September has been the month when Apple has announced its much-awaited iPhone 6 and the bigger iPhone 6 Plus. And now it seems that October will be the month when the company will announce the new line of its next iPad tablets. According to multiple publications, the company's next major product unveiling is expected to take place around mid-to-late October.

Here's what AppleInsider has recently said:

A person familiar with the company's pre-launch logistics says Apple has set internal project and marketing deadlines of mid-October, ahead of the planned unveiling of major new products during the second half of the month. That would align with an anticipated media event previously rumored to be held at some point during October. The same source who spoke to AppleInsider has shared reliable information on product introduction and timing in the past.

Michah Singleton from Daily Dot says that October 21 will be the exact day when the new iPads are going to be released. Here's what he said:

The company is planning to hold its next event on Oct. 21, where it will unveil two new iPads and announce the release of OS X Yosemite, the next version of its Mac operating system, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Apple plans to unveil the sixth generation of its iPad and the third edition of iPad mini during the event. OS X Yosemite, a complete visual overhaul for the Mac, is slated to be released immediately after the event.

Apple held an event on October 22 last year where it announced the iPad Air, second generation iPad mini, and released OS X Mavericks. Along with the new iPads, the next version Apple's Mac operating system is also expected to get unveiled.

"Nope" -- Jim Dalrymple

Though I'm not sure if he is referring to the date, the other details, or both. Mr. Dalrymple rarely comments on rumors, but when he does he is almost always correct.

Sure beats next year. I need a second unit and am reluctant to buy current versions at full price.
Still not sure what will be offered however.
