I can see them detailing the new iPad lineup and just releasing them in Oct. It would be a complete iOS event then. iPhone's, iPad's and iOS 7.
I'll go out on a limb and say this is true.

Apple's September 10 iPhone Media Event Said to Also Include New iPads [Updated]
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date

Which is pathetic considering they've had an entire year to go all out.
But it's okay, let the competitors grow even more.
Dates
Apple will announce the products on Tues, Sept 10, they will be available for pre-order on Fri, Sept 13, but it won't be until Fri, Sept 27 for them to be available for purchase/pick-up.

2 weeks after the annoucement? doubt it.. they will be available for purchase on the 20th!
I don't mind my current mini for reading but an improvement will hopefully mean I can read longer without any eye fatigue
I would have thought they'd split the events, like last year. Last year had the iPhone 5 event on September 12th, then another event later on for the iPad 4, iPad mini and new iMac.
I would love an iPad Mini with retina! Thats the only thing holding me back from buying one for college.
You should have added the "Safari is snappier" and "Steve would not allow it" to make the full typical statement
Or perhaps you can wait until the 10th before doing the usual "apple is doomed" comment
what's in that pot ...
Considering the last earnings conference call, it might make perfect sense trying to push out new iOS devices asap so that they 'push-up' the trimester.
It would bring also order into the line-up of events:
1) iOS centered with iPhones and iPads (September)
2) OSX centered with MacPros, iWorks, iLife etc... (October)
3) and if some wicked rumors are to believed: news on the iTV front in November (perhaps an announcement for jan/feb availability?) - just to hurt competitors in their x-mas business... and to have something to present in the beginning of the year.

We don't even need new hardware for that. Just new software for the existing hockey pucks. A screen is just a screen.
I suspect that my 2nd-gen ATV would be left out in the cold though.
Still, what's another $99 for a revolutionary viewing experience?
What happened with the iPhone and new Android phones is now starting to happen with the iPad - slowly chipping away at it's dominance.
Apple REALLY need some new iPads.

Gazelle agrees wtih you.
They've already sarted their lock-in pricing for iPhone 5 buy back based on that date.
And how do you come to that conclusion? Last year iPods were introduced at the iPhone event. Even if the iPhone is a major upgrade you don't need 2 hours to talk about it.
That is more what would happen. It's highly unlikely they would want to push that much traffic on one day.
I hope so. I'm definitely not opposed to the idea of an iTV, but I hope they wait until mass-producing 4k televisions is more cost-effective. Understandably, such an Apple device would command a premium, probably a 30% markup on the price of comparable models, but with your major CE producers charging $5k - $7k, Apple would be hard-pressed to find a market.
Apple's never going to be able to compete with the cheap white box Android devices sold in China.
Or one big event to kill the rumors, stifle any buzz Samsung has gotten from the 4th. And then split launches.
Or isn't. Apple does as they want. If they want to talk about both, they will.

Even perhaps the Apple TV. It is possible
The only thing in the article that is 99% sure to be BS is the implication Apple is doing anything because of Samsung. Tim Cook has shown that he agrees that chasing what the other players are or might be doing is not his style.
