About Optimized Battery Charging on your iPhone

With iOS 13 and later, your iPhone learns from your daily charging habits to improve the lifespan of your battery.

A battery’s lifespan is related to its chemical age, which is more than just the length of time since the battery was assembled. A battery’s chemical age results from a complex combination of several factors, including temperature history and charging pattern. All rechargeable batteries are consumable components that become less effective as they chemically age. As lithium-ion batteries chemically age, the amount of charge they can hold diminishes, resulting in reduced battery life and reduced peak performance. Learn more about iPhone battery and performance and how to maximize battery performance and lifespan.

With iOS 13 and later, Optimized Battery Charging is designed to reduce the wear on your battery and improve its lifespan by reducing the time your iPhone spends fully charged. When the feature is enabled, your iPhone will delay charging past 80% in certain situations. Your iPhone uses on-device machine learning to learn your daily charging routine so that Optimized Battery Charging activates only when your iPhone predicts it will be connected to a charger for an extended period of time. The algorithm aims to ensure that your iPhone is still fully charged when unplugged.

Optimized Battery Charging is on by default when you set up your iPhone or after updating to iOS 13 or later. To turn off the feature, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health > Optimized Battery Charging.

When Optimized Battery Charging is active, a notification on the Lock screen says when your iPhone will be fully charged. If you need to have your iPhone fully charged sooner, touch and hold the notification and then tap Charge Now.

If Optimized Battery Charging doesn’t activate

Optimized charging is designed to engage only in locations where you spend the most time, such as your home and place of work. The feature doesn’t engage when your usage habits are more variable, such as when you travel. Because of this, some location settings must be enabled for Optimized Battery Charging to activate. None of the location information used for this feature is sent to Apple.

Here are a list of settings that must be enabled:

• Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Location Services.
• Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > System Customization.
• Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations > Significant Locations.

How to wirelessly charge your iPhone

Learn how to wirelessly charge your iPhone with Qi-certified charging accessories.

What you need

Your iPhone features integrated wireless charging that allows for an easy and intuitive charging experience. Your iPhone works with Qi-certified chargers that are available as accessories and in cars, cafes, hotels, airports, and furniture. Qi is an open, universal charging standard created by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).

Many Qi-certified chargers charge iPhone with the latest version of iOS at rates up to 7.5 watts. These chargers are available at the Apple Online Store and Apple Stores.

Other Qi-certified chargers might vary in functionality and performance. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

Charge wirelessly

1. Connect your charger to power. Use the power adapter that came with your accessory or a power adapter recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Place the charger on a level surface or other location recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Place your iPhone on the charger with the display facing up. For best performance, place it in the center of the charger or in the location recommended by manufacturer.
4. Your iPhone should start charging a few seconds after you place it on your wireless charger.

You should see in the status bar.

Learn more

• Learn about charging with the MagSafe Charger and MagSafe Duo Charger.
• Wireless charging uses magnetic induction to charge your iPhone. Don’t place anything between your iPhone and the charger. Magnetic mounts, magnetic cases, or other objects between your iPhone and the charger might reduce performance or damage magnetic strips or RFID chips like those found in some credit cards, security badges, passports, and key fobs. If your case holds any of these sensitive items, remove them before charging or make sure that they aren’t between the back of your iPhone and the charger.
• If your iPhone isn’t charging or is charging slowly and your iPhone has a thick case, metal case, or battery case, try removing the case.
• If your iPhone vibrates—when it gets a notification, for example—your iPhone might shift position. This can cause the charging mat to stop providing power to your iPhone. If this happens often, consider turning off vibration, turning on Do Not Disturb, or using a case to prevent movement.
• Depending on the charging mat you have, you might hear faint noises while your iPhone charges.
• Your iPhone might get slightly warmer while it charges. To extend the lifespan of your battery, if the battery gets too warm, software might limit charging above 80 percent. Your iPhone will charge again when the temperature drops. Try moving your iPhone and charger to a cooler location.
• Your iPhone won’t charge wirelessly when connected to USB. If your iPhone is connected to your computer with USB, or if it’s connected to a USB power adapter, your iPhone will charge using the USB connection.

Best power bank for iPhone in 2021

Looking for a pocket-size power bank for iPhone charging on the go? Here are some top picks.

Even though the new iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro models boast some of Apple’s best battery life numbers ever, some of us still want more. Battery cases increase battery capacity but tend to make a phone extra-heavy and bulky to carry around.T hat’s why a portable battery charger or power bank is often a more practical purchase for your iPhone .

