Best Portable Chargers for iPhone 16, 16e, 16 Plus, 16 Pro , & 16 Pro Max | Power Banks for iPhone 15 series

Quick Summary: Our top pick for iPhone 16/15 series is Anker Zolo 10000 30-watt with in-built USB-C cable. It fast charges iPhone 16/15 series phones from zero to 60% in ~30 mins and gives two 20%  to 100% charges to 16 Pro/16e/16 . It also has a version with Apple MagSafe wireless charging, which can be attached to the back of your iPhone 16/15/14/13/12 while charging wirelessly or with the in-built right-angle USB-C cable.

The latest iPhone 16 series supports up to 30-watt fast charging with adapters or portable chargers. As Apple no longer ships adapters with iPhones, a 20-watt or higher USB-C adapter such as Apple 20w charger, Anker Powerport or AmazonBasics GaN adapter will charge iPhone 16/15 series from zero to about 60% in ~30 mins. Fast-charging USB-C portable chargers for the iPhone 16 series phones will also charge at the same fast speed!

You can also charge iPhone 16 (as well as the 15, 14/13 and 12) wirelessly with magnetically attached MagSafe compatible power banks such as Anker Zolo 10k Wireless or MagGo Wireless.

In 2025, there are 3 top things to look for in a portable charger for the iPhone 16 series –

• 20 to 30-watt USB-C support to charge at fastest supported speed of zero to nearly 60% in about 30 minutes
• An in-built USB-C cable so you do not have to carry a separate cable
• A handy feature for iPhones 16-12 is the Apple MagSafe compatible magnetic attachment to charge while carrying the phone in hand. This feature enables charging wirelessly (or with in-built cable) while the power bank is magnetically attached to your iPhone. Charging with cable increases effective charging capacity by ~30% and charging speed by 2x to 4x compared to wireless charging.

Our top recommendation with ALL above features is the Anker Zolo 10k Wireless . Belkin, Samsung, Sharge, Mophie do have excellent 30-watt 10K portable chargers but inbuilt-cable + MagSafe wireless attachment is still not common. Also, Anker & Samsung powerbanks in our view give same or better quality at lower prices.

Wired charging with inbuilt cable is convenient when charging on the move as you do not have to remember packing the cable or about keeping cable secured at both ends. Inbuilt cable with more secure right-angle USB-C port is even better.

For iPhone 16/15 Pro Max, a 30-watt adapter such as Anker PowerPort Atom or AmazonBasics GaN 30-watt is recommended as the 16/15 Pro Max can be charged at faster 30-watt speeds. A 30-watt charger will charge 16 Pro Max from zero to ~60% in 30 mins while a 20-watt adapter will charge it to about 50% in 30 mins.

Best Wired Fast Charging USB-C Portable Charger for iPhone 16, 16e, 16 Pro, 16 Plus & 15 series

Anker 10000 USB-C 30-watt with in-built USB-C cable

The new 30-watt USB-C power bank from Anker – the Anker 10000 USB-C portable charger is our top choice as fast-charging power bank for all iPhone 16 series phones. This well-built portable charger comes with in-built USB-C cable and fast-charges all the latest 16 series iPhones including iPhone 16, 16e, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max,  and older 15, 14, 13, 12/11 series from zero to 60% in about 30 minutes. 

Anker 10000 USB-C portable charger will give –

• iPhone 16, 16e and 16 Pro – Nearly three recharges  from 20% to 100%
• iPhone 16 Pro Max – Two recharges from 20% to 100%

Anker 10000 USB-C portable charger can be fully recharged in just about 3.5 hours using a 20-watt USB-C PD adapter. You can also use the iPad Pro/Air/Mini or MacBook USB-C adapters to fast-charge the power bank as well. We recommend Anker Nano charger for fast-charging this powerbank and your iPhone 16 series phones. As the iPhone 16 does not come with an adapter, a dual USB-C port adapter for iPhone 16 is a good investment as it will recharge both your iPhone 16 and your fast-charging USB-C power banks at the same time.

Besides the iPhones, Anker 10000 portable charger will also fast-charge most latest Android phones including Samsung Galaxy S25/S24 series, all Google Pixels at speed of about zero to 50% in 30-40 mins.

