Baseus recently released a new "ultra mini" variant of its Picogo MagSafe power banks, and it certainly lives up to its name. Right now you can save nearly 60% off the 5,000mAh Qi2-certified model when you apply coupon code "RT8XQSCG" in cart, dropping the price to just $28.79 with free shipping. Baseus makes solid power banks and I recommend them as a less expensive alternative to Anker.
Baseus Picogo Ultra Mini 5,000mAh MagSafe Power Bank
The Baseus Picogo Ultra Mini 5,000mAh power bank measures 3.4" by 2.3", about the size of a standard credit card. It's about 0.5" thick making it one of the thinnest MagSafe chargers out there, however it will still add noticeably to the overall dimensions of your phone. It's also very lightweight, coming in at just under 5 ounches. There's also a handy little kickstand so you can properly angle your phone while setting it down to watch videos.
This model has been updated with the newer Qi2/MagSafe standard, which means it can deliver up to 15W of wireless charging, double the rate of the first generation's 7.5W of inductive charging. When you need even faster charging, a USB Type-C port offers up to 20W of Power Delivery.

Macworld lists these power consumption specs (in Whr) for the iPhone 16:
- iPhone 16: 3,561mAh 13.7Whr
- iPhone 16 Plus: 4,674mAh 18Whr
- iPhone 16 Pro: 3,582mAh 13.8Whr
- iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4,685mAh 18Whr
A 5,000mAh power bank carries an 18.5Whr capacity. An 80% power efficiency rating (which is about standard for power banks) gives you about 15Whr of available charge. That means this power bank will extend your iPhone 16 Plus or Pro Max battery life by up to 80% and the iPhone 16/Pro by over 100%.
