For many people, power banks are a vital accessory for their phones, providing a much-needed boost of power when they're out and about. Fortunately, Anker has reduced the price of its popular power bank, which is compatible with iPhones as old as the iPhone 12. The Anker 5000 mAh 622 power bank is currently priced at £45.
99 on Amazon, but Amazon Prime members can snag it for just £24.99 - a fantastic deal. If you're not already a Prime member, you might consider signing up for a 30-day free trial, especially with Christmas just around the corner.
With Prime, you can get your hands on this excellent 5000mAh Anker power bank, which would make a great stocking filler for that hard-to-buy-for friend or family member. This smart and slim charger allows you to prop up your phone, keeping your notifications in view.

The build quality is great; it’s lightweight and so portable you don’t notice it and can fit anywhere, even in small handbags. The magnet is very strong as well so you don’t have to worry about it falling off. Great way to keep your phone charged while on the go without having to carry a bulky power bank.
" Another reviewer said: "I use a much more powerful power bank to charge my stuff when away from the house, but I found this really useful for when I pop into the office and want something to park my iPhone 15 Pro Max on. I initially thought it might keel over with the weight/size of my iPhone, but it doesn't. "Despite comments I read, mine doesn't get that warm when charging or being charged.
It's really well made, I like the blue colour which exactly matches my Apple silicon case. It takes my phone from 20% to nearly 90% when I need it to. I do prefer, when not using it as a desk charger, to connect it to my phone via a cable, rather than clamping in on the back.
It charges quicker that way as well. "Only gripe, the USB-C cable supplied is total garbage. Considering Anker cables are usually really high quality, why have they put such utter rubbish in with this charger.
" Some users have expressed concerns over the charging time of the power bank. A customer commented: "Not that fastest to charge. Phone does get quite warm - charged from about 65% whilst out and about and at 80% the charging stopped to wait for the phone to reach normal temperature again.
" However, for those without Prime looking for other options, a 20000 mAh power bank from Belkin is available for £29.99..