It does not have wireless MagSafe attachment but still is a great choice.  If you want wired/wireless charging with magnetic attachment then Anker Zolo 10k Wireless for just a bit extra is our top choice.

Best MagSafe Wired + Wireless USB-C Portable Charger for iPhone 16, 16e, 16 Pro, 16 Plus & 15 series

Anker Zolo 10k  30-watt USB-C wired & 7.5 watt Wireless + inbuilt cable (Best Bang for Buck)

Anker MagGo Slim 10K  30-watt USB-C wired & 15-watt Qi2 Wireless (slimmer with faster wireless charging but no inbuilt cable)

Apple’s MagSafe tech available since iPhone 12 onwards lets you attach accessories magnetically to your iPhone’s back. MagSafe wireless power banks are fantastic charging accessories as they free your hands and work without cables, allowing you to charge on-the-move.

This is especially useful when using the phone as camera during traveling as camera consumes lots of battery. With a magnetically attached wireless, or better still wired power bank, you do not have to wait to charge your phone while shooting pics or videos.

Anker Zolo 10k Wireless is our top choice as fast-charging wireless + wired  MagSafe power bank for all iPhone 16 series phones. Anker also has an older similar model with kickstand called Anker 633 which has same capacity but is thicker/heavier and offers slower wired and wireless charging speeds.

Anker also has a very similar premium model called Anker MagGo Slim 10000 USB-C  that is slightly slimmer (half inch vs 3/4 inch) and offers twice as fast (15 vs 7.5 watt) wireless charging.  We however recommend Anker Zolo 10k Wireless as:

• Both have same wired charging speed of 30-watt
• Zolo 10K comes with inbuilt cable so you can charge wired while magnetically attached to the iPhone to get 2x speed & 30% extra battery, compared to wireless charging.
• Zolo 10K costs much less!

Zolo 10K has all features of our #1 wired fast-charging power bank and has additional wireless power bank features for convenience and ease of charging on go.

Please note that wireless charging is about ~30% less efficient than wired charging and will give you less total  recharges than wired charging. So if you are far away from civilization or need maximum possible battery, use your wireless power bank in wired charging mode with the USB-C cable.

In wired mode, both these portable chargers fast-charge all the latest 16 series iPhones including iPhone 16, 16e, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max,  and older 15, 14, 13, 12/11 series from zero to 60% in about 30 minutes.

Anker MagGo Slim 10000 USB-C  supports latest 15-watt Qi2 MagSafe wireless fast-charging supported by iPhone 12 onwards (iOS 17+), which charges the iPhones at speeds nearly as fast as wired speeds.

Anker Zolo 10k Wireless supports 7.5 watt wireless charging which is, to be honest perfectly adequate, as it wastes less battery and causes lower heating. If you want speed, then you can use the inbuilt cable of Zolo 10K to get adapter fast 30-watt speed while attached to the phone.

In wired mode, Anker Zolo 10k Wireless or Anker MagGo Slim 10000 USB-C will give –

• iPhone 16, 16e and 16 Pro – Nearly three recharges  from 20% to 100%
• iPhone 16 Pro Max – Two recharges from 20% to 100%

In wireless mode, it will easily give two 20-100% recharges to 16/16e/16 Pro and two 40-100% recharges to iPhone 16 Pro, 16 Plus.

Anker MagGo Slim 10000 USB-C can be fully recharged in just about 3.5 hours using a 20-watt USB-C PD adapter. You can also use the iPad Pro/Air/Mini or MacBook USB-C adapters to fast-charge the power bank as well. We recommend Anker Nano charger for fast-charging this powerbank and your iPhone 16 series phones. As the iPhone 16 does not come with a charger, a dual USB-C port charger for iPhone 16 is a good investment as it will recharge both your iPhone 16 and your fast-charging USB-C power banks at the same time.

Besides the iPhones, Anker MagGo Slim 10000 USB-C will also fast-charge most latest Android phones including Samsung Galaxy S25/S24 series, all Google Pixels at speed of about zero to 50% in 30-40 mins.

