I've really come to appreciate the Anker GAN Prime 733 which combines a 1 MAH power bank and wall charger in one handy device. I leave it plugged in all of the time so I know it'll be full when I need it. It has folding plug prongs which let you plug it directly into the wall socket or power bar. It has two USB C ports and a USB A port. You'd also need a Lightning to USBC cable which Anker makes. I also have a 2 MAH battery from Energrid. It gives audio beep feedback and vibrates to let you know when something's connected or when it's charging. Between those two batteries, I know I'm covered for a good eight or nine full iPhone charges. That'll see me through around three or four days. More if I'm conservative. If you're worried about longer spans of time, there are much bigger power banks. The two batteries I have are very portable and both will easily fit in a shoulderbag. Besides the USBC to Lightning cable, I would also suggest you get a spare USB C to USB C cable. That may be useful for other accessories like USB headsets, emergency radios or Bluetooth keyboards. You can always charge other power banks while you have electricity using the ports in the 733 charger. Hope that helps a bit. Amazon has a slight discount here in Canada on a number of Anker products. Doubtless, this is true in the US also. There are a very wide range of other bands and you'll hopefully hear from people more experienced with those as well.

Re: Walmart Black Friday deal
Replying to my own message here. And in the end, kind of wanting to take care of everything myself, I took another chance and just made the online purchase of my two upgrade phones on Wednesday night, so I'm hoping I get both gift cards OK this time. I had really only planned to upgrade my 13 mini to a 15 pro and get the $300 gift card for it. But when I saw that there was a $500 gift card to purchase a 14+, even though I'm not crazy about the bigger phones, I wanted that gift card and so upgraded my 12 mini to the 14+ as well. Since my TV watching is done through my phones only as I have no actual television, I figured the 14+ with its bigger speaker than the mini phones I now use would be good for that.
