When is the last time you badly needed to charge your iPhone but weren’t at home? If your answer is: all the darn time, then you might want to look into investing in a quality portable charger that can safely and efficiently power up your phone’s battery no matter where you roam. Like a lot of tech accessories, portable chargers aren’t one and the same. Depending on your phone’s needs and your personal travel needs, the charger you choose will differ from the one your friend snagged. This is how to find the best portable charger for your iPhone, according to Apple experts.
FIRST, YOU’LL WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CHARGER IS COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR IPHONE MODEL
One of the most important places to start when shopping for an iPhone charger is to look for one that is compatible with your particular iPhone model, according to Tech Expert James Jason, Founder and CEO of Notta AI. “If you’re not sure which charger to get for your iPhone, the best bet is to go with a charger that is compatible with your specific model,” Jason says. “That way, you’ll know for sure that it will work with your phone. To do this, you can either check the Apple website or the charger’s packaging to see if it lists compatibility with your iPhone model. Once you’ve found a compatible charger, make sure to read the reviews to see if other users have had good experiences with it.”
SECOND, YOU’LL WANT TO CONSIDER THE CAPACITY OF THE CHARGER
“When choosing a charger, you’ll want to consider its capacity — how many devices can it charge at once, and how quickly can it charge them,” Jason says. “A charger with a higher capacity can charge more devices at once, while a charger with a higher output can charge devices more quickly. If you frequently find yourself needing to charge multiple devices at once, or if you need to charge your devices quickly, a charger with a high capacity and high output may be the best option for you.”
THIRD, YOU'LL WANT TO THINK ABOUT PORTABILITY AND EASE OF USE.
Finally: what are YOUR specific needs when it comes to charging and travel? “Is the charger small and lightweight, so that you can easily take it with you on the go?” Jason says. “Is it easy to use, so that you can quickly and easily charge your devices when you need to? For many people, portability is key. They want a charger that they can easily take with them on the go, so that they can always have a charged phone. Others prioritize ease of use, so they want a charger that is easy to use and can quickly charge their devices.”
If you need a charger that is small and lightweight, Jason stresses looking for one that meets those criteria. If, on the other hand, ease of use is your priority, look for a charger that is easy to use.
At the end of the day, Jason says the best portable charger for your iPhone is the one that meets all of your needs and requirements. “With so many different chargers on the market, it's important to take the time to find the one that's right for you,” Jason says. “By keeping the above factors in mind, you can be sure to find the perfect charger for your needs.”
