Invitation for September 22nd event |
Apple's keynote media event begins at 10 A.M Pacific Time / 1 P.M Eastern Time on October 22nd, 2013. Just a few hours away.
If rumour is to be believed (and rumours have been reliable in the past), the event will unveil an iPad 5, a new 9.7 inch (standard-sized) iPad which will feature a design that takes after that of the iPad Mini.
An iPad Mini 2 is also supposed to be released with retina display and new colour variants: space grey and gold. Apple may also release new smart covers, as hinted in the invitation.
A new line of Macbook Pros with Intel Haswell CPUs, 802.11ac, better battery life and other similar upgrades can be expected. This would be coherent with previous Macbook Air upgrades. A Haswell Mac Mini upgrade might also be seen although there's little news on that front.
OS X Mavericks, which was announced in June, will likely be talked about in a little more detail and a release date for it announced. A Mac Pro upgrade, which has been due since 2010, is also likely although technically that could happen anytime before December 21st. Even so, we can expect some more details on the Mac Pro to be clarified today.
