Which should you buy, Anker MagGo Power Bank 10K A1654 or Nitecore NB10000 Gen 2?

Buy the Anker MagGo Power Bank 10K A1654 for iPhone 12+ users who want true MagSafe-aligned magnetic charging, though it is the wrong buy for Android users without Qi2-compatible phones and anyone needing to charge a laptop or tablet. The same goes for anyone who wants a stand built in rather than propping their phone against something. The Nitecore NB10000 Gen 2 is the one to take for ultralight and thru-hiking backpacking trips and trail runners carrying minimal gear, though it is not built for laptop or high-wattage device charging and multi-device simultaneous charging (only 2 ports). Our rating of the Nitecore NB10000 Gen 2 (8.3/10): the lightest well-built 10,000mAh bank we've found, purpose-built for ounce-counting hikers.
