The time has come again to mark your calendars-- according to AllThingsD the 5th generation iPad launches on 22 October at an event hosting fresh demos of the new Mac Pro and OSX Mavericks.
Where will it take place? Probably either the Apple Cupertino HQ or the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco.
AllThingsD is fairly reliable when it comes to Apple launches, having rightly reported (if not simply guessed) the iPhone 5C/5S reveal date back in August. Such a roll-out schedule is also similar to the one seen last year with the iPhone 5 and iPad 4/mini launches.
Further speculation includes latest iPad features-- thinner, lighter design similar to the iPad mini's, improved camera, use of the 64-bit A7 chip (maybe with the M7 co-processor) and TouchID fingerprint sensor.
Last month The Wall Street Journal also suggested Apple will introduce an iPad mini armed with a high-resolution Retina display and multiple colour back covers.
Interestingly enough another vendor is holding an event the same date-- the Nokia Innovation Reinvented Showcase.
