Best Power Bank for iPhone in 2018
Anyone who uses a smart phone knows the importance of carrying a backup power bank. It doesn't matter if you are supposed to get 12 hours or 2 hours of battery life — your iPhone X always manages to die at the most inconvenient occasions, but power saving mode can only get you so far.
Although it's already 2018, I believe every single one of us has experienced this inconvenient moment at least once, and smartphone battery issues are not going to stop anytime soon, so it's time to address this issue once and for all.
The solution is simple—Power banks. They are the perfect solution to save your iPhone battery and offer between 1 and 7 charges depending on the size. They can be kept in cars, purses, or even do double the work and be your phone case too, making them incredibly versatile and useful. But given the large number of options on Amazon, you might feel overwhelmed, understandably. Besides the various charging specs, ports, and even cables you have to consider, there are a ton of competing brands.
In this review article we decided to do the legwork for you, acquiring a wide range of power banks from Zendure and show you some of the best power banks for your iPhone. Tired of reading those top 10 best "style", we'll only show you 2 instead.
In fact there are only two series in Zendure, one is X6 type and the other is the A series power banks. A series are aim to introduce an external battery that was tough enough to go anywhere, while also making sure it looked good enough that you'd want to take it everywhere. Dual-injection molding. ABS/PC composite. Reinforced shell. You probably won't ever need to think about the technology that goes into the A-Series, and you probably won't run over your battery with a car like we did. But when you hold an A-Series External Battery in your hand, you'll know why those details matter to us.
