Apple Expected to Announce iPad Updates at Event Next Week

The image that accompanied Apple’s October 22 media event invite.

Apple sent out invites to its next product-filled media event this morning, which will be held on October 22 in San Francisco. The invite teases us with “We still have a lot to cover,” written below a colorful, fall inspired Apple graphic. We’re expecting Apple to announce a number of new additions to its lineup Tuesday, including highly-anticipated iPad updates.

Signs point to a redesigned fifth generation iPad that is styled like a larger version of the iPhone 5/5s rather than previous iPads. The iPad mini is also expected to get a major upgrade with the addition of a high-resolution Retina display.

What else could we see next week? We should get a closer look at OS X Mavericks, the next big update to Apple’s desktop operating system. Along with that, the MacBook Pro should get an upgrade for 2013. We could also get a better look at the Mac Pro, which we got a sneak peek of at WWDC this summer. As with last month’s event, we don’t think Apple is going to spend any stage time on the iPod line.

Apple already updated its iMac line for this year with faster processors and 802.11ac WiFi.

We’ll be there October 22 at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts to share everything Apple unveils. Stay tuned!
