Apple Announces New ‘Mini’ Smart Covers, Lightning Accessories

To go alongside the newly unveiled iPad mini, Apple also announced a range of ‘mini’ smart covers to provide the same functionality that the normal ones do for the full iPad.

They come in five colors and a product(RED) model, and while the price remains unconfirmed, it seems that it’s going to be the same as the normal version.

New Lighting cables were also announced: VGA, Digital AV, USB (Camera) and SD Card will all be able to connect to the iPad for easy data transfers.

Only polyurethane versions of the Smart Cover are available for the iPad mini however, so if you like the leather, look elsewhere. The five colors are black, grey, pink, green and blue as well as the PRODUCT(RED).

Pricing for the cables is yet to be announced. You can check out all of our editorial coverage surrounding Apple’s keynote by visiting our ‘iPad Mini Event‘ tag!
