Anker. I have a non magsafe case and it can actually be used to charge the phone with a wire.

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

The Apple one because the others don’t look as nice nor do they properly fit my 13 Mini. The Apple one has plenty of juice. It’s just a means to extend my battery on days with lots of photo or video taking. More capacity wouldn’t even benefit me.

The convenience factor is very high. They charge very fast - I believe faster than if you plug your phone into a battery pack.
The wired MagSafe charger, charges INSANELY & unbelievably fast. I too thought it was a gimmick until I bought a few MagSafe accessories.
The hype is real. :-)

If you have an iPhone, start using MagSafe accessories. I regret that it took me as long as it did to get on the bandwagon.
They are awesome!!
The wired MagSafe charger charges your phone unbelievably and insanely fast!!

It's possible that your port needs cleaning. I have seen tons of lightning ports get caked full of lint and dust. I recommend using a tool like PurePort to clean your cables and port.
I'm not sponsored...I just really like their product.

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!

I’m curious why you want to go the MagSafe route. I’ve been tempted to buy one more for the novelty then anything else. Is there a benefit to a MagSafe charger I don’t know about?

I like the official apple one. I’ve used others and they don’t work as well as the apple one. I like that it keeps my phone around 90% until the battery is dead. If I know I’ll be burning through phone battery I usually throw it on at the start of the day and remove it once it’s dead.

This is all great advice about the power banks. Explain to me which ones you can take on a flight with you. Thank you.