To that end, I’ve rounded up the best portable power banks and battery chargers that will add a little extra oomph to your iPhone’s battery life. Although they cost more, I personally like batteries that have a Lightning cable built into them, so I don’t have to worry about carrying around a charging cable for fast charging when I don’t have enough power. But I’ve also included some budget picks that come with a charging cable for those who want to spend as little as possible on charging their apple devices via power pack.

While we have a similar list of best power banks for Android phones, any portable battery pack here without an integrated Lightning cable will work perfectly well when charging an Android smartphone (or any other portable gadget), so long as you provide a compatible smartphone cable.

So which is the best portable charger for an iPhone? Which is the best portable power bank for a charge on the go? Let’s find out. We update this list of the best portable charger for iPhone options periodically, and we’ve anecdotally tested all of these models or their direct predecessors.

Anker magnetic wireless power bank

Anker PowerCore Magnetic 5K Wireless

It’s not cheap at around $50, but Anker’s PowerCore Magnetic 5K Wireless is one of the best MagSafe accessories even though it isn’t an official Apple MagSafe certified accessory. It’s a battery that magnetically adheres to the back of your iPhone 12 model or MagSafe case and wirelessly charges your phone. Alas, it doesn’t offer fast wireless charging — this wireless charger only charges at 5W, not even 7.5W (however, you can charge faster via the USB-C port with a USB-C to Lightning cable, which isn’t included). While it doesn’t offer fast charging without the additional cable, it is convenient and compact. It also adheres well.

Best cheap battery pack with built-in Lightning cable

Mophie PowerStation Plus

Mophie’s PowerStation Plus with included charging cable is a few years old and has been discontinued, which means you can find some great deals on this portable charger — just make sure you’re not buying a refurbished model. Although it doesn’t have fast-charging capabilities, it does have a fabric finish and houses a 6,040-mAh battery, as well as an integrated Lightning connector. Previously, if you bought one of the Apple-exclusive versions (it’s no longer available), the battery conveniently charged an iPhone and iPad with any Lightning cable, rather than Micro USB. The version on Amazon charges via an included Micro-USB cable. With the USB port, you can charge or recharge two devices at once, including your latest iPhone.

The larger 10,000-mAh PowerStation Plus XL is also available on Amazon, but it’s thicker. The XL can be fully charged wirelessly on a wireless charging pad while the standard PowerStation Plus doesn’t have wireless charging but comes with the necessary charging cable.

Note: Ignore Amazon’s product description that says the smaller PowerStation Plus has Qi wireless charging — it’s not a wireless Apple iPhone charger.

Good value mini fast charger

Aukey PB-N83 Mini 10,000-mAh USB-C Power Bank

Aukey bills its PB-N83 Mini 10,000 mAh USB-C Power Bank as «the smallest and lightest 10,000-mAh portable charger.» I’m not sure it qualifies as the world’s smallest, but its footprint is smaller than a credit card and provides high-speed charging. That said, it is 1.18 inches (30mm) thick and has some heft to it. Still, this ultra-compact portable charger fits easily enough in a pocket and has both an 18-watt USB Power Delivery with Type C cable port and Quick Charge 3.0 USB-A. The in-out USB-C cable port can be used as a pass-through port so you can charge the Power Bank and a device at the same time.

The PB-N83 portable charger is around $20, and is sometimes on sale for as little as $13. That’s a good price for a fast-charging 10,000-mAh PD power bank. A USB-A to USB-C cable is included for charging and owners of newer iPhone models can use the USB-C-to-Lightning cable included with the new iPhones to quick-charge their phones via the USB-C PD port on the power bank. I charged the iPhone 12 Pro to about 60% in 30 minutes.

Slim high-capacity battery

Anker PowerCore Lite 10,000 mAh

While it’s thicker than some of the Apple iPhone portable chargers in this roundup, the Anker PowerCore Slim 10,000 mAh is impressively slim for a 10,000-mAh portable phone charger. It has a USB-C input for charging your phone’s battery, but no USB-C output. No cables are included.

Best value jumbo portable battery

RavPower USB-C Power Bank 15,000 mAh

This 15,000-mAh power bank is beefier than some of the chargers on this list but it stores a lot of juice. This portable charger also offers an 18-watt USB PD for fast charging via the USB-C port and has a USB-A port along with an LED that displays battery power juice. Its list price is $44 but if you enter the code RR20 at checkout, the price drops to $28.60.

Affordable battery with built-in Lightning cable

LinearFlux Hypercharger Pro 8,000-mAh 3-in-1 Powerbank

The LinearFlux Hypercharger Pro is a good value if you’re looking for a decent-sized battery with a built-in Lightning cable. It also has an integrated microUSB cable with a USB-C adapter that you can stick on top.

This model with charging cable came out a couple of years ago, so it’s discounted at Walmart.

