9to5mac has obtained the part numbers, description, and pricing on six new accessories that will be coming today thanks to the Apple event scheduled in a few hours.

Four new Lightning adapters are planned to be released by Apple: HDMI and VGA adapters, which were previously promised to arrive, as well as Lightning editions of the SD card and USB camera adapters.

Also in the parts list is a new 12 Watt USB power adapter, slightly different than the 10 Watt USB power adapter sold with the current iPad. The higher wattage is being sold with the refreshed iPad for faster charging times, since the iPad has such a large battery.

Finally, there is a 60W Magsafe 2 Adapter, which is obviously for the 13" Macbook Pro. The current 13" Macbook has a 60W adapter, while the 15" has an 85W adapter. Earlier this year, Apple released Magsafe 2 85W adapter for the Macbook Air, which the retina Macbook adopted.
