Apple Dispatches Invitations for October 16th Event

Just as the rumor mill predicted, Apple sent out event invitations this morning for their October 16th event. It’ll be held at the Town Hall auditorium at the Apple HQ at 10:00 AM Pacific on October 16th. The tag line of the invitation is “It’s been way too long."

Chances are this will be a pretty predictable Apple event, starting out with Tim Cook bragging about how many iPhones they’ve sold then moving on to talking about the release date of OSX Yosemite, then unveiling a bunch of new hardware. The internet suspects this will include new iMacs (with retina displays?), potentially a new Mac Mini, and of course new iPads.

The new iPads, like every other new iPad unveiling, will very likely be thinner, faster, get slightly better battery life, have marginally better screens, and hopefully will include Touch ID. There could be some other surprises too, but we’ll have to wait until next Thursday to find out.
