Apple is set to hold and iPad announcement event later this month according to AllThingsD. The Wall Street Journal property's Joh Paczkowski has claimed that October 22nd is the date that we will get to see what new iPads Apple plans on unveiling. While this event is set to focus on Apple's upcoming tablets, it is entirely possible that the new Max Pro and OS X Mavericks could put in an appearance.
There aren't that many details available at this moment, but AllThingsD seem confident that we will see both the iPad 5 and the iPad mini 2 being presented on stage. This puts to bed the claims that the iPad mini 2 won't be ready on time. Paczkowski also said that the iPad mini 2 will pack a new Retina display too, which is another fact that has been a matter of debate over the past couple of weeks.
Given the fact that AllThingsD have in the past been very accurate we are inclined to believe their sources. We are hoping that the new iPad mini 2 with a Retina display will be unveiled. Invites for this event should be arriving any day now if this news is correct so we'll know soon enough exactly what to expect. It is also expected that the new iPads will feature Apple's Touch ID sensor and if we are lucky enough we will also get to see a gold color option for the iPad mini 2 and the iPad 5.
For the time being, we remain in the dark but in a couple of days we should know more and we will report it all here so be sure to stay tuned to the blog for more information.
