Best Powercore for iPhone X

#1

I currently have the iPhone X. I can’t decide which is the best powercore for me. I want fast charging and long lasting.
My 3 choices are PowerCore Speed 20000 (Upgraded), Powercore 20100, and Powercore II 20000.
Please help me decide. Thank you!

You won’t be able to take advantage of any Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 capabilities; however, Power IQ 2.0 will charge your iPhone very quickly. Therefore I think the new PowerCore II is definitely the way to go

I own the Powercore II 6700 (which is only 10W not 18W as you have in the Powercore II 10000) and it charges my phone fast!

PowerIQ 2 will be no faster than QC 3 for iPhone X!

There is so much misinformation about this and it seems to come up a lot @ndalby @TechnicallyWell Any ideas? Maybe a PIQ2 vs QC3 post could be permanently pinned?

Are you sure? I thought PIQ(1.0&2.0) was advertised as “fast charge for any phone (up to the allowed wattage of course)” but obviously without a Qualcomm Chip you can’t use QC 3.0 on an iPhone

There are no special fast charging abilities iPhone can take advantage of other than PD anyways… PIQ 1 is definitely not capable of providing fastest possible charge because it did not mimic QC at all, just detected the device.

Hoping Anker makes the USB-C to lightning soon

It’s been mentioned numerous times before, but it’s not Anker you are really waiting on as they said they would make them, but rather Apple to release the licensing and certification for this so 3rd party manufacturers can make certified MFI cables

With those 3 options I assume you are carrying them in a back pack(they are pretty large). All of your choices provide 5v 2a, that’s all you really need for an iPhone. As far as fast charging, your choices are very limited, and pretty pricey and my opinion is not worth it at the moment.

My personal choice out of those 3 options would be the Powercore II 20000, because you can charge the battery itself very quickly.

When I’m not carrying my bag with me I throw the 10,000 slim into my pocket.
