Hello!

Since this battery is being sold in the official Apple Store, I was wondering if it has any sort of technology like the OG Apple Battery pack that knows exactly how to distribute the power (or were those rumors?).

I used to own this model and really liked it for the convenient size, but I lost it. Now I'm planning on buying a new one, but I am not sure if I should stick to this model or opt for another one.

Thinking of getting a magsafe powerbank and came across this one. I’m looking for a thin and light preferably 5k or lower power bank, was wondering if the new qi2 5k slim from anker is worth it.

If anyone has experience with this anker one, was this any good/worth the price? Does it wirelessly charge at 15W, gets super hot? How does it compare to other similar magsafe batteries?

Open to other recommendations, I’m prioritising lightness, could be more compact but thicker, Qi2 is a plus but don’t want anything that runs super hot.

As the title says, I was so disappointed, and for £50!! The colour, design, and texture was so nice - but in terms of usability is awful. Yes, it's compact, pockatable, and comfortable, but it heated up like a microwave, to the extent it would stop the phone from charging a few minutes in (after barely any actual charge). It was slow too. For £50, I felt robbed. I wouln't even pay a tenner for it.

Apple took it back without fuss, and I went off to get the ESR 10k Ultra-compact (not the one with the kickstand) for only £20, and my goodness the difference in quality is night and day despite the price difference.

I'm typically very sceptical of third party battery procuts (hence why I thought the Anker would be a safe bet, being sold only in the Apple store and whatnot) - but wow this is incredible, for £20. Above all else, this ESR batterypack manages heat MUCH better, and isn't really uncomfortable despite being a bit bigger (really, it's compact for a 10k capacity pack). Colours and matreial texture are awesome too, doesn't look or feel cheap. The Anker might've been comfortable in the hand design wise, but not heat-wise that's for sure.

Just sharing my experience here - we truly are in a weird time where cheaper products from lesser known brands can be significantly better than well known brands lol.
