The faux leather stand took me a few goes to work out how it works, but once you’ve mastered it, it’s easy.

The Moft Snap Stand Power Set is a clever combination of magnetic battery pack with a detachable stand that also holds up to three travel or credit cards. It ships with a 1m USB-C cable, although it’s old-school USB-A on the wall-plug end.

This UAG portable magnetic charger beats Apple on having a handy built-in kickstand and a choice of colors, as well as faster charging at 7.5W. The battery capacity appears a lot larger in the specs, but Apple’s smart magic means they both tested in real life around the same–raising a dead iPhone to just over 60% charge. Like the Apple Battery Pack, it’s not the highest capacity battery on test here, but it is dinky-just a little larger and heavier than Apple’s.

The Anker battery charges wirelessly at 7.5W–faster than Apple’s 5W charge, although the Apple battery can use the wireless Qi and cabled USB-C power simultaneously to speed charging at up to 15W.Ĭolors: Black, Deep Ocean, Marshmallow, OrchidĪ third-party alternative to Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack is Urban Armor Gear’s Lucent Wireless Portable Charger. As its battery is larger than Apple’s, it actually loses a little more but has plenty in reserve to make up for this. The Anker battery is rated at 19.13Wh (5,000mAh) but, like all the other wireless chargers loses a decent chunk of that power to environmental factors.

In our battery tests, the 622 managed to charge a drained iPhone to 80% of full power, which is a significant jump on Apple’s MagSafe Battery Case and the UAG Lucent Charger (also with kickstand) that both powered the iPhone to just 60%. The stand folds away so that it can be popped in a pocket to be magnetically clamped to the phone when you need it most – and operates just like the Apple battery pack. The Belkin BoostCharge 5K, reviewed above, has a tougher metal pull-out stand, and also offer another 10% of charge on the better-looking Anker 622. We love that the Anker 622 comes with its own built-in fold-out stand, which with MagSafe’s pulling power will hold your iPhone securely in either portrait/vertical or landscape/horizontal mode. It works with all MagSafe iPhone, but sits a little over the smaller iPhone mini when magnetically attached. The Anker MagGo 622 Magnetic Battery is cheaper than the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack, has a larger battery capacity and is available in multiple muted colours: white, purple, green, blue and gray. Everyone else gets either Black or White models to choose from.Ĭompatibility: All iPhone 12, 13 and 14, except mini The Pink and Purple colors are available in the U.S. It also beats Apple’s 5W wireless charging with 7.5W when clamped to the back of an iPhone, and while it doesn’t hit 15W on simultaneous wired and wireless charging like the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack, it can be charged with a cable at a chippy 10W. We still love the Anker 622 but the Belkin wins the battle of the MagSafe kickstand power banks. The Belkin’s kickstand is easier to use and feels more robust, and the battery pack itself is marginally smaller.

Both have 5000mAh batteries but the Belkin won in our head-to-head tests, recharging a faded iPhone 13 Pro by 90%, compared to Anker’s 80%. The battle to be the best MagSafe-compatible power bank that also boasts a kickstand is a close run thing between the Belkin BoostCharge and the Anker MagGo 622. Output charger: Wireless (7.5W) & USB-C (10W)Ĭolors: Black, White, Lavender Purple (US), Blush Pink (US) Its Apple advantage is its smart features that show onscreen battery power icons and safety features that stop charging when too hot or before the phone’s internal battery could be compromised – meaning it’s good practice to stop charging a phone battery at 90% for long-term battery health.Īvailable in white only, the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack is smarter but more expensive compared to third-party alternatives. Wireless charging isn’t the speediest at 5W, but unlike most other MagSafe chargers, the Apple Battery Pack can charge an iPhone at 15W using a wireless and a Lightning cable simultaneously. While underpowered compared to the competition, it will charge a fading iPhone up to around 60%, which should be enough to get you through the day to when you have access to a power outlet. Output charger: Wireless (5W) & Lightning (15W combined)Ĭompatibility: iPhone 12/13 mini, iPhone 12/13/14, iPhone 12/13/14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 12/13/14 Pro MaxĬompatible with all models of iPhone 12, 13 and 14, the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack is an intelligent and convenient lightweight power pack that magnetically clamps to the iPhone.
