IMac is just an update so it may not even get a mention at the event. I would expect 13" rMBP to though.
Got a tip for us?
Let us know
Apple's 'iPad Mini' Media Event Planned for October
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort (Likes)
It's really tough to share the spotlight with a new iPhone release however if the iPad mini is true it does make a little more sense to have dedicated media events as oppose to cramming 2 in one day.
Wishful thinking. The current thinking is that it will look a lot like an enlarged iPhone or iPod Touch (with a narrower bezel along the vertical edges). The iPhone is the prior art here. After all, a jury just validated its trade dress and patents yesterday.
Hmmm... so you mean to tell me Apple which has only ever had a 9.7" screen, is now going to COPY Android tablets and release a smaller 7" range tablet???
Wow, so in our current mactopia, it's totally okay for Apple to copy, but not the other way around.
Funny how it works. So much for justice and equality eh?

No I'm not, but apple wasn't the first company to come up with the features they sued for. Apple is just acquiring companies, getting there patents and using them only to fight competitors like now.
Kind of like the Dock in OS X and iOS that people think apple made.

I know a couple people who've said they're definitely buying it. They said the iPhone was too small and the iPad too big, so I guess it fits a need. It'll be interesting to see how well it sells. I'm perfectly happy with my current iPad. 
No troll, just conclusion from observation. Look at my join date. I've had an iPhone 4s since release date. A few weeks ago at the start of this trial, I sold it and bought a Galaxy Nexus.
Is the Nexus that much better? Of course not, but is it different? Very much so.
My point being, Apple has lost me as a customer. Not that they need my support, but over the entire course of my life, 30 plus years, I've never boycotted a company until now.
The Marketwatch trollers and Seeking Alpha ranters will have a field-day with the two different dates, complaining how Tim Cook has made another bone-headed non-Jobsian move.
I love watching hot-headed fireworks...
And I will upgraded my "antique" iPhone 4 to the new model. Not sure if I'll be in the market for the 1st-edition miniPad.

iMac in one
I think they will give us the iMac 2012 refresh in one of these two events.
I don't think there will be much to say about the iPhone 5; iOS6 is already (partly) presented, the new screen size and maybe LTE. None of these things are revolutionary - LTE will not be usable for most consumers for a while yet.
I'm guessing the iPad Mini is not particulary revolutionary either. It is a smaller iPad, the size of a Galaxy tab, and not much more than that, right? Not much to talk about really.
So a brilliantly beautiful new iMac would be a clever add-on to one of these presentations. I know iOS and OSX - devices are not normally presented in the same events, but I really don't see why that is a problem. And Tim Cook does things differently from Steve Jobs anyways, so what's to say this won't be different as well..?
Anyone with me?

Unless they don't release something along with the 'iPad mini', I see this event being a pretty short one.
The October event will be in Arizona. Whether is an iPad mini, ITV,icar I do not know. Apple poised to bring manufacturing ( albeit a small amount) back to the US.
Not really. It isn't the same size, the screen area is almost 40% larger.I think they will give us the iMac 2012 refresh in one of these two events.

Very excited for the new iphone and ipad mini ... i hope the ipad mini display is retina or close to retina ..
Hmm, I wonder if this is going to be with the rumored new iPod range. Would make sense, because honestly, there's no new features other than the size that they'll most likely be introducing. So why not have multiple products to show off within the span of 2 hours? Don't really care too much though, I just want to get the iPhone 5 already!
