Apple’s 16th October Event confirmed. New iPads and Macs to be announced

Apple has sent out invites for its upcoming 16th October event with the title “It’s been way too long.” Almost a year ago, the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina Display were announced offering a slimmer profile and a better display for its compact mini.
The original tablet that changes everything is needing a new update and the 2nd generation iPad Air is reported to be thinner, comes with a TouchID fingerprint scanner, a new gold colour option as well as updated processors derived from its current iPhone 6.
The iPad mini will likely to follow the same treatment but in a more affordable and compact size. Also expected is a couple of new Macs, with a possible iMac with Retina Display, smaller 12″ MacBook with Retina Display and new Mac mini.
