iPhone 15/16 Power Bank Buying Guide: Compatible Battery Packs

If you’ve recently scooped up an iPhone 15 or 16, you’ve likely noticed one major change. After years of waiting, Apple finally ditched the Lightning port, and made the leap to USB-C. The result is faster charging, better compatibility and less cable clutter. So what does this mean for your old power bank? Well, you don’t necessarily need to get a new one but you might have to.

 In this blog, we’ll walk you through what to look for when buying a power bank for iPhone 15/16, with real product recommendations.

● Features a USB-C port for input and output.

● Power Delivery (PD) Support

● Offers at least 10,000mAh of capacity for all-day use

 Let's get into some of our top favorites.

Power capacity vs. weight

Most small power banks start at 5,000mAh. That’s usually enough for one full iPhone charge. If you have a later model, it may not give a full charge, but it comes close.

If you need more power, you can find chargers with 10,000mAh or more. They’ll charge your phone multiple times. However, it’s also worth remembering that they’re bigger and heavier. This matters if you plan to carry your charger in a purse, backpack, or pocket while on the go.

Final Tips Before You Buy

● Need speed? Go for a USB-C power bank iPhone 15/16 with at least 20W PD.

● Hate wires? Try a magnetic wireless power bank with 15W wireless charging.

● Travel often? Choose a hybrid charger to save space.

● Like simplicity? Built-in cables = fewer things to lose.

Bottom Line
