That's where iMore comes in. We are here to sort through the huge range of portable battery packs and pick out a few for you to choose from.
Our best choice right now is UGreen's 25,000mAh power bank, as it combines value with charge capacity but the ESR HaloLock has a really smart design for magnetically charging, and Apple's own battery looks the best out of the whole list.
Here are the best portable battery packs for iPhone right now and what sets each of our choices apart from the other.
Quick list
UGreen's 145W power bank is a solid choice. It offers 25,000mAh of juice, and one of its three ports offers 100W charging speeds over a USB-C connection, making it great for reviving an iPhone more than five times from a single charge of the bank. It's a premium option, but worth the expense given the quality on show.
The Anker Portable Charger features a slim design with big 10,000mAh power. It offers versatile charging where Anker’s exclusive PowerIQ and VoltageBoost technology combine to detect and deliver a tailored charge up to 12W, while the trickle-charging mode is the best way to charge low-power devices. It has overcharge, short circuit, and temperature control protection, so you never have to worry about overheating or overcharging.
We love how Apple's MagSafe Battery Pack attaches magnetically to any iPhone 12 series or newer iPhone. In our review, we noticed how thin and light it is compared to other battery packs, and how nice it feels in hand. Note that with only 1,460mAh of power, you'll get a power boost, but not a full iPhone charge.
The Anker MagGo three-in-one is a super versatile charger, giving you charging options galore. There's a MagSafe charging roundal for your iPhone as well as a built-in Apple Watch charger and an AirPods slot. It's got enough power to charge all three at the same time, making it a great charging traveling companion.
This is a beautifully simple concept executed brilliantly — a MagSafe charger with a useful kickstand so that you can charge your iPhone and watch some Apple TV. It's not the biggest capacity, but there's enough extra to give you a full charge.
The Belkin Boostcharge Pro is an incredibly useful little portable charger. It has a built-in Apple Watch charging puck, so that you can leave your Apple Watch charging cable at home. There's enough power for a full Apple Watch and iPhone charge, so it's perfect for a weekend away or shorter holidays where you might not have access to a plug.

A portable power bank is the best way to ensure your iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, or any of the other best iPhones keeps going until the end of the day. There's nothing worse than being caught in a precarious position with a low battery. Luckily, there are many portable battery pack options to choose from, so you always have backup power on hand.
UGreen's 145W power bank is our current top pick. It's a larger battery pack, but that's because its big charge capacity makes it so. That trade off allows you to fast charge an iPhone up to five times along with some power to spare for your other smaller devices like AirPods, while a fully-charged 25,000mAh max capacity is enough for a MacBook charge, too.
If you have an iPhone 12 or newer, you can take advantage of MagSafe charging with Apple's compact MagSafe Battery and leave the cables at home. The Apple MagSafe Battery is a nice compromise between power and portability. It's compact and super easy to use — no cables needed. Just pop it onto the back of your iPhone and go. If you don't have an iPhone with MagSafe capability but you do have wireless charging (iPhone 8 or newer), you can still use this charger, it just won't stick to the back.
Whether you're looking for something that's capable of charging both your iPhone and your MacBook, need versatility in your ports, or want a great MagSafe option, these are the best portable battery packs for iPhone.
