Which is better for charging an iPhone?

The Anker MagGo. It snaps on magnetically and charges at 15W Qi2, and its stand holds the phone up while it charges. The Nimble needs a cable.

Can either charge a laptop?

The Nimble CHAMP Pro can. Its USB-C output reaches 20V at 3.25A, enough for a MacBook or tablet. The Anker tops out at 27W USB-C and is not rated for laptops.

Which is better for travel?

The Anker is lighter at 250 g and needs no cable for phone charging. The Nimble is heavier at 12.9 oz but covers more devices, including a laptop, from one pack.

Does the Anker charge two devices at once?

Yes, one wirelessly and one over USB-C. The Nimble charges two devices over its dual USB-C ports, but has no wireless option.

Is the Anker worth it over the Nimble?

For iPhone users who want cable-free charging and a stand, yes. If you need laptop charging or dual wired ports, the Nimble is the more useful pack.

How long does each take to recharge?

The Anker recharges in about 165 minutes over USB-C. Nimble does not state a recharge time in the listed specs.

Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K) vs Nimble CHAMP Pro Portable Charger

Buy the Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K) if you want a magnetic Qi2 wireless charger with a stand and a battery-percentage display for an iPhone. Buy the Nimble CHAMP Pro if you need a wired USB-C power bank that can top up a tablet or laptop and charge two devices at once. The Anker is the better fit for most phone-first shoppers; the Nimble wins on raw wired output and recycled-plastic build.
