Online auction giant eBay on Tuesday announced a batch of exclusive iPad accessory deals to celebrate the rollout of its redesigned iPad app, which sports a completely new interface designed for a more engaging experience.
Now at version 3.4, eBay for iPad brings a simplified user interface that is said to enhance user experience by focusing on product photos, content and curation.
The new app lets users browse and discover deals in a variety of categories, including Today, Deals, Following, Motors, Fashion, among others. Photos are a big part of the update and now take up a sizable portion of the display, with only minimal accompanying text.
To celebrate today's launch, eBay is offering iPad exclusive deals only available in-app, including price cuts on official Apple accessories like Lightning cable and Airport Extreme Router:
- Apple Airport Extreme Router - $138.99
- Apple Lightning cable - $7.99
- Beats By Dre Studio High Definition Noise Canceling Headphones - $249.00
- Jambox Mini JAMBOX Bluetooth Speaker - $64.99
- 360 Rotating Smart iPad cover case - $5.75 to $6.95

- Micro bluetooth speaker - $12.99

eBay also tweaked notifications, which are now accessible via a bell icon on the app's home screen, much like the iPhone iteration. Google and Yahoo ads have also been integrated into the app.
eBay for iPad is a free 52.2MB download from the iOS App Store.
