In tests, the Belkin BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank with Qi2 15W 5K recharged iPhone Pro batteries to 79%. Macworld liked the vibrant color options and the built-in kickstand. Apple Store pricing runs above other retailers, and 5K won't carry you through extended use away from an outlet. It fits people who want a stylish, portable MagSafe charger that doubles as a stand for hands-free viewing.

Ranked #3 in Best MagSafe Power Banks

Native Union (Re)Classic Power Bank

4.3

2 sources1 derived$70as of Oct 4

The Native Union (Re)Classic Power Bank is thin enough and stylish enough that you can leave it stuck to your iPhone. iMore's Gerald Lynch praised the 5,000mAh capacity and 15W wireless charging and said its slim profile means it can stay attached permanently. The unit iMore reviewed skipped the newer Qi2 standard, though Native Union now lists the model as Qi2 certified. Colors include black, kraft yellow, and slate green, and a braided USB-C cable is included. Buyers who care about aesthetics and portability more than charging speed are the fit.

Strengths

— Slim design at only 8.6mm thick and 123g weight
— 5,000mAh capacity sufficient for full iPhone 15 Pro charge, per iMore
— Textured Yatay material provides grip and feels like leather, iMore says

Watch-outs

— The unit iMore reviewed was not Qi2, so it missed the faster charging the newer standard offers
— Charging speed limited by temperature management in slim design

How they stack up

Belkin BoostCharge Pro Qi2 15W Magnetic Power Bank 5K

The Belkin BoostCharge Pro excels in battery performance with 79% recharge capability, outperforming the Anker MagGo and UGREEN models, but it's more expensive than the Native Union (Re)Classic and lacks the slim profile of the latter. While it offers a kickstand like the Mophie Snap+, it's less portable.

Native Union (Re)Classic Power Bank

The Native Union (Re)Classic Power Bank is the slimmest option at 8.6mm thick, but it has limited charging speed compared to the Belkin BoostCharge Pro and Mophie Snap+. Unlike the Anker MagGo, it doesn't feature a foldable stand, and unlike the Baseus model, it lacks a 20W PD USB-C port for fast device charging.
