The answer — one pick, priced

UGREEN MagFlow
$20 under your budget
The world's first Qi2.2 25W magnetic bank — it doubles the old MagSafe ceiling and adds a built-in 30W cable, the clear phone-first pick across 9 sources.
Fit ledger — need → measured evidence
■ The catch — co-equal billing, always
Only your newest iPhone gets the 25W. Qi2.2 needs an iPhone 16 Pro+/17 or Pixel 10 Pro — on an iPhone 12-15 the MagFlow quietly drops to 15W, no faster than a $53 pad.

Traps — this verdict avoids
Why the UGREEN MagFlow is right for you
It avoids every trap below — and for just me, under $80, it is the pick because it delivers:
Phantom capacity
Rated mAh is measured at the cell's 3.7V — your phone charges at 5V, so you actually get only 65-70%. A "10,000 mAh" bank delivers about 6,500 mAh of real charge.
Flight-banned capacity
Power banks over 100 Wh (~27,000 mAh) need airline approval, and anything over 160 Wh is banned from flights entirely. We keep travel picks under the line.
Wireless that isn't fast
Qi2.2 25W only works on an iPhone 16 Pro+/17 or Pixel 10 Pro — pair it with any older iPhone and it silently falls back to 15W, no faster than a cheap pad.
