Apple to reportedly unveil new iPads and Retina iMac on October 16
The Apple Watch may not be available until early 2015, but Apple is still gearing up for what promises to be a busy holiday shopping season. According to John Paczkowski of Re/Code, Apple is planning to hold a special media event on Thursday, October 16 where the company is expected to unveil new upgrades to its iPad lineup and, rumor has it, a 27-inch Retina iMac. If the rumor mill is to believed, the 21.5-inch iMac model will, unfortunately, not be graced with the retina treatment. It's also believed that Apple will finally add Touch ID functionality to the iPad.
The event will reportedly be held in Apple's Town Hall Auditorium.
While Apple hasn't yet sent out any invites or issued any type of official confirmation, Paczkowski in particular has an exemplary record when it comes to disclosing the dates for Apple media events. Not only did he nail the date for Apple's iPad Air unveiling last year, he also correctly anticipated the date Apple would introduce the Apple Watch and its new iPhone models.
