Which should you buy, Anker 533 Power Bank or Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 3 20000mAh 18W?

Buy the Anker 533 Power Bank for iPhone owners wanting faster-than-stock charging in a compact bank, though it is not the pick for laptop charging and wireless charging users. Avoid it for users needing exact port/dimension specs (not listed by Anker for this SKU). The Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 3 20000mAh 18W is the one to take for long trips needing a large capacity reserve and budget-conscious buyers who don't need 30W+ speeds, though it is the wrong buy for fastest possible charging and laptop charging.

Where the two are identical

Everything else lines up. Ac outlet and laptop charging 60w+ read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
