Which third party power bank for iPhone 12 Pro

[jwar1976]

Hi all, now that I have started being able to take longer train rides now, I am finding battery power on my iPhone 12 to drain more quickly with web surfing, music, and use of maps when I am at a destination. So it got me thinking about getting a power bank., but am unsure which third party one to get. So far there is the iwalk 4500mah which plugs directly into the iPhone without cable, a iwalk MagSafe compatible power bank at 6000mAh, and then there is the old fashioned power bank that charges via cable.

Has anyone here had any experience with any of these or can suggest a decent alternative that isn’t too heavy in the pocket or wallet ?

Many thanks

The iwalk looks pretty nifty. I have always used Anker.

Which Anker would you recommend ?

Anker makes a “MagSafe” battery now, I own that and use it more then the other various power backs we have simply because I don’t need to also carry a cable. Much more simple. Trade off is much slower charge speed then a cable would offer.

Thank you I will take a look

It arrived a little while ago, gotta say that I am really impressed as it works a treat with my 3rd party leather case that is also MagSafe compatible. Will give the Anker a decent charge and will give It a good try on Saturday when I will be out all day. Thanks again for your advice

I have both an Anker battery pack and Aukey as well.

Think the Anker is 10,000mah and the Aukey is 20,000.

Just got an Anker Essential 20000 PD, cost was about $60 from Amazon (Best Buy also had them). I used my old iPhone 6s Plus as an extra camera mounted on a tripod with a wide lens for a video shoot last weekend. Knew that the old (original) internal battery would never last long enough, so I just hung the Anker on the tripod and left it connected to the phone. Used a USB-C to lightning cable - not exactly sure, but think I read there's some advantage to using the USB-C port on this device and I already had the cable anyway.

Was very impressed, the phone ran continuously for 4 hours and showed 100% charge at the end, but it barely put a noticeable dent in the Anker, which still had 4 out of 5 LED's lit. But no magsafe or anything fancy, you need to use a traditional lightning cable with either the USB-C or USB-A outlet on the battery pack.

i have been using the Aukey 20,000mAh powerbank for my phones for the past 1 year with no issues so far.

I’ve been using this charging bank for 2 years and haven’t had any issues. I’m able to get several charges before needing to charge the power bank.
