Quick verdict
The Anker MagGo 10,000mAh is the best magnetic power bank for iPhone users: Qi2-certified 15W wireless charging that snaps to the back of the phone with no cable, a 30W USB-C port for everything else, and 1.8 full iPhone charges from a slim 14.7mm case, for £49 at our 30 October 2026 check (usually £69). It earns its place on walks, where the phone charges while it navigates. If you want the fastest wireless charging made, the new MagGo 2 Pro doubles the wireless speed to 25W with active cooling for £99.99, worth it for heavy users but double the money; if you do not have a MagSafe iPhone, buy the standard Anker 10K for £15 instead.

Should you buy the Anker MagGo 10K?
If you carry a MagSafe iPhone, yes. I bought this after a lesson the hard way: my phone died somewhere in the second loop of a long New Forest day, a combination of AllTrails navigation, photography and video, and 32km from the start that is not a small problem. The MagGo now comes on every long walk, and the reason it beats an ordinary bank for that job is simple: it snaps magnetically to the back of the phone and charges it while the phone keeps navigating in my hand or the pack lid. No cable to snag, nothing to plug in with cold fingers.
At our 30 October 2026 check it was £49 against a usual £69, the best price we have seen on it.
What it is
A 10,000mAh power bank with a Qi2-certified magnetic charging face. Qi2 is the open version of Apple's MagSafe standard, so it aligns itself perfectly on the back of any MagSafe iPhone and delivers 15W wirelessly, enough to take an iPhone 15 Pro from empty to half full in 41 minutes by Anker's figures. A 30W USB-C port handles wired charging for anything else, and the capacity works out at 1.8 full charges of an iPhone 15 Pro.
The case is Anker's slimmest of this type at 14.7mm thick, with a matte finish, a metal frame and aerogel insulation that keeps the surface cool while it charges. It is a genuinely pocketable thing, closer to a thick phone than a brick.
Living with it on the trail
This bank has appeared all over this site because it has quietly become part of my standard kit. It lives in the lid pocket of my pack on any walk long enough to threaten the phone battery, which after that New Forest day means every long walk. It is one of the picks in the best hiking gadgets guide, it gets a mention in the Brockenhurst trail guide where the lesson was learned, and it even powers my watch-charging setup on 30km+ days, an arrangement covered properly in the Apple Watch Ultra 3 review.
The snap-on charging matters more outdoors than it does at a desk. A phone running mapping software all day is a phone that needs feeding mid-walk, and a cable between pocket and hand is exactly the thing that catches on a stile. Magnet on the back, phone keeps working, nothing dangles.

Wireless charging costs efficiency. Some of the battery's energy becomes heat rather than charge, so you will get fewer total phone charges wirelessly than the same bank would deliver through its USB-C port. On the trail I treat the magnetic face as the convenience and the cable as the economy option when the bank is running low.
It is also iPhone-first kit. Android phones mostly lack the magnet ring, so they can use the MagGo only as a normal 30W USB-C bank, at which point the £15 Anker 10K does that job for a third of the price. And 15W wireless is brisk rather than fast; a wired 30W connection still beats it.
MagGo vs MagGo 2 Pro: should you pay £50 more?
Anker has just released the MagGo Power Bank 2 Pro at £99.99, and it is the straight upgrade to this one: the same 10,000mAh capacity, but Qi2 wireless at 25W rather than 15W, which Anker says takes an iPhone 17 Pro to 50% in 25 minutes, genuinely wired-speed charging without the wire. It keeps the pace up with a small cooling fan and graphene layers that hold the surface below 36°C, recharges itself faster at 45W, and adds a smart display showing power, temperature and battery health, plus a fold-flat stand. Worth knowing: Anker notes the 25W wireless speed is for iPhones, not Android.
Whether that is worth double the money is an easy test. If your phone lives on wireless charging and you top up mid-day, every day, the 2 Pro's extra speed and cooling are real benefits and the display is a nice bonus. For a bank that rides in a pack lid and rescues a navigation day, the 15W original does the same job for £49, and that is the one I own and the one I would buy again at this price.

Verdict
The Anker MagGo 10K is the best power bank you can buy for a MagSafe iPhone that works hard outdoors, and that is the right way to judge it: not on raw wattage, where wired banks win, but on the fact that it keeps a navigating phone alive without a single cable in play. Mine has earned its place in the pack lid on every long walk since that New Forest day, and at £49 on the current deal it is the cheapest it has been. Buy the 2 Pro if wireless charging is your whole lifestyle; buy this one if, like me, it is your insurance. And if you are still unsure what size battery your life actually needs, the finder tool answers it in two questions.
