As far as Christmas gifts go, anything that is useful is good with me. The iWalk Sparkly Portable Charger is a USB-C charger with the added appeal of being sparkly, and in the case of the model sent to me to review, it’s purple too!
Suitable for newer iPhones as well as lots of other models and gadgets, the iWalk is easy to charge and easy to use. Inside the box, the charger has a cable which hooks up to your PC via a USB-C so that you can charge it whilst you’re working. It holds 500mAh of charge, which is about 2.5 battery life charges for my iPhone 16 if you start with the iWalk fully charged. It’s also able to be used with the iPhone 15 and SAMSUNG S24/23+, Google Pixel 3, AirPods, iPads and some other phone and tablet models too.
With its sparkly purple colouring, it looks like a piece of make-up rather than a boring techie object and can fit in even the smallest of handbags. I particularly like having it because you can put it in your bag and forget about it, plus you can plug it into your phone and still be using your phone (or tablet!) at the same time. Not many charging banks are easy to use like that, but the iWalk is designed to be used on the go. It even comes with its own pouch for keeping in your luggage or handbag!
This is a great gift for a teenager or a stocking filler for your loved one. It’s a bit more expensive than some chargers, but it makes up for it by being quicker on charging (42% in 30 minutes for an iPhone 16) and the super handy size that can fit anywhere!
