Having personally recently tested a bunch of MagSafe power banks for an upcoming piece, let me tell you that it’s tough to find a low-cost model that offers a bunch of features. Anker’s 10,000mAh Zolo power bank is an exception to the rule, with its built-in, braided USB-C cable, MagSafe magnets to stay attached to your iPhone, plus a kickstand to hold your phone upright as it charges. The black and white versions are currently $39.99 ($10 off) at Amazon, which is their biggest — and only — discount since late 2025. The black version is $44.99 at Newegg with offer code EDF25447 used at checkout.
While the charger only offers Qi 7.5W speeds to iPhones (well below the 25W peak wireless charging speeds of most newer iPhones), it’s fast enough to keep your device topped up while you work, or as you’re watching videos. It’s plenty speedy with wired charging, though, delivering up to 30W of power via USB-C. It can charge three devices at once — one via wireless charging, one with its built-in cable, and another with its spare USB-C port — but the total speed will drop to 15W. Again, not bad at all if you just want to keep your devices afloat.
