Apple’s new iPads to reportedly launch on October 30th or 31st

The release of Apple’s next-generation iPad and iPad mini tablets is just over two weeks away, according to a new report. Apple always launches its mobile devices shortly after unveiling them and since the company’s iPad event is scheduled to take place on October 22nd, it stands to reason that the new products Apple unveils will launch the following week. A new report from French blog MacG, which has a decent track record when reporting Apple rumors, suggests that this year’s iPad launch might be a bit different than it has been in years past, but not much. According to the report, Apple’s new full-size iPad and Retina iPad mini will launch later this month on either Wednesday, October 30th or Thursday, October 31st. If true, the launches would still occur the week after the new iPads are unveiled, but almost all of Apple’s prior mobile device releases have taken place on a Friday.

iPad 6 with better-than-Retina display reportedly launching in 2014

Apple hasn’t even gotten the chance to unveil its fifth-generationiPad at next week’s press conference yet and we already have “iPad 6” rumors beginning to trickle out. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who nailed almost every last detail surroundingApple’s recently released iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c long before they were announced, says that Apple has some interesting new hardware in the works for 2014. First and foremost, the company is supposedly hard at work on its sixth-generation iPad with a brand new upgraded Retina display that packs 30% to 40% more pixels into the same 9.7-inch display size. Kuo adds that Apple may or may not be working on the much rumored 12.9-inch iPad, but it probably won’t launch next year.

Also in Kuo’s latest research note, which was picked up by several sites including 9to5Mac, the analyst says that Apple is working on a new 12-inch MacBook laptop. The notebook computer may fit into Apple’s MacBook Air family, though Kuo says it is thinner and lighter than current Air models. Rumored highlights include a 12-inch Retina display and an unspecified Intel processor. Kuo says the new high-definition MacBook will launch in the second or third quarter next year, possibly priced lower than anything in Apple’s current laptop lineup.

Finally, the analyst says Apple is also developing a new version of its iMac all-in-one desktop computer. Details are scarce, but Kuo says the new iMac will be less expensive than the current models, which apparently haven’t been selling as well as expected. The new iMac will seemingly launch in either the second or the third quarter next year and Kuo thinks it will boost 2014 iMac sales by between 10% and 20%.

Kuo also recently shared supposed details surrounding Apple’s next-generation iPhone 6, which he says will feature a new design and a bigger display measuring between 4.5 and 5 inches diagonally.
