The £20 gadget worth £160 that makes your sluggish iPhone feel brand new again with huge battery boost

IF your iPhone has become sluggish and worn out there’s a gadget that might be able to give it a much needed power boost.

And at the moment, the accessory is only £19.99 instead of £159.99 on Amazon if you’re a Prime member.

TRKOY 5,000mAh power bank – £19.99 £159.99

There are all sorts of power banks on the market but many are bulky and cumbersome.

However, there is a MagSafe ultra slim one that sticks onto the back of your iPhone for ease.

“Very easy to carry in your pocket for charging on the go,” one buyer has wrote on Amazon‘s review section.

“Light weight, no cables to fuss with did a perfect job and I could easily still use the phone while it was charging,” another said.

A third person commented: “This is a great little battery pack that has proved very useful, as my iPhone 14 doesn’t last as long as it used to.

“This smart battery pack with MagSafe just clings to my iPhone and charges it to 100%.”

The device is made by a company called TRKOY who sell a number of gadgets on Amazon.

This particular power bank has a 4.4 out 5 star rating, based on more than 3,000 reviews.

It stores 5,000mAh, which is more than one whole iPhone can store.

And as it’s MagSafe it powers your iPhone wirelessly, so you don’t need any cables hanging out of the bottom.

When you do need to recharge the power bank it supports USB-C, so it should power up again pretty quickly.

Are apps draining my battery?

You can easily check to see which apps and features are draining the most battery.

Just go into Settings > Battery and you can look at a long list of apps order by how much charge they’re using.

If there are any high-drain apps you don’t really care about, consider deleting them.

Or try turning off Background App Refresh for that app if you don’t want it to periodically check for new info (like email notifications). Just note that this might make the app work less well.
