Depends on exactly those 2 ends.
Some solar panels when the solar power drops then goes up, will reset its output, to fix the problem with iPhoney’s have.
Some iPhoney have a bug (aka “feature”) where they will lock their input to the lowest they witness.
So certain combinations of solar + iPhoney do not get along, some get along.
You would need to either find a precise match review, or get a meter and learn your iPhoney and solar combination which works best.
In general, to remove iPhoney’s “features” use an intermediate Powercore, or just buy other.

iPhoney? 
Wouldn’t high or low capacity Powercores also remove iPhone’s feature?
Correct from a solar perspective, but then you lose energy via the conversion into an intermediary battery, or you could just if your source is solar either via solar panel which is deliberately working around iPhoney’s “feature” or just not use iPhoney.
So your options are then 4:
- find a solar panel which resets its output when its energy input varies, to reset the output to work around iPhoney’s “feature”.
- find an iPhoney which does not have this “feature” of locking its input to the lowest witnessed.
- use an intermediary store like an Powercore.
- ditch iPhoney.
There are reviews out there on solar panels which are iPhoney enhanced. I will not refer to them as this is an Anker forum.
Ah, so Anker is not one of them.

Great review neighbor, Calgary looks great through the ROAV
Review: Anker PowerPort Elite 2
]
After some research, I decided this one would work for my travels and family trips. Even though this one doesn’t have 3.0 quick charge, its still a fast charge. It charged my old iPad gen 1 without charging issues with ease and took just over an hour from zero charge to get me a full charge and took about 40 minutes to charge from 20% to 88% on my LG G4.
As to its build quality, this one is solid and the matte white plastic gives it a simple and elegant look that will look good with your white mobile devices and other colors as well.
When the device is plugged in, there’s a blue light above the outlets that help light up the ports and isn’t to bright in a dark room. But I still would cover the light if you charging in a room you are sleeping in. It could disturb your sleep.
With the two ports you and a friend can charge together if you have the cables, or if you are alone you can charge a tablet and a phone at the same time.
I highly recommend this little charger. If you aren’t looking for the fastest charge (its still faster than factory) on the market or something with 3.0 Quick Charge this is a great charger for travel.

Anker SoundCore Boost review
Wonderful speaker. I’ve been looking for something small and robust which has a good all round sound for mostly indoor use. This speaker lived up to all the positive reviews I had read online prior to buying.
So, the product…lovely black speaker, comes with charge cable and nicely presented box packaging. The speaker is nice and weighty (which is a good thing), not over fussy with too many control options (however a “previous song” option would be nice). Pairs up with my iPhone really quick and has an impressive range through walls which I am thrilled about since our house walls don’t seem to like wifi reaching upstairs!
The sound has wonderful array of capabilities and even has a BassUp option which is great if you should need that extra “punch” - personally I have found its perfect without. Bass is even very clear at low volume which is really nice.
I haven’t owned the product long enough to weigh in on battery performance but so far so good. Speaking of battery…did you know this speaker doubles up as a Power Bank?! Seriously! I have already used this feature and found it to be a very useful thing to top up my phone battery. Other speaker manufacturers take note!
Minus points…pleased to say, very few. As said above, a Previous song option would be good and like some other bluetooth speakers if you could pair two of these beauties up to make a stereo set up, that would be amazing I’m sure!
Overall I highly recommend this speaker and would happily have more in the house for other rooms! Thank you Anker for yet another fantastic product!

Anker micro USB wires and Astro battery pack.
Got the wife a battery pack for Christmas and she told me it’s a lame gift, moments later is her favorite. No surprise since she was always low on battery. And the wires are the best. Fast charging and tough as nails. No tangles or kinks just perfect. Got one 3 footer for the car with the quick charge 12v adapter and a one footer in the go bag with the USB charger.

