What to Expect From Apple on 16 October 2014

Apple's October Event
If you think that 9 September 2014 is the last major event featuring Apple products, then you couldn't be more wrong. The tech giant is not yet finish this year and has one more ace in its sleeve this coming 16 October.

This blog already posted about the date and time of Apple's second special event of the fall, where the technology giant is rumored to be revealing a new line of updated iPad tablets and iMac computers with crisper displays.

Invitations to the event were sent out to the media this a few hours ago. Rumors and reporting up to this point suggest that the October event will be much more low key than the company’s iPhone 6 launching bonanza, where CEO Tim Cook premiered the two versions of iPhones, and the yet-to-be released Apple Watch.

As far as anybody can tell, there will be no mysterious cubic journalist barn nor a surprise appearance from a generally past-its-prime rock band. No, this event will likely be more low key.

The most prominent pre-event rumors suggest that Apple will make its iPad screens bigger, much like it did with its latest batch of iPhones. The tablets may also be equipped with Touch ID sensors that allow you to unlock your phone via fingerprint, a capability first introduced with the iPhone 5s.

As for the iMacs, they’ll likely have ultra-high-resolution displays and be released alongside OS X Yosemite, the revamped desktop operating system that Apple announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Though these iMacs will apparently feature the similarly thin frame of their predecessors, 9to5Mac reports that they’ll also come with a bunch of shiny new guts, like better WiFi antennas and faster processors.
