Works just not as well as advertised

I like the size and the simplicity but it will not charge 2Xs as advertised. My phone was at 32% and although it did charge and fairly fast the battery was down to 11% when the phone hit 80%. Good for emergencies with only one use before needing to recharge.

Thank you for the feedback, and we&#39;re glad you like the size and simplicity. Wireless charging is less efficient than wired charging — some energy is always lost as heat during magnetic induction — so wireless output is typically lower than the unit&#39;s rated capacity. For closer to the advertised charging capacity, we recommend using the included USB-C cable, which delivers significantly more power to your phone than wireless. We appreciate your honest review.<br />— The iHome Team

Do NOT work as advertised

Very compact is the only plus. My family has IPhone 16’s , smallest to 16 pro max, and they will barely charge them. The phone will be at 40%. This battery pack will be at 100%. The battery packs will get very hot and get the phones maybe up to 75%. I bought two of these and they both do the same thing. I don’t know how they advertise two charges out of one pack. There are other packs that perform as these are advertised, these don’t. I keep them for a 20% boost in an emergency, but I would not buy them based on their claims of a total re-charge of your device. Also, I have charged both batteries to 100% the day before we have plans. I unplug them overnight, and the next morning with no input or output, they are at 80%. The MagSafe connection is sturdy.

Barely gave my 50% charge

I fully charged it… left in my purse overnight. Went to use it and it had dropped down to 84%. Went ahead and used it. My phone still has about 24% battery life left. It only charged me up to 53% and it was dead lol. So not worth much of anything! I got it for about $15 so for that price it’s not bad to have as a backup but if it won’t even hold a charge not in use it may not even be useful for that!

Thank you for the feedback. A small amount of self-discharge over time is normal for lithium-ion batteries, though dropping to 84% overnight is more than we&#39;d typically expect — it&#39;s possible something was drawing power, like the unit being activated by movement in your purse. Wireless charging is also less efficient than wired, so output will be lower than the rated capacity. For maximum charge transfer, we recommend using the included USB-C cable. We appreciate you sharing your honest experience.<br />— The iHome Team

Tried on a Samsung

Tried on a Samsung S26 Ultra. It will charge the phone, although it's pretty slow, it gets very warm while charging, and it doesn't have a lot of capacity. Also, it does not seat properly on the Samsung because of Samsung's lower vertical camera lenses. Not a fault of the power bank, but because of that I will be returning.

It over heats. I've tried the wireless and wired charge and both cause the battery to significantly over heat. Even fully charged, it only increases your phone battery by it's only enough to take a phone from dead to 50% charged

Charges fast. Magnet is amazing. Small size. All, that comes with a price. The price is the amount of charge it delivers is low. Takes my Samsung S24 from 15% to 70% and is dead. Great for an emergency boost but not so great for anything else.

Ok

It took 1.5 hours to charge my iPhone 13 Pro 256 Gb and only at 97% at that, and iHome battery showed 0 in indicator light. My phone is supposed to be ~3500 mAh and this powerbank is supposed to have 5000mAh, why did it not fully charge my phone and drained? Phone was at 19% of 97% capacity so around 3395 mAh (from 665 mAH) .. so supposedly, it needs 2730 mAh to fully charge and the battery supposedly has 5000 mAh. The battery charged at 20% in 20 minutes. Charged to 100% from 11:38am to 1:02pm (~80mins). I would have to make a few more tries to see if the performance improves. Overall, I feel that yes it's thin and lightweight, so it's good for adding juice at the end of the day.

You can charge your Samsung phone using the USB-C cable and 20W PD output on this power bank, but the magnetic “MagSafe” attachment feature is designed for Apple iPhones and typically won’t magnetically snap to Samsung phones without a special magnetic Qi2 case.
