In that time it took my iPhone 14 Pro Max from 52% to 86% so the full amount of charge my phone got from the battery was 34%.
I was using my phone every now and then so it wasn’t just sitting there unused but I wasn’t sitting there scrolling as it charged.
It got warm within the first 30min but never got hotter than that.
The charger itself looks nice, it’s not too large I can hold my phone pretty comfortably with it attached.
At 40 dollars I’m not sure if it was worth it, but in a pinch it would definitely keep your phone from dying till you could get to a charger.
However it’s never going to bring it from 1% to 100% which is definitely something I was hoping for. Maybe that was unrealistic I don’t know.
Next time I might look for something a little more expensive to get something that offers a bit more power.
I would recommend to do your research on the different charger watts. If you have a newer iPhone look into 20 watt chargers or higher for fast charging. This charger is 7.5 watts so it is considered “slow charging”.
I liked the size and magnet. The battery is small enough that I can still hold my phone comfortably when it's attached. And the magnet is strong enough that it doesn't shake loose when I toss my phone with it attached into my pocket or backpack.
The problem, and why I eventually returned it, is that it charges my phone more slowly than other MagSafe batteries I've tried.
You don't have to take my word for it. That's why my iPhone says when I attach it. It also doesn't trigger the MagSafe animation. That's probably because it's not a true MagSafe charger.
More to the point, it takes about 30% longer to charge my iPhone than other MagSafe chargers, where the issues I just mentioned don't happen.
Update: While the issue persists, the seller did reach out to give me a full refund. They did not ask me to update my review. I appreciated this, so we are going from 1 star to 3 stars.
4stars only because i would love to be a fast charge 25w or at least to charge my phone from 1%- 100% with one charge
Works with my sumsung buds2 pro and buds3 pro as well.
Color is cute and overall looks good.
I’m okay with the capacity until we get to battery life…
Battery life:
the battery life is horrible because when you are NOT using the power bank it just depletes of power on its own without even using it throughout the day. So I have to keep mine charged throughout the day until I actually need to to use it for my phone.
I used to have a $10 battery bank with the same capacity from $5 below and that one although much thicker, at least I knew it would keep its own charge until I needed to use it. That thing would last me a while just sitting there and keep its capacity.
I’m really disappointed on this one from anker since I love their products but I’m thinking I either need to return this one or maybe I got bad luck and it was a faulty one ? Unsure…
This Anker 621 has a lot of promise. The Magsafe feature locks tight and the dimensions do not interfere with the camera protrusions, even with a case on the phone. It's compact and slim, and most importantly, does not require wires. It can be easily carried in a backpack or pocket without an accessory bag for wires and cables.
When I first unpacked the battery, I fully charged with with a USB-C PD charger. It charged at 1A/5V. I used it to inductively charge my iPhone 14 Pro intermittently over the next few days. After about 10% charge, I determined the heat buildup to be intolerable. Therefore, I only used the pack intermittently. That worked fine for me over several days. When the battery was empty, it took 20Wh to fully charge. The battery was advertised for 5000mAh, which is impossible to measure without disassembling the unit. However, we can calculate 20Wh / 5V / 0.9 = 4400mAh (where 0.9 is the efficiency of the voltage converter for USB). This is below advertised capacity, but there’s a lot of assumptions in the conversion.
Then I used a USB-C cable to charge my iPad Mini. It transferred 14.8Wh at about 9 Watts before exhausting. The round-trip efficiency was high, because recharging took 14.8Wh to fully recharge. I suspect I didn’t get the full 20Wh capacity with the iPad because the higher charge demand choked the battery before it could get fully empty.
Using the inductive charge mode, both devices get hot relatively quickly. The switching power electronics get particularly hot. I can easily feel where the transistor is located beneath the plastic shell. The inductive transmitter loop gets warm on the battery and the receiver loop gets warm on the phone. Lithium-ion batteries degrade proportionally to temperature (the Arrhenius relationship), accelerating +25% degradation rate for every 10C, this is bad for the phone.
In summary,
• The battery delivers 20Wh of energy. If using inductive (Qi and Magsafe), much of the energy is converted to heat, so perhaps only 10-15Wh is actually delivered to the battery.
• If using high-current devices using a charge cable, such as an iPad, the high current chokes the battery a bit early, stopping at 15Wh.
• My back-of-the-envelope calculation shows 4400mAh vs. rated 5000mAh. I suspect the battery is not delivering rated capacity. Anker should be rating these batteries in Joules (watt-hours) instead of Coulombs (ampere-hours).
