The previous design had a nice rubberized side which would sit nicely on a table on provide a nice phone to battery contact. They removed it for this hard plastic cross pattern which is not nice and looks and feels cheap. The previous model had blue LED lights to show battery level. This one has small white LED inside the power button. The power button on this one is in the center of the face instead of on the side. When you hold something like this your thumb naturally falls on the side, not on the center of the face like this. We are seeing nonsense like this throughout society... ignoring ergonomics and common sense just to CHANGE the previous deisgn. Porsche learned that the 911 is perfect and needs little aerodynamic changes, which they adhere to. Here, everything that was good was removed and changed. The edges of this are rounded making it look fat and like it's full of water. It looks cheap, feels cheap and IS cheap. The only reason I bought this was to get USBC. I absolutely hate these changes. It is bigger.... I want the power button back on the side.... I want my blue LED back... and get rid of this cheap plastic finish you chose!
I bought 3 a few months ago before the release of the iPhone 15. I've been promoting these powerbanks for 2 years on my YouTube channel and these don't work with iPhones 15 and they can't fix it. If you plan to upgrade your phone at some point, DON'T BUY THIS
I bought it for my Daughter, it's well manufactured meaning good materials quality and sturdy. It took about an hour to fully charge with a 15W power adapter, and she has been using it for her apple watch and other devices and so far it works flawlessly
It’s working beautifully. I think the instructions were sub par but my grandson who recommended your product gave me good instructions and I am all set to take it on a long delayed trip to Japan.
