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!

Agreed. I have many battery banks of many sizes - some with wireless (but not MagSafe) chargers built in. I have found if I need to charge my phone via a battery bank, it’s because I need to use the phone. The Anker 621 is small enough that I always have it with me, but also keeps the phone very usable while charging. It easily charges my 13 pro over 80% which is plenty to hold me over till I get to a wired charger in my car or at home. In the heat, it does slow the rate of charging but it’s so small on the back of the phone, there is no rush.

Exactly!

As I said, I have some that are those enormous bricks, about the size of 2.5 iPhones stacked on top of each other; it’s a nightmare to use. No big deal if you can sit your phone on a table or in your car’s center console while it’s charging, but it’s a gigantic pain to lug around.

The 621 is small enough that I can always keep it with me without a thought, and slap it on the back when I get around ~60-70%, and I can still actually USE the phone…

I really like mine!
