Does anyone have any OBD dongle recommendations based on recent experience using the dongle with an iPhone (in my case 7 Plus) along with the ABRP application?

To explore how the ABRP + iPhone + OBD 2 work together I bought a NEXAS NexLink Bluetooth 5.0 OBDII Scanner and tried it out. It worked reasonably well but the High Voltage (HV) traction battery State of Charge (SoC) reported by the OBD 2 started to diverge from the SoC reported by the vehicle on the dashboard; the SoC reported by the vehicle being lower than that reported by the OBD 2 scanner. It left me wondering whether there is some sort of factor applied to the SoC reported by the car so that it is lower than the 'real' SoC to minimise the occurrence of battery exhaustion.
The main reason that the NEXAS NexLink isn't the right device is that it isn't Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and leaving it connected overnight significantly drained my 12v vehicle battery.
I am now going to try those that are mentioned on the ABRP page here.
