What’s better than one autumnal Apple event? Two... Obviously. The folks from Cupertino evidently agree, for on Tuesday they dispatched invitations to the media for a gathering next Tuesday, October 22, in San Francisco at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater. The show kicks off at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern.
In teasing the event, Apple says “We still have a lot to cover”; the image shows a kaleidoscope of the iconic leaf from the Apple logo in a variety of different colors—a very fall-like image. No doubt much speculation is already focusing on the significance of said leaves.
Apple’s plans to hold this event were first reported last week. It’s widely expected that Apple will take the opportunity to roll out new iPads, including a fifth-generation version of the 9.7-inch model and a new iPad mini that may feature a Retina display. Likewise, the company will probably take at least a little bit of time to discuss the forthcoming OS X Mavericks and redesigned Mac Pro, both of which are scheduled for a fall relase. And when it comes to Apple, you can never completely rule out something unexpected up the company’s sleeve. (Veiled smartwatch reference? Check!)