• Inductive charging is inefficient, losing a quarter to half of energy to heat. This is not Anker’s fault but a result of real-world physics. With my iPhone 14 Pro, I saw about 10C rise per 10% of battery charge. I never let it progress beyond this point.
• Lithium-ion batteries accelerate aging degradation due to the Arrhenius relationship about +25% per 10C temperature rise. Therefore, prolonged use of inductive charging will ultimately age your battery prematurely.
• This battery is very worthwhile because I don’t have to carry an accessory kit with wires to use. Just slap it on the back of the phone and go. Plus, if frees the connector to use with wired headsets when using.
Installed on my iPhone 16 Pro Max
This was literally my best purchase ever for my iPhone 16. I’m completely appalled at how strong MagSafe really is (I’m a new Apple user, and didn’t think much of MagSafe prior), but now I see why people walk around with those weird MagSafe phone cases. The color is a very nice matte black, and has a smooth feel.
When I was an android user, I thought everyone was an NPC for walking around with their little MagSafe cases. I didn’t know what it was and never understood it until now. This was the best $40 I’ve ever spent.
On top of that, it’s compatible with AirPods and Apple Watches. It charges fast. Like I said, I didn’t get to play around with it yet, but it’s very promising. I’ll update when I do.
And when I say the magnet is strong, I mean STRONG. I can literally hold the Anker while it’s attached to my phone, and allow my phone to dangle. You literally can’t make it fall off on accident.
And my favorite part; portability and convenience. You have to turn on the Anker with the power button on the bottom, and that means that it won’t charge your phone until you turn it on. This also means that you can have it attached to your phone without worrying about it charging your phone and wasting battery. It’s literally INSANE. It feels no different in my hand when the Anker is attached. Honestly, this is the best $40 you can spend on your iPhone.
——-
Update: Anker reached out and offered a full refund. Upgraded this rating to 3 stars for the outstanding customer service. Will definitely try a different version of the 5000 bank.
1. It has no vertical magnet (the dark vertical line), or if it does it’s incredibly weak. This means the battery can easily rotate on your phone and disconnect. Not a deal breaker just incredibly inconvenient, and requires more regular attention and care.
2. It gets hot hot hot! I bought two of these and both get hot while they discharge. The phone is hot and the battery is hot, making holding the phone uncomfortable at times.
The official Apple battery packs, although they have a smaller battery size have none of these problems
The Anker 621 has decent build quality and feels solid. It’s a bit thinner and lighter than my s/o’s Anker 622 but doesn’t have a stand as a trade off. It charges wirelessly as expected though does get a bit hot.
Overall I’m pretty pleased, the only one strange callout is that if you keep it plugged into a charging cable, (with the wireless charging pad facing up) the right most LED continues blinking giving you the idea that it’s still charging. However, the right most LED is just a charging pad indicator (letting you know it can wirelessly charge a device while the cable is plugged in—acting like a charging pad).
Only the four left most LEDs are the battery level indicator (which turn off when fully charged). This isn’t very intuitive and made me think the battery was bad from the factory.
L’aggancio magnetico funziona alla perfezione. Si attacca saldamente al mio iPhone 13 Pro e rimane ben saldo anche durante l’uso quotidiano. Non ci sono problemi di disconnessione accidentale, il che è una gran cosa per chi vuole continuare a usare il telefono senza interruzioni mentre lo carica.
La capacità di 5000 mAh è sufficiente per una carica completa del mio iPhone, con un po’ di carica residua. Non è pensata per ricaricare il telefono più volte, ma è ideale per dare una ricarica completa quando si è in giro e non si ha accesso a una presa elettrica. Inoltre, grazie al cavo USB-C incluso, è facile ricaricare la power bank stessa in tempi relativamente brevi.
Un altro aspetto che ho apprezzato è il design elegante e minimale. Si integra perfettamente con l’estetica dell’iPhone, senza sembrare un accessorio ingombrante o fuori posto. È disponibile in vari colori, quindi c’è anche un tocco di personalizzazione.
In conclusione, l’Anker 621 Magnetic Battery (MagGo) è una soluzione eccellente per chi cerca una power bank portatile e affidabile per il proprio iPhone 12 o 13. È perfetta per chi è sempre in movimento e ha bisogno di un po’ di energia extra durante la giornata. La qualità costruttiva e le prestazioni sono all’altezza degli standard di Anker, e non posso che consigliarla vivamente.
Spero che questa recensione ti sia utile!
