Pictures of Apple’s new Smart Case for the iPad

By

When Apple introduced the iPad 2, the company also brought with it the Smart Cover, which protects the iPad’s screen and provides a nice stand for the tablet. Unfortunately, the Smart Cover doesn’t protect the entire tablet.

This week, Apple finally introduced a version of the Smart Cover that wraps around the entire device, dubbed the Smart Case. It still works like the Smart Cover, but now the rear is covered as well. The Smart Case comes in a variety of shades, runs for $49 at the Apple Store, and comes with free laser engraving. For more details, check out our original coverage of Apple’s new Smart Case.

By this time next year, Apple may have installed its own in-house Wi-Fi chips in all of its phones, or at least one of them.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known analyst with a trusted record, Apple is working on its own Wi-Fi chips to replace the current ones from Broadcom, but there's not a firm timeline on when they'll arrive (via MacRumors).
