The best iPhone power bank depends on use: a MagSafe magnetic battery for cable-free top-ups, a slim USB-C Power Delivery bank for everyday carry, a high-capacity battery for travel, or a multi-port bank for charging phone, AirPods, and a laptop together. Capacity in mAh, USB-C PD wattage, and MagSafe magnets are what matter most.

Airlines typically limit power banks to under 100Wh, around 27,000mAh, in carry-on bags. Most travel banks are well under that, but check your bank's rating before flying; capacities over 100Wh require airline approval.
MagSafe magnetic banks snap to the back and charge cable-free, which is more convenient but slower. A slim USB-C Power Delivery bank charges faster in a pinch, so pick based on whether convenience or speed matters more.
Use a bank with at least 20W output and a cable rated for USB-C Power Delivery to fast-charge an iPhone. Lower-wattage banks still work but top up more slowly.
