Just as sure as the sun rises in the East and TikTokkers purposely spill cans of beans on the floor just to suck them up with trendy wet vacuums, your phone will run out of batteries one day. Prepare for this inevitability for just $18 by taking advantage of the sale running on the during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days. On October 8 and 9, the brand is slashing the $30 price tag by 40% — that’s a bonkers deal.
If it’s not already in your cart (it should be), you should know INIU Portable Charger has a 4.6 rating from over 63,000 reviews on Amazon. Tens of thousands of people vouch for this lightweight wonder. It’s compatible with basically every iPhone and Samsung — it’ll even juice up an iPad. At half an inch wide, it’s one of the thinnest powerbanks on the market; you could literally fit it in your back pocket. The fact that it charges twice as fast as some of its competitors might be one of the reasons why it’s touted as Amazon’s Choice. It can charge an AirPods Pro case over 13 times before it runs out of juice. Think of all the true crime podcasts you can listen to!
There are a ton of deals happening during Prime Big Deal Days, but this is one of the few that are good for everyone. Seriously, if you have a phone, a tablet, or headphones, you need an external charger in your bag. You never know when the train is going to break down; your plane will be stalled on the tarmac, or the elevator will get stuck. (Come to think of it, transportation as a whole is a real headache.) An external charger isn’t just for making sure you can watch Netflix while you wait for the bus to move; it’s essential for safety. And $18 for a top-rated power bank? That’s a no-brainer.
