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
