The original MagSafe portable power banks walked so the next generation of Qi2-certified fast chargers could fly, and predictably one of the best and fastest of the bunch comes from Anker. The MagGo Slim Power Bank is 10,000 mAh magnetic power pack that brings 15W of rapid recharging to iPhones from the iPhone 14 and higher, and thanks to this 20% off deal at Amazon, it’s just $64.

Qi2 is the open standard that ensures the 15W fast wireless charging speed is actually delivered rather than just suggested — non-certified packs frequently cap at 7.5W regardless of what the spec sheet claims. The Anker MagGo is Qi2 certified, which means 15W is what you actually get on iPhone 14 through 17 series, snapped magnetically to the back of the phone while you use it.

Slender Source

At a mere 0.58 inches thick, the MagGo Slim is designed to minimize the bulk penalty of carrying a battery pack attached to your phone. Most MagSafe power banks add noticeable weight and thickness; Anker’s slim profile is small enough to fit in a pocket alongside the phone without the combined stack becoming awkward. The matte finish and metal frame give it a build quality that doesn’t feel like a generic accessory, and aerogel thermal insulation keeps operating temperatures down during charging — relevant for a device running against the back of a phone for an extended period.

At 10,000mAh, the capacity delivers roughly 1.8 full charges for an iPhone 15 Pro, which covers a heavy day of travel or a long event where outlets aren’t accessible. The pack ships with a 60cm USB-C to USB-C cable, which you can keep hardwired to recharge the MagGo Slim and your iPhone at the same time, so your phone is fully charged and the MagGo Slim is ready to back it up.

Qi2 Delivers

MagSafe-compatible power banks have multiplied since Apple standardized the magnetic attachment ring on the iPhone 12 and up, but Qi2 certification is the distinguishing factor that separates the reliable ones from the innumerable cheaper versions that pop up in any Amazon search. Anker backs this one with its stellar reputation and also a 24-month warranty.

While this Amazon deal cuts the price of the Anker MagGo Slim from $80 to $64, it sits at a reasonable price for Qi2-certified magnetic charging with genuine slim-profile engineering. For iPhone users who want a battery pack that actually integrates with how MagSafe is designed to work rather than giving a pale imitation of it, this is one of the cleaner and more reliable options.
