%%Anker Power Bank 633.%% Bulkier than the Apple one, but with an extra kick...stand.

Small blue power bank with kickstand, plus a phone charging on it

The Pros

  • While it's bulkier than the Apple version (now discontinued), it also packs a fair bit more juice.
  • It charges via USB-C (vs lightning), meaning that if you have other USB-C devices, you have one less cable to carry. The extra USB-A port also lets you plug in other devices to charge.
  • The combination of Magsafe and a simple flip stand makes it handy in a lot of situations, like watching a show in landscape mode while commuting, all the while keeping your battery charged.

The Cons

  • The dimensions of the thing will likely put off some, especially as when paired with the iPhone in your jeans pocket it can feel like you're carrying around a brick. Backpack warriors should be fine though!

Essa's Tips

  • If you don't mind a dynamic setup (vs a fixed charging station), the Anker 633 can not only be used as battery when travelling, but also as a charging stand when you’re at home.
