Apple expected to unveil new iPads and iMacs at launch event

Technology giant Apple is expected to introduce two new updated iPads today. It was only a month ago that Apple chief executive Tim Cook took to the stage to show the world two new iPhones. A refresh of the iPad Air and iPad mini is expected that will see Touch ID, Apple’s fingerprint recognition software added to the devices, as well as more curves and thinner frames to bring them closer to the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Apple may also announce a new Mac operating system and possibly new Mac computers.

Invites to the event carried a cryptic message

As usual, Apple isn’t disclosing what it plans to reveal at its headquarters in Cupertino, California, this afternoon. Invites to its event carried the cryptic message, “It’s been way too long.” The Mac update will be called Yosemite and will include aesthetic changes as well as new functionality, such as the ability to make phone calls with an iPhone nearby and a one-stop search tool for both locally stored documents and online resources. Apple may also use the event to announce new Mac computers. The company released new laptops last October, and there’s speculation new iMac desktops are in store.
