Amazon Prime Day is here, and it’s the perfect time to grab some essential mobile accessories for your smartphone, like the new iPhone 16 or Google Pixel 9. Or maybe you’re looking for something for someone else who could certainly benefit from some new gear.

Anker is a trusted brand name in the mobile accessory space, as it makes some of the best cables, chargers, screen protectors, and portable power banks. This specific one, however, is the ultimate in portable convenience, as it has an integrated USB-C (or Lightning) cable, a foldable AC plug, USB-C port, and even charges at 30 watts. It comes in multiple colors and is just .

I’ve been using an older variation of this power bank, but this version is even better. With a foldable AC plug, you can simply plug this directly into an outlet to charge, no extra adapters or cables necessary. Optionally, you can charge it via a USB-C cable, if an outlet isn’t available. The power bank even has a screen on it to tell you how long it will take to charge, and also how much juice is left.

This power bank is all about convenience. Not only does it have its own foldable plug, but it has its own integrated cable, so you don’t even need a separate one. You can choose between Lightning or USB-C for your needs, and the flat cable tucks away when you don’t need i, and doubles as a carrying strap. Anker also added another USB-C port here, which you can use for charging the power bank itself, or to charge up another device using another cable. Yes, it can charge up to two devices simultaneously.

Not only does this small power bank have all of the necessary cables built-in, but it also delivers fast 30W charging speeds. Most smartphones, including the iPhone 16 Pro, support fast charging at this speed, so you should be able to top off your phone quickly. The screen can even tell you the percentage of charge remaining and how long it will take to get to full.

While you can get your power bank in the standard black or white colors, Anker also added pops of color with pink, blue, and violet options to choose from. This is one of the best 5,000mAh battery packs around, so whether you’re picking one up for yourself or as a gift for someone else, this is bound to become a favorite.

The 10 accessories you need for your iPhone 16
iPhone 16 hands on.

Did you find a new iPhone under the tree this year? This year's iPhone 16 models represent a whole new ballgame for Apple's iPhone lineup, with the standard iPhone 16 drawing closer than ever to the flagship iPhone 16 Pro. For the first time in three years, Apple isn't leaving any of its iPhones behind on an older A-series chip, and all the latest jingle bells and whistles, like the new Camera Control, are available across the board.

However, getting the latest iPhone is just the start. You'll also want to — and in some cases need to — accessorize it. For most folks, the first step is protecting it in a good case. The new Camera Control button makes that trickier than usual, but the good news is that some case makers are already on it.

Clicks: They say this iPhone keyboard gives your mobile superpowers
It's a satisfyingly clicky, full QWERTY keyboard for your iPhone.

Typing on a smartphone isn't bad, but it's not exactly productive either. If you're typing out a long email, message or working with a document, chances are, you're probably going to migrate to a laptop or computer, Mac included. It's not only more satisfying to work on a full size keyboard, even a compact one, it's so much more intuitive. The answer, usually, is to grab a portable or compact keyboard that works with your phone. But I'm here to tell you there's a much better way, and it's completely accessible -- meaning it won't empty your bank account. Cue Clicks, or more aptly the Clicks iPhone keyboard. Designed for the iPhone 14, 15, and 16, it's essentially a case with a keyboard built-in, but it's soo clicky and satisfying. The brand also claims that it gives your iPhone "superpowers," and I'm convinced they're not wrong.

While there's no huge discount currently, it's already reasonably-priced. Starting at $139 for the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro, and $159 for the larger devices, like the iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. It's definitely something you should check out if you type a lot on your phone.
