Hands-on review of the Anker 622 Magnetic Wireless Power Bank. Compact, magnetic, and surprisingly addictive for iPhone users on the go.
I bought the Anker 622 MagGo power bank on a whim after seeing it trending during Prime Day. My thought process was basically:
“I already have a power bank… but does it magnetically snap to my phone and let me scroll while charging?”
Spoiler: No, it didn’t.
Now, after two weeks of using the 622 daily, I’m borderline obsessed.
First Impressions
It’s small — way smaller than I expected for a 5000mAh battery. Thin, rounded edges, matte finish, and feels sturdy but pocketable.
The built-in kickstand was a surprise win. It folds out seamlessly and holds your phone up in both vertical and horizontal positions — perfect for YouTube, calls, or timers while cooking.
Magnet strength? Surprisingly solid. It snaps cleanly to my iPhone 14 Pro and stays put even in my pocket.
Key Features and Benefits
- 5000mAh battery capacity (1 full iPhone charge)
- MagSafe-compatible magnetic alignment
- Built-in foldable kickstand
- USB-C input/output for wired charging
- LED battery indicator lights
- Ultra-portable (only ~0.5 inches thick)
Real-Life Use (The Good Stuff)
It’s ideal for:
- Charging while walking or watching videos
- Desk setups (doubles as a stand)
- Flights, buses, and random café power emergencies
- Tossing into tiny bags or jacket pockets
Unlike bulky power banks, this one feels like a natural extension of your phone. You want it attached.
Also: no wires, no juggling. Just snap and go.
The Drawbacks (Keep It Honest)
- No passthrough charging — can’t charge the bank and phone at the same time
- Only ~1 full charge — don’t expect multiple cycles like a 10k mAh bank
- Best performance with iPhones 12 and newer (MagSafe required for magnetic snap)
Not a deal-breaker, but it’s definitely a daily-use charger — not your apocalypse backup battery.