**Update** Anker reached out and resolved my issue with their excellent customer service. This is a great company that stands by its products.
Love not needing a cord to recharge phine
The battery gets hot while charging which slows the charging speed. I measured the temperature of the battery to peak around 119°F using an IR thermometer.
One odd thing about this battery is that it's slightly longer than it should be. So when it snaps onto the back of the iPhone 15 Pro, it extends a few millimeters below the bottom edge of the phone (see pics). Not a big deal and doesn't affect charging, just something I noticed. Dimensions are 105mm x 66mm x 11mm, weight 134g.
The battery capacity is 5000 mAh (iPhone 15 Pro internal battery is 3274 mAh), but only about 70% of that goes into the iPhone due to the lower efficiency of wireless charging (Magsafe, Qi, Et al.) so expect about one full top up with this battery.
An update with my order, The product malfunctioned, but the customer service team handled the situation with exceptional efficiency and professionalism.
Thank you.
More charges, less expensive, cute lavender, but fitting slightly too big vs one charge, more expensive, white only, but perfect fit.
Overall the Anker is the winner for me.
You have to buy it for long trips
Anker reached out and fixed the issue 5/5 customer service
The only thing that keeps this from being perfect is the amount of time it takes to charge the battery itself. It’s not a deal breaker by any means but I wish it charged a little faster for those last minute tip offs.
If your looking for a great MagSafe battery for your iPhone this is a no brainer purchase you won’t regret!!
It automatically starts, charges really well - even with hotel/home wall USB-A > USB-C outlets unlike the massive power banks - and attaches great to our phones (12, 12 mini, 13 Pro, 14 Pro, and 15 Pro Max).
Remember, though, that it's best to use a MagSafe-compatible case, or it will fall off...
Size:
The 621 is thinner but longer than the 321 which, as the product description states, means that the 621 extends (slightly) past the bottom of a non-Max iPhone Pro (tested on a 13 Pro and a 15 Pro). However, for both the 13 Pro and the 15 Pro, once the case was on (Mous Limitless 4.0 on the 13 Pro, Mous Limitless 5.0 on the 15 Pro) the 621 was basically even with the bottom of the case. It may extend past the bottom of a lower-profile case. The 321 does not extend past the bottom of the case but is a bit thicker.
The 321 is a couple of grams lighter than the 621.
Appearance:
The 321 has a smoother, glossy-ish finish but seems to show more scratches when tossed in a backpack pocket with keys. The 621 is a more matte finish and not as slick, which may be a benefit from the standpoint of grip but shows fingerprints more easily. Both chargers are about the same when you put the phone in/take it out of your pocket (occasionally comes loose, depending on how tight your pockets are, but not often). Despite the more rounded edges of the 321 the 621 seems a bit easier to put in a pocket without catching it.
The 321 has a round “power” button with inset 4-light charge level indicator on the face of the charger case. The 621 has separate “power” and 4-light indicators on the bottom (either side of the USB-C charging port).
Notes:
Both have the same nominal capacity and seem to charge at about the same rate. Both allow you to charge a non-MagSafe compatible device (or if you have a non-MagSafe case) using a USB-C cable (provided the charge requirements are similar enough to the iPhone). When attaching to a MagSafe phone/case both start charging the phone automatically, but if using a cable you have to click the “power” button after plugging the charger into the device to activate charging.
I paid about $30 for the 621 ($35 less a $5 promotional coupon) and $25 for the 321. Overall I prefer the 621 as the finish seems higher quality and I prefer the thinner box. However, a $5 price difference makes it about a wash (I would still probably get the 621), but at $10 less the 321 is the winner.
It does get a bit warm and I would still suggest using a cable, if it gets offset from the phone it won’t charge.
It charged my phone from 20% to 60% in about an hour. I was using my phone during that time, and I expect it would charge faster/more fully if you don’t use your phone while it’s charging.
Aesthetically, it’s apple-esque. I actually like the soft touch material so it’s easier to hold, and the blue is close to my iPhone, but not an exact match.
Sadly, this did not work well for that! It did work fantastic for my daughter's iPhone 13.
I may possibly be moding my phone to an integrated MagSafe setup and will retest this then!
With respect t to Battery pack,
Cons: battery pack and iPhone 14 Pro Max heated up and took over an hour to get from 86% to 89% charge. Very slow.
Pros: compact and magnetic strip works great! 😀 weight is not bad fir my needs. It’s all relative to individual discretion about what is and what is not heavy.
Very sturdy battery pack. Product was secured in its box, very well packaged. The downside for me is the speed. However it’s sturdy & compact sized and weight is fine for me.
