Apple confirms October 16 press event, where it may launch iPad and iMac upgrades

Today Apple sent out press invites confirming an October 16 event where it is rumored to debut upgrades to its iPad and iMac line. The invite, sarcastically, reads that “it’s been way too long.”

Apple is rumored to launch a new, thinner iPad Air at the upcoming event. Further fueling iPad Air upgrade rumors, purportedly leaked iPad Air 2 photos emerged earlier today. These photos depicted a device nearly as thin as the iPhone 6, with a Touch ID fingerprint reader, and a missing lock button.

Apple is also said to have Retina-screened iMacs in the works, and may publicly launch OS X Yosemite next week. Further suggesting Yosemite’s impending launch, Apple released its second OS X Yosemite Golden Master to developers yesterday.