Battery pack with fold-out wall plug and 20W PD charging

Anker PowerCore Fusion 10,000 Portable Charger

This Anker model is basically an oversized wall charger that plugs in like a power adapter. We used and liked the older 5,000-mAh version with dual USB-A ports, which retails for $26 to $40, depending on color choice. But the new model doubles the capacity to 10,000-mAh, and adds a USB-C port. That lets you charge two devices such as your phone and a secondary connected gadget (or two phones) simultaneously. There’s also a little LED indicator on the side that lets you check the charge level at the press of a button.

Best power bank wireless portable charger with kickstand

Aukey Wireless Power Bank with 18W PD

This Aukey power bank has both wired and wireless charging options, as well as an integrated kickstand, which makes it an appealing external battery for gamers and binge-watchers. If you use the USB-C port, you can get 18 watts of charging. Go wireless and lay your phone on the charging dock battery and portable charger will wirelessly charge at 10 watts, which is where the charging speed of the iPhone currently maxes out for wireless charging. You’re paying a premium, but this fast-charging phone charger unit has a massive battery (20,000 mAh), a built-in kickstand and a digital readout listing the remaining charge. It comes with a USB-A-to-USB-C cable, but you’ll need to supply an adapter to charge it.

Fast-charging with cables and wall plug

MyCharge HubPlus Turbo 6,700 mAh

MyCharge HubPlus Turbo is the company’s latest power bank with integrated foldable wall plug and both Lightning and USB-C cables. The wall charger is called the Turbo because it has power delivery and Quick Charge 3.0 (USB-C cable) to deliver fast-charging speeds, meaning up to a 75% faster charging speed time than a standard 5-volt charger. This fast-charging wall charger has a 6,700-mAh battery.

Best eco battery pack

Nimble Champ

Nimble’s Champ portable charger uses recycled plastic in its construction. You have to pay a bit more for going green, but it is a nice, compact 10,000-mAh charger that features PD 4.0 fast-charging (18 watts) via its single USB-C port. Also, the coupon CNET25 will get you 25% off at checkout.

Nimble also sells some higher-capacity fast-charging battery packs.

Keychain emergency charger

Atom XS

The Atom XS portable charger comes in two versions: a smaller 800-mAh model and a larger 1,300-mAh model. These smart devices are designed to fit on a keychain and are about the size of an electronic car key. But be warned, they won’t fully charge your phone. The idea is to have them around for charging in case your phone dies and you need a spot of juice to get you through a few hours.

Both Atom XS models have an integrated Lightning connector and won’t weigh your phone down while charging. At around $40 for the larger 1,300-mAh fast charging output variant (the one I’d opt for), the Atom XS is a fairly expensive device and you may be disappointed that it will only charge some of the larger iPhones to about 25%. But again, this all about the convenience of having a tiny battery charger for emergency charging purposes. A model with USB-C charging is slightly cheaper at $35.

Mophie wireless magnetic power bank (Update: Unavailable)

Mophie Snap Plus Juice Pack Mini

Mophie’s magnetic power bank is similar to Anker’s but has a more refined design. Like the Anker, this portable charger isn’t an official Apple MagSafe accessory, but it magnetically adheres to the back of your iPhone 12 model or MagSafe case — yes, it sticks nicely — and is svelte for a 5,000-mAh battery. It can also be used with other phones that support wireless charging and comes with a stick-on magnet.

For wireless charging, Mophie says you’re looking at up to 7.5W for iPhones, but it felt a little more sluggish to me (more like 5W). If you need a faster charge, you can connect a USB-C to Lightning cable to bump the speed up to 12W. This has enough juice to fully charge an iPhone 12 or 12 Pro once but it’ll fall a little short of a full charge with an iPhone 12 Max Pro.

What to look for

Here are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for an external battery pack or power bank:

• A higher power output rating (mAh, short for milliamp hours) means more charges — but also a heavier portable charger weight.
• For the latest iPhones (everything after the iPhone 7) you should buy a battery with at least a 3,000-mAh capacity, which should give you at least one full charge for a device. With the exception of the Atom XS, all of the models featured above hit that mark.
• Multiple integrated charge cables or USB-out ports will allow you to charge more than one device at a time, such as an iPad or another iPhone.
• These best portable charger for iPhone options all use lithium-ion (li-ion) rechargeable batteries, and should thus always be stored in carry-on luggage when flying. Airlines and regulatory agencies are increasingly banning lithium-ion batteries in checked baggage.
• If you want maximum power output, opt for chargers with USB-C PD (power delivery) models, which should charge nearly every small device (smaller than a laptop), including a tablet or Nintendo Switch.
