Which MagSafe power bank brand are you choosing for your iPhone 14?
The Apple one is the only one that gives truly optimized charge. And with this I mean thermally, it has a thermal sensor and communicate with the phone to stop charging it when temperature could be an issue. Plus it has the option to charge the phone up to 90% and keeping it there to extend its battery life on a hard day. Keep in mind that this is a battery EXTENDER, not a charger.

Hey everyone, I'm getting an iPhone 14 soon! But before I get one, I’ll need to figure out which MagSafe power bank to choose. There are so many options out there, and I'm not sure which one to go for.
I found an article on choosing the best MagSafe power bank for an iPhone. It explains what to look for in a power bank, like battery capacity, wattage, extra features, and passthrough charging. This was on the list:
-
The ESR HaloLock Kickstand MagSafe Battery (best overall) - they have a 10,000mAh MagSafe power bank with USB-C cable and kickstand, which can charge two devices at once.
-
Anker 633 MagGo 2-in-1 Charging Station (best premium) - It has dual-device charging station that offers 7.5W charging. It also doesn’t have a built-in kickstand on the battery pack and doesn’t allow for simultaneous wired charging.
-
Baseus Magnetic Power Bank (best budget) - It has a 10,000mAh or 6,000mAh battery capacity that supports PD fast charging up to 20W. It also has a small kickstand hidden in the base and an LED display.
-
Apple MagSafe Battery Pack (best official) - It can be charged using a 20W or higher power adapter and can also charge the phone while attached. The battery pack has been getting positive reviews for its reverse charging feature, which allows it to charge wirelessly while attached to the phone.
Have any of you had experiences with any of these brands listed? Let me know what you guys think.

I have the Apple Battery Pack and I like it. The only downside I see with it is that its capacity is very small compared to others you have mentioned on the list.
Apple battery pack should be thought more of a battery extension rather than a power bank(generally speaking). So say, you have 10-20% charge, and you will get it back to perhaps 80% or so without much usage in parallel.
So in this sense, if you want something that brings your phone from 0 to 100, while you are using it, don’t go with the Apple pack.
I'm in the market for a MagSafe battery pack for my iPhone and feeling a little overwhelmed by all the options out there. I'm looking for something reliable, efficient, and ideally not too bulky.
What are your experiences? Any specific brands or models you absolutely love (or hate)?
Looking for the "best" in terms of:
Charging speed
Capacity vs. Size
Durability
Value for money
Any extra features (like pass-through charging, etc.)
I don't need an expensive one with a lot of charge or fast charging. I just don't want it to get too hot. I've mainly been looking at the Anker 621 and MOFT's stackable one.
