Apple might unveil new iPads, new OS X on Oct. 21

As noted, Apple hasn't commented on this report.

"(Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O) is set to launch two new iPads and release the next version of its Mac operating system at its next event on Oct. 21, a Daily Dot report said, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The company plans to unveil the sixth generation of its iPad and the third edition of the iPad mini, as well as its operating system OS X Yosemite, which has undergone a complete visual overhaul, the Internet news website said.

Trudy Muller, a spokeswoman for Apple, declined to comment.

The iPad is expected to have a 9.7 inch screen, while the new version of the iPad mini will have a 7.9 inch screen, Bloomberg earlier reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

"Hot off the heels of Apple's big iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and Apple Watch launch event, The Daily Dot is reporting that the company will host its next product launch on October 21st of this year, however a source tells us that specific date may not be accurate. At this event, The Daily Dot says that Apple is expected to reveal new iPads and make OS X 10.10 Yosemite officially available. Yosemite has been in beta since it was first announced back in June.

An October event isn't without precedent for Apple: around the same time last year it announced the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina Display. The company has used the fall quarter as its big product launch time for a couple of years, and though it just dumped two big new iPhones, it looks like it's not yet done for this year."
