If you’re a long-distance runner, you may want to ensure that your iPhone has enough battery to last for the entire duration of your workout, especially if you’re blasting music, running a navigation app, or tracking your run. If you didn’t splurge on Apple’s own MagSafe battery pack before the company removed it from shelves following the recent iPhone 15 event, you can go for other trusted brands that also design MagSafe accessories.
Anker has a couple of 5,000mAh Wireless MagSafe chargers that are a great alternative for runners who own a MagSafe-compatible iPhone. Both models are some of the slimmest battery packs currently well-rated on Amazon, making either one easier to stash in a running belt or roomy pocket while attached to your mobile phone for charging. However, although both versions of the battery pack can technically be used on any iPhone model that has MagSafe support, due to the portable chargers’ size, they’re not recommended to be used on an iPhone 12/13 mini. In addition, when used on an iPhone 13/14 Pro, either battery pack may exceed the bottom edge of the mobile device, but this shouldn’t be that big of an issue when the phone is secured in your chosen storage while running.
If you prioritize slimness, get the version of Anker’s 5,000mAh Wireless MagSafe charger that’s 0.45 inch thick for $39.99 on Amazon in one of five available colors. If you don’t mind going a smidge thicker, the 0.5-inch thick version is more affordable at $34.99 (half of the regular price) and comes with a foldable stand that you can use at home for easier viewing. Both models are included in Amazon’s Best Sellers list and are highly rated among buyers.
