Looking for a power bank rec for the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro. Don't wanna be caught with a dead battery! Anyone got suggestions for fast charging and good capacity? Budget's around $50. What brands/models should I check out?
iPhone 17 Pro will likely use USB-PD. Be careful with non-certified power banks; voltage spikes can damage the battery. I would suggest checking Anker's PowerCore series, but verify USB-PD compliance. Make sure to check the power bank's protection circuits meet IEC 62368-1 standards. Might want to consider consulting an electronics specialist.
Anker's decent. But honestly, older power banks with USB-C are cheaper and work fine. Save your cash!
Heads up on cheap power banks! For the 17 Pro, I'd suggest prioritizing safety over max capacity at that price. Be careful of no-name brands; some have sketchy circuits. Anker's usually solid. Make sure it has over-voltage protection. $50 might be tight, but worth the peace of mind.