If you are concerned about the heat, do a web search.
If you are not concerned about slow charge I recommend The Anker.
With regards to delivery date being unexpectedly delayed and you need a next day delivery know that deliveries may be delayed by uncontrollable conditions such as weather, etc.
Again Amazon made things right and I have no complaints about Anker.
It recharges a bit slower than I thought, but other than that, it's the best portable charger I've ever owned.
Price: Anker wins. $37 vs $99 makes it almost 3x cheaper.
Size and Weight: Tie. Surprisingly very similar to Apple in weight. The thickness is pretty much the same which is the most important as you want to be able to use it comfortably while holding the phone and charger. Anker is a bit longer and very slightly wider, but this doesn't really make a difference as it fits on the phone.
Looks and Feel: Apple wins. The Anker feels nice and grippy, but Apple's form factor definitely wins out. I notice that fingerprints definitely show up more on the Anker and not really at all for Apple. This is the least important category for me.
Battery Life: Anker wins. Apple notably doesn't list its battery life for its charger, but it's definitely less than 5000mAh. 5000mAh is enough for a little more than a full charge for my Iphone 14 pro and from my testing (charging up from 10% to 100%), Apple capacity's seems to be about 55-65% of a full charge.
Charging Speed: Tie. They're both pretty slow, but that's a given for wireless magsafe charging.
UI and Battery Advantages: Apple wins. Apple's charger is obviously designed to work with Iphones and it shows with the audio cue for charging, the visual popup for charger percentage, and the ability to charger the battery pack while charging the phone. It also manages heat, stopping if the phone gets too hot and let's you know it won't charge beyond 90% to preserve battery life. Anker has none of that, only a light indicator for battery life and it will keep on charging until it's done. It hasn't gotten unbearably hot, but I would keep to charging in bursts.
Magnet: Apple wins (slightly). I held my phone by the charger for both and shook it side to side and up and down and they both held firm. However, for some reason, Anker's doesn't seem to have the small magnet under the circle one like Apple does. This makes it so you can slightly turn the charger, but this doesn't really matter.
Conclusion: My personal preference is the Anker. Apple's small improvements really aren't worth being 3x the price. I value being able to hold the phone comfortably while charging and knowing that the battery will last me through the day if I forgot to charge my phone last night and Anker does that, arguably even better than Apple does. Heat isn't really an issue for me because I only charge in short bursts of time anyway (~30 minutes). Apple's charger pack is meant more for keeping your battery topped up so it only drops a bit during the day, not for charging up from a low amount which isn't my preferred use case.
I tested both by dropping by iPhone battery to 50%. The Apple MagSafe took 1 hour 30 minutes to charge phone up to 91% and the MagSafe was at 0% power. I did the same with Anker 621 and after 1 hour 30 minutes it also changed my phone to 91%, but the Anker still had about 50% power left.
Overall I’ve had better and longer charging life with Anker compared to Apple which I didn’t. I’ll use the MagSafe as a backup.
Pros:
1. The item is well made. The type of plastic and overall construction makes this feel like a premium item with no flex or loose parts. It has a sort of satin finish that is matte and looks very nice as well
2. You are able to charge items through the USB C port
Cons:
1. Charging is quite slow. While using this battery you should not be losing any charge, but any increase in battery percentage will be slow and hard to notice
2. It is quite heavy. When attached to your phone, the weight difference is very noticeable. I think it is too big to comfortable carry in a pocket, especially attached to your phone
3. Though it is slim, the battery is also a bit bulky. When attached, it doubles the thickness of your phone. On my iPhone 14 Pro with a thin case, the battery hangs a fraction of a centimeter over the bottom and it is noticeable if you rest your phone on your pinky
4. Because of its weight and size, it begs the question, “why not use a bigger and faster traditional portable battery with a cord?”
5. While the finish of the material is nice, it will show every fingerprint and bit of moisture. Something to keep in mind if this sort of stuff bothers you
Otherwise I really like this pack. The magnet is really strong and holds well, the color and finish are nice and clean and I like that it has a power button so you can charge other things, not just wireless devices. I’ve used it 2 days in a row to top up and I really like it.
Etwas schade, dass dies auf den Produktfotos leider überhaupt nicht klar ersichtlich ist, sonst hätte ich mich eventuell vor dem Kauf anders entschieden.
Für iPhone Max allerdings sicher eine tolle Option, das Design ist schlicht und die Powerbank wesentlich schicker als frühere Generationen.
