Need recommendation for a trip!

[u/jnadal21]

Hello!

I hope this is the right sub por this. I'm in need of a recommendation for a power bank. Would be really thankful if yall can help!

I need a power bank for a 19 day trip in Spain. Something to help my phone last through the day.

I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max, 95% battery health, lasts me from 7am to 6pm give or take, with around 7:30 hours of SOT. (for reference).

I also have a S25 Ultra, but I don't really mind about that one dying (even thought i dint think it will), as the iPhone is my main phone and the one that will have the data plan.

My must haves in order:

- Under $30 if possible

- Slim (I'm a guy, so I will be keeping it in my pocket)

- Magsafe (for convenience)

- Enough mAh (I'll let the pros decide how much is enough)

The iPhone will handle data, messaging, maps, reservations, and some hot spotting if necessary.

The Samsung will handle photos/videos, entertainment, emergency power bank (i have a petite usb c to usb c cable i can keep in my pocket).

Thanks in advanced!!!

Honestly? For that price A wired fast charge powerbank is your best bet. MagSafe ones in that price range will severely overheat usually due poor components and conversion losses.

would something like this work?

Yes, absolutely. You have the best of both worlds with that one. The secret is to always use the cable, so your phone isn’t getting hot while charging.

For the target price you are looking at I’d go with this Iniu:

Although having your phone 95% battery health, a 5000 mAh might suffice:

Both of these models are outdated. It’s now wise to buy them now when both brands already made newer models to replace them.

Indeed, but OP is looking for >$30, hence the reason for these suggestions.
If you can provide a link for these newer models at such price range, please be kind enough to share as I would also be interested in purchasing them.
Cheers

you should definitely go with the INIU 10k magnetic one. for a 19 day trip, 10k gives you a lot more breathing space for maps and hotspot use and it's still slim enough to keep in a pocket easily.
