Hello,
I've seen a lot of deals from this site for power banks. Which one is the best to buy. I have an iPhone 6s and am using it for Pokemon Go.

There will probably be endless debate about which is the "best" - but I'm reasonably sure the most popular Ozb powerbank for any phone type would be the https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/257556 - Hard corers (which I dont think you are) will talk about QC 2.0 3.0 input out put this that or the other but I think the average bargaineer just wants something good for around $20-30 which is the Xiaomi range.
The best is the one with QC 3.0. It charges faster than anything else. They asked for the best not what the average Ozbargainer cheapskate buys.
That said I don't own any Apple devices so I'm not sure whether it works for them or not.
Apple devices cannot utilise QC2/3. Anything charging up to 2.4a is best for Apple.

If you're able to carry it in a backpack/don't mind something a bit heavier, go for something like this. That should be able to keep you powered for 2-3 days on a single charge. 2 USB ports also.
If you want something cheap and low profile to hold in your hand behind the phone, the 5000mAh slim bank is great and should last at least a day.
10% off storewide at Mushtato. Much quicker than getting them shipped from China (Aus company), hence the higher price.
I'm thinking about getting this:

Or one of the similar alternatives from other brands.
This is more about ergonomics, but think about how you will be carrying the powerbank and where the USB plug is going. especially larger capacity ones.
Most people look at the power bank and say yep it fits nicely here and here but put a USB Plug in and now it becomes a bit more interesting.
I have 12,000mAH with side USB ports. It is perfect to lay on its side in jacket pockets (or backpack) with the USB port not adding to the length of the product. (I bought it specifically to use while motorcycle riding)
I could put it into pants front pocket, but it is too bulky and heavy, USB plug is in wrong spot - you want USB plug on end of unit so powerbank sits tall in pocket.
Don't think it makes a difference what phone or what you use it for.
