What to expect from Apple’s next reveal

Apple’s product announcements ain’t over until someone other than Bono sings. The company plans to hold a “special event” Thursday, Oct. 16, in California, according to a report by Re/code’s John Paczkowski, who correctly predicted the timing of Apple’s Sept. 9 event, and who is thought to have terrific sources within Apple. The announcement is rumored to concentrate on a new line of improved iPads. Blogs have been whispering that, like the latest iPhone, the new iPad could ship with a bigger screen and also come equipped with fingerprint scanning Touch ID sensors. There may also be a gold option for the new iPad.
