Amazon Prime Day is here, and it’s the perfect time to grab some essential mobile accessories for your smartphone, like the new iPhone 16 or Google Pixel 9. Or maybe you’re looking for something for someone else who could certainly benefit from some new gear.

Anker is a trusted brand name in the mobile accessory space, as it makes some of the best cables, chargers, screen protectors, and portable power banks. This specific one, however, is the ultimate in portable convenience, as it has an integrated USB-C (or Lightning) cable, a foldable AC plug, USB-C port, and even charges at 30 watts. It comes in multiple colors and is just $30 for Prime Day .

I’ve been using an older variation of this power bank, but this version is even better. With a foldable AC plug, you can simply plug this directly into an outlet to charge, no extra adapters or cables necessary. Optionally, you can charge it via a USB-C cable, if an outlet isn’t available. The power bank even has a screen on it to tell you how long it will take to charge, and also how much juice is left.

This power bank is all about convenience. Not only does it have its own foldable plug, but it has its own integrated cable, so you don’t even need a separate one. You can choose between Lightning or USB-C for your needs, and the flat cable tucks away when you don’t need i, and doubles as a carrying strap. Anker also added another USB-C port here, which you can use for charging the power bank itself, or to charge up another device using another cable. Yes, it can charge up to two devices simultaneously.

Not only does this small power bank have all of the necessary cables built-in, but it also delivers fast 30W charging speeds. Most smartphones, including the iPhone 16 Pro, support fast charging at this speed, so you should be able to top off your phone quickly. The screen can even tell you the percentage of charge remaining and how long it will take to get to full.

While you can get your power bank in the standard black or white colors, Anker also added pops of color with pink, blue, and violet options to choose from. This is one of the best 5,000mAh battery packs around, so whether you’re picking one up for yourself or as a gift for someone else, this is bound to become a favorite.

OnePlus’ North America and Europe chapter has officially come to an end

After months of straight-up denying it, OnePlus just confirmed it’s tapping out of North America and Europe. In a community forum post, the company dressed up the news as a “proactive global strategy adjustment,” but for buyers in these markets, the outcome is straightforward. There will be one less brand to choose from the next time you go phone shopping.

Your next power bank could light the way to the bathroom
Furniture, Table, Lamp

Power banks serve a very simple yet handy purpose. Charge your accessories or phones in a pinch, while on the go. But every now and then, a model comes in with a little more style of functionality–like built-in cables or magnetic/wireless charging. Some can even charge up bigger gadgets like laptops.

But Belkin is doing something a bit different. The Belkin BoostCharge Pro Power Bank 10K with Motion Sensing Light has launched in China for 329 yuan, or approximately $49. Alongside its 10,000mAh battery and 45W USB-C charging, it carries a pop-up LED lamp that can illuminate a hotel room, bedside table, or dark hallway when it detects movement.
