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.
