I've always taken a portable charger with me everywhere I go. It's force of habit from about a decade ago when I only bought cheap Android phones with terrible battery life, and I quite like the safety of knowing I'll never run out of juice. But a few years ago I switched to an iPhone 13 , which supports wireless MagSafe charging, so I decided to invest in a charger to match.
That's why I now carry around the Anker MagGo Power Bank which is down to just $62 right now at Amazon, saving you 30% on the regular price, thanks to Amazon Prime Day . Compared to the budget, no-name chargers I used to keep in my bag, the MagGo is a thing of beauty. The roughly credit card sized (but thicker) device doesn't weigh too much (just 0.
55 lbs) but can fully charge my phone twice before it needs a top up. For almost 10 years, I've had to make sure I have the right cables for all my portable chargers. And because there was no easy way to keep them with the device, I'd use rubber bands to keep them together.
The MagGo liberated me from all this hassle. Now, I can just throw the charger in my bag, and when my iPhone needs a quick charge, I just unfold the kickstand, prop it on the desk, and let the power bank do its thing. Anker's charger uses a magnetic connection to keep the phone in place too, which is why it doesn't fall off or stop charging when upright on the kickstand.
In theory, the MagGo also works with Android phones, but there's a catch. Apple's MagSafe feature uses the magnetic conne.
