Apple iPhone 11 series was revolutionary due to its premium photography features. Portable chargers for iPhone 11 Pro Max, 11 Pro, & iPhone 11 are a must for travellers, commuters and general users for peace of mind during travel and long sessions of phone use.

Fast charging iPhone 11 & 15/14/13/12/XR/XS/X series  from zero to 60% in 30 mins

All iPhones after the iPhone 8 series – iPhone 15/14/13/12/11, XS, XR, X, 8, 8+ support 18 watt or higher fast charging over USB-C PD (Power Delivery). This means you can charge your iPhone 15/14/13/12/11/XR series phones from 0 to 55-60% in just 30 minutes using a USB-C to Lightning Cable and a USB-C PD portable charger or USB-C PD power adapter , as well as any Macbook USB-C adapter. However, the stock Apple 5-watt adapter that comes with your iPhone 11, XS, XR/X/8/8+ will NOT fast charge your iPhone. The iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max (but not the iPhone 11) come with fast-charging 18-watt USB-C PD chargers. The latest iPhones  do not come any charger in box  but you can easily get an inexpensive good USB-C charger for iPhone 15/14/13/12.

Best Portable Charger for iPhone 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 11, XR, XS Max, XS, X, & iPhone 8, 8 Plus


Anker PowerCore Slim 10000 PD (USB-C PD Fast Charging, 2-3 charges)

Anker PowerCore Slim 10000 PD is currently our top choice for all fast-charging all iPhone 11 series phones at their fastest possible speed. This compact and rugged portable charger fast-charges all the latest iPhones including all iPhone 13/12 & 11 series phones, and the XR, XS, X, 8, 8+ from zero to 60% in just 30 minutes with a USB-C to Lightning Cable . PowerCore Slim 10000 PD also fast charges older iPhones at twice the speed of regular Apple 5-watt charger from its second port (regular USB port).

A great feature of PowerCore Slim 10000 PD is that even if you have an older iPhone (iPhone 7, 7 Plus or older) that does not support PD fast-charging, you can use it as a future-ready portable charger as it has both USB-C PD and regular USB charging ports. This is because the regular USB port will fast-charge older iPhones (7, 7+, 6, 6s, 6s+, 6+, SE, 5s) at twice the speed of Apple 5-watt iPhone charger and when you upgrade in future, the USB-C PD port will fast-charge the latest iPhone 13/12, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, XR, X, 8, 8+ at 18-watt or zero to 60% in 30 mins.

  1. Hi!
    First of all I would like to give a great credits to you, seriously you should start a youtube channel making videos to giving out this knowledge. You really helping people like me who need to have a better knowledge/understanding in deciding purchasing of a powerbank! Fabulous job man!

    Getting to my question – Is it necessary to change to the newest Anker PowerCore Essential 20000 PD Portable Charger from my previous Powerbank Anker PowerCore Speed 20000 PD, 20100mAh Portable Charger? I’m currently using Iphone X now.

    1. Hi Samuel,
      If you already have a PowerCore Speed 20000 PD, then the new PowerCore Essential 20000 PD does not offer anything new to you as far as charging iPhone X (or any new iPhone) is concerned. Both will fast-charge iPhone X/XR/11 etc. at same 18-watt speed.

      Thanks.

  2. Hello, I’m looking for a new power bank as I switch to iPhone 8 Plus and need at least 2 ports – one for me, one for my wife’s iPhone 11 pro max. And price-wise looks like Anker Powercore 1000 PD ($45) is not the best option. So I’ve started looking for bigger capacity ones like Anker PowerCore Essential 20000 Portable Charger, 20000mAh ($49) as that’s the only one that comes without a bundle. Is there any major difference between Essential vs Speed vs PowerCore+ series? Thanx

    1. Hi Sergei,
      Anker PowerCore Essential 20000 PD is a close match for your requirements (but with one port) for iPhone 8 Plus and 11 Pro Max and and is currently available at an excellent price.

      As both your phones (iPhone 8+ & 11 Pro Max) support PD fast charging, we suggest you avoid the PowerCore Essential portable charger (without PD in the name) that you have mentioned as it does not offer USB-C PD fast charging and costs nearly the same.

      Also, if you require 2 ports, then we suggest considering the excellent Luxtude PowerRapid PD Powerbanks – Luxtude PowerRapid 10000 , PoweRapid 13000, and PowerRapid 20000. All three offer PD fast charging output for your iPhone 8+/11 Pro Max, have 3 charging ports, and offer excellent quality at a very good price, and even come with a good wall charger as extra.

      Differences among four Anker 20000mah powerbanks in short
      – Essential comes with USB-C charging port for charging power bank but does not offer USB-C PD output or input.
      – Essential PD has PD USB-C Input and Output as well as Quickcharge 2.0 output

      Thanks!

      1. Thanks for the answer. Still thinking more about 10000. Can you help me undestad the difference between redux pd and RAVPower 10000 pd. The price difference is huge 46 vs 27. Thanx

        1. For charging iPhones, feature-wise there is almost no difference between RAVPower 10000 PD and Anker PowerCore 10000 PD Redux as both are USB-C PD 18-watt input/output power banks. RAVPower 10000 PD does have two extra features- Quickcharge capable USB port and Quickcharge capable micro-USB port for charging power bank. However, If you just want the better of the two for charging iPhones then clearly has better build quality overall – for both charging circuits and Li-ion cells. RAVPower 10000 PD is a perfectly great portable charger for the money and of course offers much more value for money.

          Thanks
