A Canyon 5000 mAh is of comparable size and costs $12. It's not MagSafe, but frankly the cable is not a problem at all.

I'm an iPhone/Mac user, but this thing costs $99 and they didn't even bother to write out the damn capacity on the page (reportedly less than 4000 mAh).

I like Apple, but their accessories are truly reserved for people with either too much money, or too little intelligence.

I have a $25-ish Xiaomi 20,000 mAh power bank. It is thicc and can crush your toes if you drop, but it's reliable to hold power enough for a week for my phone, has two outputs supporting fast charging, and has microUSB _and_ USB-c inputs.
For the money this 3000 mAh Apple bank costs, you can have 4 of these lasting you literally a whole month.

Kinda hilarious.
