Summary
9to5Mac’s new iPhone 18 Pro accessories guide spotlights portable power first, led by Hyper’s 5,000mAh Qi2 semi-solid-state power bank and Baseus alternatives for slimmer or faster 25W wireless charging.
Hyper’s model is pitched on safety and convenience: 115-plus independent tests, airline-compliant capacity, MagSafe charging plus a USB-C port for charging two devices at once.
Charging remains the guide’s main theme beyond batteries, with 3-in-1 Qi2 stations from Satechi, Nomad and Anker priced at $130 to $170, alongside Apple’s 40W adapter promising 50% charge in 15 minutes.
The roundup also extends the iPhone’s ecosystem use cases, recommending Nomad Find My wallet trackers, AirTag 2, Twelve South’s AirFly Drive for wireless CarPlay, and travel chargers up to 100W.
The guide arrives just after the iPhone 18 Pro launch and ahead of the iPhone 18 Duo, framing accessory buying as part of the broader upgrade cycle.
