Belkin has this week unveiled the first third-party Apple Lightning Connector accessories, which have been designed for Apple’s new range of devices launched over the last couple of months, including the new Mini iPad and iPhone 5.
Belkin has created an in-car charger cable and a charge and sync dock for the new Apple Lightning connector, which are both priced at $29.99, and are now available to pre-order on the Belkin website with shipping expected to start in the middle of this month.
Innovative Design and Features
The Belkin Charge + Sync Dock design includes a foldaway AUX jack and removable magnetic base, together with an EarPods audio-out port for headphones or external speakers to be attached. This thoughtful design ensures that users can enjoy their music or take calls hands-free while their device is charging. The foldaway AUX jack is particularly useful for those who frequently switch between different audio setups, providing flexibility and convenience.
Moreover, the removable magnetic base allows for easy docking and undocking of the device, making it a practical solution for users who are always on the go. The magnetic base ensures that the device stays securely in place while charging, reducing the risk of accidental disconnections. This feature is especially beneficial for users who use their devices for navigation or other tasks while driving.
Belkin’s Legacy of Innovation
Martin Avila, general manager of Belkin’s core division explains: “Belkin was the first third-party manufacturer to develop accessories for the 30-pin connector back in 2003, and we are thrilled to be first to market again with solutions for the new Lightning connector,” Avila continues, “People are eager for Lightning accessories and Belkin’s give them a reliable way to keep their new iPhone 5, iPad 4th generation, iPad mini or iPod touch charged, protected, and ready to go.”
Belkin’s commitment to innovation and quality has made it a trusted name in the tech accessories market. The company’s early adoption of the 30-pin connector and now the Lightning connector demonstrates its ability to stay ahead of the curve and meet the evolving needs of consumers. By being the first to market with these new accessories, Belkin reinforces its position as a leader in the industry.
In addition to the in-car charger cable and charge and sync dock, Belkin is expected to expand its range of Lightning connector accessories in the near future. Potential new products could include portable battery packs, wireless charging solutions, and multi-device charging stations, all designed to enhance the user experience and provide greater convenience.
As Apple continues to innovate and release new devices, the demand for compatible accessories will only grow. Belkin’s proactive approach to developing and releasing these accessories ensures that consumers have access to high-quality, reliable products that enhance the functionality of their Apple devices. Whether it’s keeping devices charged on the go or providing seamless audio integration, Belkin’s new Lightning connector accessories are set to become essential tools for Apple users.
With the holiday season approaching, these new accessories also make for great gifts for tech enthusiasts and Apple fans. The combination of practical functionality and sleek design makes them a perfect addition to any Apple device setup. As more consumers adopt the latest Apple devices, the availability of third-party accessories like those from Belkin will play a crucial role in enhancing the overall user experience.
