Review Text: Phone sized battery pack. I recently got a new iPhone 13, and it uses a USB-C to lightning cable. This charger mentions that it has "USB-C Recharging" but that only refers to the way that the charger itself gets charged, so that's a bit misleading. My iPad Pro uses a USB-C to USB-C, so I guess I would need an adapter to use this charger for it. It took several hours to charge up this unit to full capacity when I received it, so don't forget about that part before taking it with you somewhere. To charge my iPhone I had to go back and find an old USB-A to lightning cable. It did seem to charge my iPhone up in a similar amount of time, so it wasn't really an issue. It took under 1.5 hours for my iPhone to go from 58% to 100%, in my non-scientific time test. I am not sure how long the phone was at 100% for. I prefer to cut off the charging at 99%, so it was probably only a few minutes. This portable charger can charge up two devices at once, there are two USB-A ports for charging. The USB-C port in between the A ports is only to charge the unit itself. This unit weighs 8.4 ounces/ 240g. The exterior is very slippery, in fact, I was wondering what I could put on it so it would be less slippery when I dropped it because it slipped out of my hands. The exterior though is quite sturdy and it didn't crack, it sort of bounced off of the tile floor. There is a black mesh bag with a drawstring for storage that comes with this. It doesn't cinch up all the way but the charger fits in it just fine. I would put the port side down into the bag, otherwise the ports would be exposed to dust and dirt. As you can see from my photos, the charger is very similar in size to my iPhone 13. It seems like a solid charger. Anker is a good brand and I have several of their products. This would make a great gift for almost anybody, who couldn't use a portable charger?
