iPhones (iPhone 12 series and above), thanks to its compatibility with a Lightning cable and USB-C power adapters. You can use the battery pack with a 20W power adapter for fast charging. There’s also a 15W wireless charging option with the Lightning cable. It also provides certain ease of use, with no need for switching it on or off. Furthermore, the charging doesn’t interfere with your wallet case either. The only major issue with this battery pack is that it’s quite expensive.

Expensive Adapter and cable are sold separately
2. Belkin Boost Charge™ power bank – 2-year warranty
Capacity – 10000mAh Ports provided – USB-C, USB-A Weight – 249g
If you haven’t heard of Belkin, you’re probably new to the Apple ecosystem. Belkin has been producing wonderful products for Apple customers for over 30 years. With this Belkin power bank, you’re getting a certified product meant purely for iPhones. It supports all iPhones and offers fast charging capabilities as well. Moreover, you get a decent 10000mAh capacity for charging your iPhone. There are two ports, with an 18W USB-C port for fast charging. If you’ve got a secondary device, there’s a USB-A port that supports 12W of charging power. Moreover, it comes with a 2-year warranty and a USB-C to USB-C cable. Although, the latter won’t be of much use to charge your iPhone. It’s a heavy power bank, though. If you wanted something lighter, I’d recommend the other options on this list. Also, you’ll have to buy a USB-C to Lightning cable as it comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable.
Perfect for Apple products, especially iPhones Decent battery backup Fast charging capability 2-year warranty
Bulky and heavy Comes with USB-C to USB-C cable
3. iWALK Mini – Small form factor
Capacity – 3350mAh Ports – USB-C, Lightning Weight – 78g
Who would’ve thought that in 2022, we’d have power banks for iPhone that could fit into the palm of your hand? This is exactly the case with the iWALK Mini. It’s a wonderfully small power bank with an in-built Lightning connector for ease of use. Furthermore, the battery capacity isn’t something to scoff at either for a power bank of this size. While it weighs as much as an egg, this power bank provides a 3350mAh battery capacity. This is just enough for you to charge your iPhone in states of emergency. Needless to say, portability will never be an issue with this power bank. Besides, it has the Pass-Through charging function, which can charge both your iPhone and power bank at the same time. Of course, with a power bank of this size, you won’t get fast charging speeds. So, if you opt for this product, you’ll have to be patient with charging times.
Small and lightweight In-built Lightning connector For the size, it provides a good battery capacity Portable Pass-Through functionality
Charging speeds aren’t great
4. Miady 2-pack – Best for families
Capacity – 10000mAh Ports – USB-C, Micro USB Weight – 218g
When you get the option to get two decent power banks for iPhone at the price of one, why wouldn’t you take it? With this power bank bundle from Miady, you can share the other power bank with your loved ones or keep an extra at home! The power bank comes with a good, unassuming design and doesn’t weigh too much either. In addition, you get a 10000mAh battery capacity that can charge even the latest iPhones at least twice quite easily. The power bank uses a Li-polymer battery far safer than the Li-ion batteries you usually find. You’ll find a couple of ports on the power bank. The first is a USB-C port for fast charging and a Micro USB port for charging the power bank itself. Finally, you also get an 18-month limited warranty! Some customers have reported online that the battery capacity decreases quite rapidly, especially after 3 months. I’d recommend you to keep this power bank as a cheaper option or backup.
Two power banks for the price of one Slim and doesn’t weigh much Li-polymer battery Supports fast charging Great as a secondary option 18-month limited warranty
Battery life doesn’t sustain for too long
5. INIU MegaPower 22.5W – Superfast charging speeds
Capacity – 20000mAh Ports provided – USB-C, Micro USB Weight – 362g
This product from INIU is one of the more futuristic-looking options available today. It comes with an LED display on the body for the battery percentage and has an overall decent build quality. One of the biggest advantages of this battery bank for iPhone is that it can charge up to three devices simultaneously. This is largely because the power bank has an excellent 20000mAh battery capacity. Furthermore, it charges iPhones extremely fast, thanks to the 22.5W power output. For the tech-savvy people here, the power bank uses PD3.0 and QC4.0 technologies for fast-charging purposes. The best part? You get a 3-year limited warranty on this beauty! It’s quite a bulky and heavy power bank, though. You won’t be able to carry this around for long on casual outings or when you’re traveling light.
Futuristic design Good build quality Huge battery capacity at 20000mAh 22.5W power output and qualified with fast-charging certifications 3-year limited warranty
Too heavy to be casually carried around
6. TG90 – Exceptionally convenient
Capacity – 10000mAh Ports – USB-C, Lightning, Micro USB Weight – 210g
The issue with most power banks is that you have to carry multiple cables based on your requirement. With the TG90, you no longer have to. This slim, albeit bulky, power bank comes with in-built Lightning and Type-C cables for more convenience during emergencies. Besides, it’s Apple MFi-certified, perfect for all your Apple devices. The power bank also comes with three different cables to make your charging experience easier. Moreover, you don’t have to worry about the power bank for spills or dust. The body of the power bank uses a UV oil body design resistant to wear and tear. Overall, this is one of the best wireless power banks for iPhone. The instructions on the user manual aren’t great, though. It might take time to understand how the power bank works initially.

7. Ekrist – Massive battery backup
Capacity – 25800mAh Ports – USB-C, Micro USB Weight – 334.5g
Sometimes, fast charging isn’t what you’re looking for in a power bank. Quite simply, you’re looking for a power bank that can last you for days on end. With this product from Ekrist, that’s exactly what you get. The Ekrist power bank for iPhone comes with a gigantic 25800mAh battery capacity. You also get a couple of ports (USB and Micro USB) for fast charging and charging another device simultaneously. Besides, there are four LED lights on the power bank’s body to show the remaining battery. Lastly, the power bank is also future-proof as it comes with a 2-year warranty. However, the charging speeds of the power bank are slow. Your phone will take longer than usual to charge to its full capacity.

8. BLAVOR Solar Power Bank – Eco-friendly option
Capacity – 10000mAh Ports – USB-C, Micro USB Weight – 272g
Considering the situation we’re heading towards, in the name of climate change, companies will have to look towards more eco-friendly products. Thankfully, the BLAVOR solar power bank will help you get a few steps ahead of the curve. This iPhone power bank comes with a 10000mAh battery, a few solar panels on the product’s body, and can be used as a backup option. Of course, there’s a wireless charging facility as well. Additionally, you get two USB ports for charging the power bank and your phone. The power bank is surprisingly sturdy too, being made from ABS materials and includes a lithium-polymer battery for longer shelf life. Moreover, it’s got IPX5 certification for water resistance. Additional features include a compass kit and dual flashlights for adventurers. Unfortunately, the flashlights on the power bank aren’t as powerful as advertised.

9. mophie Powerstation XXL – Best premium option

This isn’t much, but it’s a nifty tool for planning your charging strategies throughout the day. Finally, what makes this power bank worth the bucks is the premium finish. The body features an elegant fabric finish that will resist wear and tear, especially if you’re traveling. The only major issue with this power bank for iPhone is that it’s quite bulky.