Anker Zolo 10k Wireless Pros

• 30-watt wired USB-C PD output charges new iPhone 16 series zero to 60% in 30 minutes
• MagSafe magnetic attachment while wired or wireless charging
• Also charges iPhone 16, 15, 14, 13, 12/11 series at zero to 60% in 30 minutes
• Also fast-charges latest iPad Pro, iPad mini and Air via USB-C

Anker MagGo Slim 10000 USB-C Pros compared to Zolo 10K

• Slimmer design. It is 0.60 inches thick compared to 0.81 inch of Zolo. Light at 7 oz or 200 gms vs 8.4 oz of Zolo
• 15-watt wireless MagSafe compatible Qi2 fast-charging for latest iPhones compared to 7.5 watt wireless of Zolo

Cons

• Expensive but still a much better deal than other good 15-watt Qi2 with 20 or more watt USB-C 10,000 mAH power banks such as Belkin BoostCharge Pro series
• No inbuilt cable like the Zolo 10K. Comes with separate free USB-C/USB-C cable.

Best Value for Money Wireless+Wired Magnetic Power Bank for iPhone 16

Anker 621 MagSafe Wireless Charger Half speed, half-battery at Half price!

Anker PowerCore 621  is Anker’s most compact MagSafe compatible wireless power bank and is our pick as the best value for money wireless ultra-compact portable charger for all iPhone 16 series phones (as well as 12 to 15 series) . This is a 5,000 mAH battery pack and gives nearly 80-85% charge or twice from 40% to 80%  to iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16e, and about 70% for iPhone 16/15 Pro Max

Anker 621 is Anker’s lower cost wireless charger with 12-watt wired and 7.5 watt wireless charging. If you want faster wired or wireless charging, we recommend Anker MagGo Slim 10000 USB-C 30-watt + 15w Wireless which has double the capacity and double wireless/wired charging speeds.

We do not recommend Anker’s other two 5,000 mAH MagSafe portable chargers. The Anker 321 is too old and Anker 622 cannot be used as wired portable charger.

• It is just 12mm (half-inch) thick. This makes it perfect for handbags and pockets and for holding iPhone and charger in hand while charging
• It attaches to all iPhone 16 and 15/14/13/12 series phones magnetically – This means no hassle of carrying a cable around for power bank. Also means less chance of cable getting loose as the power bank is fixed to powerbank
• PowerCore 621 Magnetic has passthrough charging and has a USB-C input port – same as iPhone 16/15 – for charging the power bank. This means you can directly plug-in your iPhone’s fast-charging USB-C cable to charge the power bank while also charging the iPhone.
• You can also charge your phone in wired mode for 30% greater power back-up and almost double charging speed.

At 4 oz (129 gm), Anker  621 is even lighter than the iPhones.

Anker 621 charges iPhones at 7.5-watt max speed in wireless mode. This means about 20% charge in 30 mins for the iPhone 16/16 Pro.

In wired mode it will give about 30% more battery backup. PowerCore 621 Magnetic features a maximum wired charging output of 2 amps and charges all iPhones almost twice as fast as stock Apple 5-watt phone chargers. In wired mode, It will charge large screen iPhones (all iPhone 16 series ) at speeds of about zero to 50% in around 50 minutes.

The power bank will get fully charged in 2 hours with any iPhone compatible adapter. It has a four-point LED battery-status indicator. The power bank comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable.

Anker PowerCore 621  Pros

• 12 mm ultra-slim design is easy to hold in hand while charging and in pockets/handbags.
• iPhone 16 series, and 15/14/13/12 series compatible magnetic attachment feature charges your phone without any cable or hassle.
• 4 oz (129 gram) weight is great for its battery capacity
• Charges iPhone 16, 16 Pro, 16e, about 80% in wireless mode and one-full charge in wired mode
• Can be fully charged in 2 hours
• Sleek, premium build
• Anti-slip and scratch resistant design.
• Also offers 12-watt wired charging
• Terrific value for money compared to other similar options

Cons

• Offers max 12 watt wired charging. No 18-watt USB-C fast-charging to 60% in 30 mins for latest iPhones. It is a minor con as the battery size is small (5,000m AH) and the slightly slower charging also slightly increases the effective battery capacity in wired mode.
• No inbuilt USB-C cable
