The topic MagSafe battery banks: Best picks for your iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and more<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

With iPhone Air, Apple reintroduced the MagSafe battery pack. It\u2019s $99, and optimized specifically for iPhone Air. It\u2019s rather slim, though it\u2019s rather weak in capacity \u2013 making Qi2 alternatives all the more interesting. We\u2019ll be delving into the top options on the market, just in case you want a higher capacity MagSafe battery for your iPhone, or aren\u2019t buying the iPhone Air.<\/p>\n

Since Apple opened up the MagSafe standard as Qi2, third parties have been able to make MagSafe chargers with support for 15W of charging. Prior to that, third parties only offered 7.5W with the initial Qi standard.<\/p>\n

Another interesting fact: Apple\u2019s iPhone Air MagSafe battery only supports up to 12W of charging, despite the iPhone Air supporting up to 20W of charging with MagSafe. That actually means third-party options are stronger in the charging speed department. We\u2019ll be delving into those.<\/p>\n

First things first is the Anker Nano Power Bank. This one is the mid-range option on the list, but it comes first because I\u2019ve had tons of hands on time with it and can speak with first-hand experience with how thin it is, as well as how premium it feels. The form factor is rather remarkable, and likely serves as the closest alternative to Apple\u2019s MagSafe battery. Read my full review here.<\/p>\n

It charges your devices at 15W thanks to Qi2, offers 5000mAh of capacity, and runs cooler than the competition. You can pick one up in black or white for $54.99 on Amazon.<\/p>\n

While I haven\u2019t personally spent time with this battery bank, I have spent enough time with other Baseus products to know that this will likely be a good option. It\u2019s the cheapest option on this list, coming in at just $24.99 currently. It\u2019s similarly thin to the Anker one, while offering 5000mAh of capacity.<\/p>\n

Main caveat here is the fact that this power bank doesn\u2019t support Qi2, so you\u2019ll be limited to 7.5W of charging speed. That could be rather annoying if you\u2019re trying to recharge your phone in a pinch, though you can also use a USB-C cable for 20W of wired charging if it truly comes down to it.<\/p>\n

This UGREEN option isn\u2019t as thin as the others, but it\u2019s here for good reason. It offers 10000mAh of capacity, and it also supports Qi2.2. That enables it to recharge devices at up to 25W, and isn\u2019t yet widely supported on the market. You\u2019ll need an iPhone 16 or later to utilize Qi2.2.<\/p>\n

If form factor isn\u2019t your biggest concern, and you just want the most battery capacity in a MagSafe battery, this is the best choice. Just like all of the other options, it also supports 30W wired charging through the USB-C port, faster than others on the list \u2013 and it also has a built in USB-C cable if you need it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s available on Amazon on $59.99, and comes in neat colors like orange and blue to match the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air respectively.<\/p>\n

Unlike everything else on this list, this Belkin 25W battery bank has a secondary MagSafe ring on the back, allowing you to attach another MagSafe accessory whilst using the battery. It\u2019s great if you use a MagSafe wallet, continuity camera, or anything similar \u2013 though this doesn\u2019t support charging. You\u2019ll still need to charge the battery bank with a cable.<\/p>\n

That said, it packs 10000mAh of capacity, and also has a nifty kickstand on the back for propping up your phone on a table. It\u2019s a little chunky, but not at all unmanageable. There\u2019s a nifty LED display on the side that\u2019ll show the exact battery capacity as well. You can read my full hands-on coverage here.<\/p>\n

If you want to pick one up, it\u2019s available for $99.99 on Amazon in black and white.<\/p>\n
