Apple Said to Plan October 21 Media Event to Launch New iPads, OS X Yosemite [Update: No]

October 21 would correspond perfectly with the date that Apple has done the iPad event the last 2 years. So if he's right when he says that it's not happening then, that must mean there will likely not be an iPad event at all in 2014.
 
Don't know much or anything about Imac's but can't you upgrade them on your own? What would a new model bring that you couldn't already upgrade for yourselves?
 
new rumor...

Apple is so sick of Samsung that they are in talks to buy the giant and then shut it down.

This is from a very good friend with knowledge of the plans.

See how easy it is to make stuff up and then have the entire world believe it?

but imagine IOS powered warships
 
Apple probably was initially planning the event, but with all the delays from Intel apple has few products left to update. The iPad is not enough for a whole event.
 
Hoping that new ipod touches are announced along with the new iPads and ios8 at the October event. Larger ones like a 4.7" and a 5.5" model with faster chips and better cameras. :)

Then apples line up would be:

Iphone 6
Iphone 6 plus
iPod touch 4.7"
iPod touch plus 5.5"
IPad mini
IPad Air
Ipad pro 12" ( rumored)

Yup. That'd pretty much cover things. :)

a workout ipod is called iPod shuffle or iPod nano. I have the shuffle and it works great for working out, but you need to get EarPods with the remote

I highly highly doubt they will update the iPod line at all. There is no reason to bring the 4.7 screen to the touch. If iPhone 6 doesn't get Android users to switch, offering a new iPod touch with a bigger screen won't either.

you're forgetting about the huge crowd out there that wants a device with no contract or monthly fee, like me. I'm planning on getting a new ipoad mini, unless they come out with a 5.5 iPod touch. Either one would be a high upgrade for me from my 3yr old iPod touch
 
I'd like to see a new iPod touch. I'm in high school who can't afford an iPhone right now however I'm looking to upgrade from my 4th gen iPod.

Are your apps not performing? I have not noticed any issues with mine. Serious question, not trolling.

Mainly web browsing with multiple tabs. There does not seem to be enough RAM to cache more than a couple of tabs. So when I have to go back and forth between tabs there is a significant delay while pages reload. Other than that I'm thrilled with my iPad Air.

If 2014 is the most exciting lineup of new stuff, they have to have a couple of more events. There has been some okay stuff, but nothing really exciting. There was much expectation, but so far little delivery. The new iPhones are all nice etc, but nothing amazing. The watch looks promising, but again so far not really a MUST HAVE.

Yea.. when Eddy Cue said this was the best year of products he had ever seen, I think we start expecting much more than a yearly update of iphone/ipad and tiny updates to macs :confused:

Apple should hold back iCloud Drive on iOS until Yosemite is released. There are going to be a lot of angry folks that upgrade and break the connection to Mavericks.

They give a very clear warning to folks. It's not their fault if someone does it.

I would personally love an integrated stylus (like the s pen or the one seen with latest surface) as a college student I think it can be very useful with the right app such as notability. Doubt it is coming though as we would have surely heard rumors by now !

Apple has made a big deal out of not making stylus all these years so don't hold your breath.

what we might maybe get is a screen that is more writing friendly with perhaps the same slight level of pressure sensitively that they showed in the Apple Watch. and maybe a more sensitive screen in terms of the contact points so that you can do a finer line. But these will be for finger writing or those 3rd party tools.
 
It might be one of those silent updates. I got pissed when they did that with the 4th gen when I just bought the 3rd gen well over 30 days. I was expecting an release every March then Apple had to pull that crap for the holiday season. I'd expect the usual, processor and RAM update, iPhone Plus camera, and improved battery. I'd say the big updates happen every two years like with the iPhone. This is not the year.
 
Unless we see an ipad pro it would seem Tim Cook boasts of exciting products in the pipeline is baseless. Admittedly, iphone 6 and 6+ were hits--and i guess the payments thing may prove to be a winner.
 
We're in that odd time between the events, where the iPhones are new but the iPads are old. Kind of like that week between Christmas and new year.
