An iPhone power bank is categorised with a focus on optimal performance with iPhones. If you have Apple products, especially an iPhone, then one of these power banks is exactly what you need. There are a number of technologies that make these power banks ideal for iPhones, but also for iPads and MacBooks, for example.
First point: MFi cable. Some of these power banks include an MFi cable. MFi stands for 'Made For iPhone'. These are cables approved and certified by Apple. They are optimised for iPhone and ensure stable, secure, and fast charging. Please note whether the power bank you are looking at includes an MFi cable.
Second point: USB-PD. Many of these power banks feature USB Power Delivery technology. Many iPhones use precisely this technology – and it is a fast and relatively new technology that ensures very rapid charging.
USB-PD allows for up to 100W charging. It optimises its own power output so that your device receives exactly the power it needs. You thus achieve safe, fast, and easy charging.
Third point: wireless charging. All newer iPhones come as Qi-enabled devices. This means they support wireless charging. Several of these power banks offer precisely this feature.
An iPhone power bank is thus categorised based on the technologies and the interaction between the power bank and the iPhone. So if you have an iPhone and you need a power bank – you're in the right place.
