One of the best perks of having an iPhone is the sheer amount of available accessories. Much as Android fans may not like to admit it, finding the perfect case, screen protector, charging dock, etc., for an iPhone is significantly easier than doing the same for a Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel. That point became even more apparent when Apple added MagSafe to the iPhone in 2020 — opening up a whole new world of magnetic accessories that Android phones have had to sit out on.

I have a fair share of MagSafe accessories I use daily with my iPhone 16. There’s an AUKEY charging dock on my nightstand that I put my iPhone on every night before bed. I also use Peak Design’s MagSafe wallet as my go-to wallet of choice. It’s slim, houses all the cards I need, and conveniently sticks on the back of my iPhone when I’m out and about.

More recently, I’ve added another MagSafe accessory to my arsenal. Believe it or not, it’s from one of the top Android brands. OnePlus launched the Slim Magnetic Power Bank late last month, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite iPhone accessories of the year.

OnePlus making an iPhone accessory? Has hell frozen over? Not yet (though it sure does seem like we’re getting close). This isn’t the first time OnePlus has created an iPhone accessory; it first did so in 2015 when it made iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s cases with its famous sandstone finish. Further, the Slim Magnetic Power Bank isn’t “technically” just an iPhone accessory; any phone with Qi2 can use it. However, given the snail’s pace adoption of Qi2 from Android phone brands, iPhones predominantly benefit from it.
