The Anker Nano Power Bank for iPhone (model A1653) has no cable to forget. A USB-C connector folds out of its top and plugs straight into the phone, so the 5,000mAh battery sits under an iPhone 15, 16 or 17, or any USB-C Android phone, and charges it at up to 22.5W. It weighs 100 g, and this one comes in Ice Lake Blue, a pale, cool blue.

How the Anker Nano Power Bank for iPhone connects
The connector is the whole idea. Flip it up, push it into the phone’s USB-C port and the Anker Nano Power Bank for iPhone starts charging, with nothing dangling from a pocket. Fold it back down and the battery becomes a small block you can drop into a bag.
Anker designed the connector to fit snugly with phone cases up to 4.9 mm thick. Thicker rugged cases, such as the OtterBox Defender, are not compatible, because the case keeps the connector from reaching the port.
22.5W charging and a second USB-C port
Each port outputs 5V⎓3A, 9V⎓2.22A or 10V⎓2.25A, so a single device can draw up to 22.5W. Besides the fold-out connector there is a regular USB-C port, which recharges the power bank and can also charge a second device by cable, such as AirPods.
With two devices connected at once, the total output is 5V⎓3.6A, which Anker lists as 18W max. The power bank itself recharges at 5V⎓3A or 9V⎓2A; Anker does not publish a recharge time on its product page.
Which phones the Anker Nano Power Bank for iPhone fits
Any phone with a USB-C port can use the built-in connector, which covers the iPhone 15, 16 and 17 series as well as most current Android phones. Anker specifically lists Samsung Galaxy S22 and S23 series, Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra, Huawei Mate and P series, and iPad Pro and iPad Air models.
Older iPhones with a Lightning port (Anker names the iPhone 12, 13 and 14 series) can still charge from the Anker Nano Power Bank for iPhone, but only through its USB-C port with a USB-C to Lightning cable, which is sold separately. The built-in connector does not fit Lightning.
Why Ice Lake Blue
Ice Lake Blue is a soft, light blue that sits well with the lighter iPhone finishes and with clear or pastel cases. It is easier to spot at the bottom of a dark bag than a black unit, which matters for a battery this small, and it shows scuffs less than white does.
Anker makes the Anker Nano Power Bank for iPhone in Black Stone, Shell White, Ice Lake Blue, Lotus Pink and Sprout Green. At Totot you can also order the white version; the specifications are the same and only the colour changes.
Size and safety
At 3.03 × 1.45 × 0.98 inches (about 77 × 37 × 25 mm) and 100 g, the Anker Nano Power Bank for iPhone is small enough for a jeans pocket or a small handbag.
Anker’s ActiveShield 2.0 system monitors temperature during charging.
Who This Is Not For
If you use a rugged case thicker than 4.9 mm, the built-in connector will not reach the port, so you would have to charge by cable from the second port. If you want MagSafe-style wireless charging, this is not it: the Anker Nano Power Bank for iPhone charges by USB-C only.
It is also a top-up battery rather than a weekend pack. 5,000mAh is half the rated capacity of a typical 10,000mAh power bank, so anyone who needs several full phone charges away from a socket should choose a larger model. Owners of Lightning iPhones also need to carry a separate cable.
