"Companies like Samsung, Tecno, Honor, and Apple are actively locking horns here, shaving off precious millimeters off their phones to make them slimmer and sleeker, without really any strength tradeoff. The iPhone Air is a legitimately strong phone, and took over 200 lbs of pressure to break according to JerryRigEverything's strength test. The problem, however, with a slim phone isn't bendability or breakability... it's battery capacity."
"These slim phones end up boasting pro-grade performance, but at the cost of battery life. To be honest, nobody ever asked for ultra-slim phones - go on the streets and ask anyone and they'll tell you day-long battery is more important than a slick gadget. The solution exists in broad daylight too - MagSafe power banks ... but slap a chunky power bank on even a regular phone and it ends up looking like you're using a massive Nokia Communicator phone."
"These power banks are all under 10mm, which means they should attach to your phone without adding too much visual bulk. We've zeroed down on 11 power banks that fit this unique problem statement... I've added the 11th one not just because it's technically impressive, but also I begrudgingly had to add Apple's MagSafe Power Bank for the iPhone Air to this list (even though it literally only works with one smartphone)."
The tech industry now competes on device slimness, with companies shaving millimeters to produce sleeker phones without sacrificing structural strength. Ultra-slim designs often reduce battery capacity, producing pro-grade performance at the cost of shorter battery life. Most consumers prefer day-long battery over extreme thinness. MagSafe power banks under 10mm offer a thin external power solution that minimizes added visual bulk. Eleven sub-10mm MagSafe power banks satisfy this niche, including Apple's MagSafe Power Bank for the iPhone Air despite its single-device compatibility. Unexpected brands like SnapWireless supply some of the thinnest models, signaling wider advances in battery R&D.
