I use the ESR HaloLock battery that you have listed for my iPhone 14 Pro. I absolutely love it and would recommend. I think I got it for half the price of the apple battery pack on Amazon (Australia).

It makes the phone a bit thick (the battery pack is a little bit thicker than the iPhone) but honestly I either have my phone on the desk or hold on to it, so it doesn’t bother me that much.

Bonus is that it is also USB-C charging and none of that Apple non-usb-c sh*t, which means I can carry just one cord in my backpack for my laptop, phone, headphones and chargers!

EDIT: Made a typo

I chose the apple one. some people say it sucks and I kinda see their point maybe, but for my use case it has been perfect. For me it’s when I forget to charge my phone overnight and don’t have time to wait for it to charge. It’s a perfect stopgap solution until I can get a proper charge, at which time I can also recharge the apple battery. And it charges up really fast. Like it may not have an impressive capacity but it can keep your phone continually juiced up without having to stop to charge the phone itself. Like an inflight refueling. Like how the AirPods case battery can be charging while you use the AirPods so it’s kinda like you never have to charge them because you’re charging the case while using them and the case charges them up so you don’t have to think about it

I got the Anker 621 & love it. I have a couple other power banks that are larger (and non-magnetic, but do support wireless charging) but I am a lot more reluctant to carry & use them because of their bulk. A slimmer power bank you always have on you is obviously much better than a thicker one you leave at home.

I love my 621!
