Best portable battery packs for iPhone 2022

Small and speedy

We’ve reviewed the Zendure SuperMini Lightning, and love this credit card sized battery pack for its fast charging and 20W, USB-C, power delivery. It can charge your iPhone 14 from 0% to 50% in 30 minutes. It features two ports: one USB-C and one USB-A port that has ZEN+2.0 technology, so it’s compatible with all quick charge 3.0 devices. It comes in a large array of colors and has a 10,000mAh battery in a compact, portable, package.

Built-in Lightning cable

The iWalk mini portable battery pack features a built-in lightning cable, making it the perfect iPhone companion on the go. No need to carry any extra cables — score! It can fast charge your iPhone 14 up to 40% in 30 minutes. You can charge an iPhone 8 up to four times, and an iPhone 14 up to two times when iWalk has 100% battery. It’s compact, lightweight, and has a 9,000mAh battery capacity.

Sleek and speedy

The Anker Portable Charger features a slim design with big 10,000mAh power. It offers versatile charging where Anker’s exclusive PowerIQ and VoltageBoost technology combine to detect and deliver a tailored charge up to 12W, while the trickle-charging mode is the best way to charge low-power devices. It has overcharge, short circuit, and temperature control protection, so you never have to worry about overheating or overcharging.

Best overall

This power bank is fast, simple, and inclusive of all devices. It can have your iPhone XS or newer charged to 50% in just 30 minutes or it can fully charge your MacBook. Many reviewers have tested this product to the max, and it has risen to the challenge. This is one of the best portable battery packs for just about anyone's iPhone.

MagSafe solution

We love how Apple's own MagSafe Battery Pack attaches magnetically to any iPhone 12 series or newer iPhone. In our review, we noticed how thin and light it is compared to other battery packs, and how nice it feels in hand. Note that with only 1,460mAh of power, you'll get a power boost, but not a full iPhone charge.

Another MagSafe option

Another MagSafe option to consider for your MagSafe-compatible iPhone is the mophie snap+ juice pack mini. When we reviewed this one, we noted that it's thicker than Apple's, but at 5,000mAh, it definitely packs more power. It's also quite a bit cheaper.

The power of the sun

Campers and outdoor adventurers, when you don't have ready access to electricity, a solar charger is a great way to keep your iPhone charged and ready at all times. This solar charger even has two USB-A ports, so you can charge two iPhones (or other devices) at once.

Pocket-size

This is a slim option with a built-in Lightning cable, so there's no need for you to carry one around with you. With 10,000mAh, it should be able to juice up your iPhone more than once. It comes in black or white.

LED Screen

Getihu's portable charger has an LED screen to let you know where it's at on battery percentage. It's lightweight, compatible, and easily portable. Most importantly, however, it is well-reviewed by people who have purchased this device and used it, so you know you are getting a trustworthy device.

MagSafe battery plus stand

The Anker MagGo 622 Magnetic Battery offers 5,000mAh of power and 7.5W fast charging. Our review details the integrated kickstand, which makes it a convenient two-in-one purchase for owners of an iPhone 12 or newer. It's an iMore favorite, particularly for travel. We like being able to watch videos on an airplane, and this battery plus stand is ideal for that.

Warms the hands

OCOOPA combines the functionality of a hand warmer with a 5,200mAh battery in one compact device. Take it on your next camping trip and get three levels of warmth, plus you can charge your phone at the same time.

All-in-one solution

The myCharge HubMax is a fantastic solution when you use multiple devices. It holds 10,050mAh of charge, has a built-in micro USB, and includes Lightning cables. Plus, it comes with a USB-A port for additional devices. The HubMax also has its own folding wall outlet plug so that you can plug it in directly too!

Charge three at once

Charge up to three devices at a time with this lightweight, compact, inexpensive option. Three ports include two USB-A ports and one USB-C port. It also works as a flashlight. With 10,000mAh of power, you'll get a lot of bang for your buck.

Ultra compact

If you don't have a lot of room in your bag and don't want to mess with cables, consider this tiny power bank that plugs directly into your iPhone's Lightning port. Though it's only about the size of a lipstick, you can get up to a full iPhone recharge or more, depending on which iPhone you own.

Credit card-sized

You can grab this fun and slim TravelCard that's made specifically for iPhone with a built-in Lightning cable. The 1,500mAh battery won't give you a full charge, but it should help you make it to the end of the day, which is all you can expect out of a credit card-sized battery pack.
