9to5Mac Highlights iPhone 18 Pro Accessories, From Qi2 Power Banks to Fast Chargers

9to5Mac recommends Qi2 power banks, MagSafe stands, CarPlay adapters and fast chargers for the iPhone 18 Pro.

At the top of the roundup is the HyperJuice Next 5K Qi2 Solid-State Power Bank, which 9to5Mac describes as a true Qi2 semi-solid-state pack with 5,000mAh capacity. The article said it is airline carry-on compliant and includes a USB-C port in addition to the MagSafe pad, allowing two devices to charge at once. Hyper subjected the pack to more than 115 independent safety tests, according to the article, and designed it to withstand drops, bumps and extreme temperatures without swelling. 9to5Mac readers were given a discount code, 9TO5MAC20QI2BP, for what the article said was the lowest price it has tracked.

For Find My accessories, 9to5Mac recommends Nomad’s Tracking Card, citing the ultra-thin Air model and the higher-end Pro version with a metal bezel. It also includes the AirTag 2, saying the tracker expands the iPhone 18 Pro’s remote-tracking capabilities for items it can be attached to.

The roundup lists three 3-in-1 MagSafe charging stations as favorites: Satechi’s 3-in-1 Qi2 25W Foldable at $130, Nomad’s Qi2 25W Stand One Max at $170 and Anker’s Prime 3-in-1 Qi2.2 Charging Station at $170, down from $230. The article said it had tested a near-countless number of such stations and also likes Belkin models, but named the Satechi, Nomad and Anker units as its absolute three favorites. It described them as a sleek Space Black metal design, a high-end statement piece and a display-equipped model that can start conversations.

For CarPlay, 9to5Mac points to Twelve South’s AirFly Drive, which converts wired CarPlay to wireless in thousands of cars. The article said the accessory comes from Twelve South, a maker of reliable accessories.

On charging, the roundup includes Apple’s 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max, which has a compact foldable design and can charge an iPhone 18 Pro to 50% in 15 minutes, according to the article. It also recommends Beats Woven USB-C Cables in multiple sizes and colors, describing them as durable and tangle-free, and Anker’s Universal Nano 100W Smart Display Travel Charger, which has built-in international plugs, a display for live charging stats and up to 100W over USB-C. The article said that charger can power an iPhone, iPad, MacBook and other gear from one unit. It also names Anker’s Nano 45W Smart Display Charger, with a built-in display, updated device recognition, AVS support and over-the-air updates, as one of the best compact chargers for the phone.

The roundup also includes Baseus’s PicoGo Air 5K Power Bank for users who want a slim MagSafe battery for the iPhone 18 without adding much bulk. The article described the 5,000mAh pack as impressively thin and suited to quick top-ups on the go.
