As a number of vendors continue to launch unofficial Lightning accessories that support Apple’s newer iOS devices, Belkin previously became the first official vendor to introduce accessories using the Lightning connector and now Scosche announced its own lineup of charging accessories for use both at home and in the car. Many iPhone 5, iPad mini, and fourth-generation iPad owners will find their life being a whole lot easier.
Scosche said the following during their announcement:
