What to consider

• Capacity: 5,000mAh vs 10,000mAh. Expect ~60% wireless delivery efficiency; a 5K pack can give an iPhone ~85–90 percentage points; a 10K will fully charge most phones once and provide a partial second boost.
• Charging standard: MagSafe (Apple name) vs Qi2 (WPC standard). Qi2-certified chargers support up to 15W (Qi2) and new Qi2 25W-certified models support up to 25W when both phone and charger are certified.
• Phone compatibility: iPhones 12+ have MagSafe; iPhone 13+ are Qi2 compatible for max third-party speeds. Newer phones (iPhone 17 series, Pixel 10 Pro XL and other recent flagships) support Qi2 25W. iPhone 16 models may need an iOS update to enable full 25W Qi2 speeds.
• Travel: TSA allows power banks in carry-on if ≤100 Wh (~27,000mAh). Keep banks visible while charging on some airlines; don’t store in checked luggage.
• Extras: Stands, LED readouts, straps, and slim profiles are handy features to consider.

Short comparison vs Apple Air MagSafe Battery

Apple’s Air MagSafe Battery fits only the iPhone Air due to its camera layout and costs more. Anker’s Nano MagGo Slim offers similar thinness, broader phone compatibility and generally lower price.
