No one knows. You'll find out when Tim Cook says the date on stage.
Don't get too wrapped up in the whole "It HAS to be before their birthday"
Someone in my family got an iPhone 4S for their birthday on September 9th. The iPhone 5 was announced September 12th. My entire family (even the non-tech savvy ones!) were strongly advising for them to wait just a few days, and if they still want a 4S, get it cheaper but still try and get the 5.. But nope. It HAD to happen on their birthday. Dumb mistake. Three days later, they realized they were dumb as well. It was a huge "I told you so" moment.
I think a better birthday present would be "We are getting you the newest tablet when it releases in a couple weeks!" Rather than getting a "brand new" tablet that suddenly becomes old just weeks later.
Even if the tablet is announced and released in time, you might not get it right when you are supposed to because of shipping delays when it first releases. So keep that in mind.

No, the iPad Mini 4 will not be released in October. It will be in November, just as the pattern of previous releases has shown. Deal with it.
Every few months, some newbie vies for number 1 contributor to the Wasteland. This guy is fast on his way.
Agree with you completely. To the topic: you're going to have to be patient. Try to reign in the rampant consumerism.
Visit the Cupertino campus and find it out - for yourself and for us too. I "need" it today as my MBP 2011 is on its last legs. Even I can't wait.
Mods please wasteland this thread already!
Y'know, I think you're right...... Got confused there with previous years' purchases!
And now Tim Cook will be spammed with useless email after email by ipadpro just like he spams threads and posts here.
Maybe for your birthday you could get yourself Rosetta Stone
Out of curiosity, how many languages can you converse in?
