We’re less than 24 hours away from Apple’s October 16 special event, where the company is expected to announce new iPads, a higher resolution iMac and the availability of OS X Yosemite.
Here’s what we predict Apple will unveil today at its event based on recent rumours and some guesses…
Expect the public release to be made available at the end of the special event, like Mavericks last year. And expect delays and busy servers.

12.9-inch ‘iPad Pro’
Not expecting this to be announced; Bloombergsays “to be introduced next year” according to sources.

Last saw a refresh dating back to 2012, so something new is surely around the corner. Will we see it today? Unknown. But if we don’t see anything new, the current model will have to compete with Google’s new $99 Nexus player.
Since Apple is hosting the special event at their Cupertino campus versus a massive venue like the Flint Center, nobody is expecting anything ‘game changing’ like Apple Watch or iPhone 6 to be announced.
