All You Need to Survive : Apple October 22nd Event!

Apple is taking to the world-wide stage again this afternoon to bring us upgraded and innovated products that are guaranteed to make our lives simplier and more productive. Among the various products, we are likely to see the much anticapated iPad 5th Generation, a second generation iPad Mini, The Consumer release of OSX Mavericks & more details about the outlandish Mac Pro!  I would also like to see an upgraded iPod Classic (since we haven't seen a upgraded iPod this year!) Over the past few months we've seen leaked images of realistic components for the new iPads and even hands-on videos with some back-panels. Apple's iPad has been the crowd favoriote tablet for the past few years but with tablets like the new Kindle Fire HDX and the new Nexus 7 taking the market by storm , Apple needs to really secure their dominating position with these new updated iPads or it could be too late for the iPad race...

New iPads Expected to Release October 22nd! #Throwback

The Tablet family that you both know and love is about to get a flavour-packed update. Apple is expected to hold another press conference at the end of this month where the new iPads are set to take center stage. The Date October 22nd seems to be popular with many rumours. In this post i’m going to disect the various leaks and rumours that are flooding the internet and bring to you the best of them out there. 

iPad Mini With Retina Display

In the above picture you can have a good look at the upcoming iPad Mini 2 or The iPad Mini with Retina Display. You can see the rather familiar shape and texture of the current iPad mini but what we also see is a “Space Grey” colour variant as suppose to the Slate colour option with the current iPad mini which was a few shades darker. This means that we could actually see new colours supported on the Mini. The iPad Mini 2 will supposedly ship with : 

• Apple’s A6 Processor. 
• A 8MP Back-facing camera (Still no flash.)
• A Retina Screen With a Resolution of about 336 ppi 
• iOS 7 

Q - Will The new iPads have Touch ID like the iPhone 5S

A - There is a possibility that they might, we have discovered that the size    of the Touch ID Home Button can in fact fit in the new iPads body but whether they would do it is unlikely as it would make the iPads more costly.

iPad (5th Generation)

The pioneer tablet gets a facelift. This picture shows the alleged iPad 5 on top of the iPad With Retina Display (4th Generation.) As you can see above the tablet has adopted the much loved design of the iPad mini. The back has a matte finish with the new black apple logo to match the flatter design of iOS 7. I personally prefer this back as suppose to the current back, the new backing has better grip and looks cleaner and more appealing. Along with a design update, the iPad is sure to get a upgraded processor and camera.

Other Products

We could also see the GM (Golden Master) of OSX Mavericks launch to the public at that event and with that we could also finally get more information about the revamped Mac Pro that Apple teased earlier this year. So it goes without saying that this event is going to be much more interesting than the previous September event and we will definitely see more NEW technology debuted.
