A seemingly popular choice of accessories these days is the dock that plugs straight in to the wall outlet, negating the need to have a long cable of any kind dragging along the floor or getting tangled up near the socket. The latest, and perhaps most promising, is the new Trunk Lightning charging cable by iLoveHandles. It’s neither a traditional cable,…
Following on from our new iPad release date story, another set of “new iPad” cases have been leaked from the Far East. The earlier story brought moulded cases from a Far East case maker which claimed the next iPad would be released on June 18 at WWDC. The latest leaks very much support those claims, with the cases picked up matching the form factor of…

You may remember right after the iPhone 5 announcement, and the introduction of the new Lightning port, there was a report that the Lightning cables used in Apple’s devices would require a specialized chip (which was replicated shortly after). Not too long after people showed discontent with Apple, it was announced that 3rd party cables would be able to…
In case you were in need of a shorter Lightning cable, and don’t trust 3rd party accessory makers, you can now buy a 0.5m cable straight from Apple. This is half the length of the one that was previously available (don’t worry, it still is) and is perfect for any docks you may have bought that you want to keep on your desk. However, Apple has…

Not because of the device itself, but more because of the fact that it made all of our old 30-pin iPhone docks useless. What’s worse for the dock loving community is that Apple has never offered a replacement or solution to lack of an official iPhone…
Cheap Lightning cables started showing up around the time that the authentication chip was hacked, but they weren’t very prevalent. Now, the website TVC-Mall has added an entire section dedicated to Lightning cables, most of them very cheap. Compared to Apple’s $19 one, these start at a mere $3.62. It doesn’t stop there though, there are also…
