The invitations sent out for a media event in San Francisco on 22nd October could be for one of two things, a new iPad or an apology for iOS7.
As we don’t think it will be the latter, it is expected that Apple will lift the curtain on the iPad 5 and the iPad Mini 2, according to the Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/10382191/New-iPad-5-and-iPad-Mini-2-expected-at-Apples-22-October-event.html).
On the brightly coloured invitations it states: “We still have a lot to cover.”
And we couldn’t agree more – will the new iPad also have a fingerprint reader? Will it work better with the love-it-or-hate-it iOS7 (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/20-ios-7-responses-easy-to-use-poor-battery-looks-nice-it-s-shit/022451)? Will there be an expensive colourful budget version? Whens the iPhone 6 out?
What we are pretty sure of is that the new tablet will feature a number of hardware upgrades, improved processors and even better front and back cameras.
How do we know this? Because that is what is always new on the ‘new’ devices.
What will be a welcomed improvement however is a thinner, lighter body - but that’s enough about me.
Keep your eye out for any inkling of a new device, as well as a new retina MacBook Pro which is also expected to be unveiled at the event.
In related new, Apple has cut orders of its iPhone 5C by a third. (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/apple-slashes-orders-of-iphone-5c-by-a-third/022581)