Altitude 4026 ft (1227 m), Latitude 46.5 deg N, full summer sun with no clouds and no shade. I usually reorient the panel throughout the day. I’m also using both inputs on the PowerCore II, so I’m losing as little as possible in the process. I will get a meter and let you know when I get back home.
At my latitude the sun dips significantly in the winter. I’ll be trying various strategies to keep my devices 100% solar powered this winter - last winter the 3w panel I was working with just couldn’t keep up. We’ll see about the 21w…
Generally I agree about the iPhone, and mac products’ proprietary and myopic design as time goes on. Add this to the list of reasons I’m close to ditching my mac ecosystem for a more usable set of software/hardware. 
Nice job Josh. That was funny! Thanks for sharing
Four even ?
Hello!!! 
My favorite Anker device is the PowerPort Speed 5. 2 x Quick Charge. Model A2054.
Is perfect when you want to load multiple devices at once.
Has 5 ports. The first two ports are fast chargers.
I have always taken with me on each long trip because I always bring with me cameras, cell phones, portable chargers, and as we know, when we are moving from one place to another … we do not have enough time to wait to have full charge for each device.

This review is for the Anker Powercore 10000
To start this review I would like to say that I bought this product for Pokémon go and I was really new to the portable charger thing. The package arrived in 2 days with standard free delivery from Amazon which was good as I wanted to get into the whole Pokémon go craze with my friends (I’m 13). When I got the thing out of the box I was pretty impressed by the overall look and feel of the packaging it didn’t really matter but just gave the product a more premium impression. The unboxing experience was similar to that of Apple and made it very easy to keep organized and safe is I was ever to return it.
The Actual Product
When I charged it up fully I got about 2-3 charges out of it using my iPhone SE which was more than enough for a days worth of playing!
The slight textured feel of the thing made it pretty easy for me to keep it safely in my jeans and I never fell out…Well apart from when I was tracking this Venesaur and ran to get it until it fell out my jeans and skid across the concrete. I thought I had broken it until I plugged it in and heard that sweet sound (I lost the Venesaur). I stopped playing Pokémon go as the hype died down but I still find use for it in my school life, like earning some mad rep as the powerbank guy in English.
Conclusion
Since purchasing this power bank I have purchased many more Anker products and incorporated it into my setup be it USB hubs, or even a cable that can lift a man I can count on Anker to provide me with the absolute best!

Some great reviews above. Good luck to all 
Here a cut from my review for the Anker PowerCore 5000. It was over 600 words but to play by the rules I’ve had to shave bits off from various corners (and the cycles performed). But I’ve been able to bring it down to 295 words (according to MS Word)…
With the amount of USB gadgets we own, it is always handy to pack a powerbank in your bag for those awkward moments when your device runs out of juice at the most crucial time. I’ve purchased a few of them; from the small Anker Astro E1 5200 mAh powerbank to more expensive powerbanks that house up to 25,000 mAh. So what makes this one any different?
Well first of all the size. It measures 12.5 x 6.3 x 1 cm. That’s pretty slim by the way. I have compared the thickness of the PowerCore 5000 and Astro E1. Please take a look at the images provided.
The PowerCore 5000 came more than 2/3 charged. There is a 3-step power indicator; 3 lights = 100% or less, 2 = 66% or less and 1 = 33% or less. It looks and feels premium. Holding both your phone and the powerbank in one hand is erm, pretty handy. Reminds me of the power cases that are available for iPhones.
I connected various micro USB cables to see the maximum Amps I can get to charge a Samsung Galaxy S5. Whilst the Samsung cable could only manage 1.46 amps on average, my most powerful USB cable (by RavPower) managed 1.92 amps at 5.10v. That’s remarkable and almost the maximum of 2 amps this can pump out. I then tried the ‘little’ Anker cable that came with the PowerCore and…wait for it…it matched the 1.92 amps! The little man means serious business! In fact it matched the maximum all my devices accept.
Recharging the PowerCore was a breeze with the included cable, again recharging at 1.95 amps.
In conclusion, Anker has developed another masterpiece. Unique in design, the PowerCore 5000 is certainly a contender for my go-to powerbank.
