Apple has formally announced a media event for next Tuesday, October 23, and it may very well be about the iPad mini. The invitation, sent to select members of the media, shows a vague image of an Apple logo and reads, "We've got a little more to show you."
It has long been rumored that Apple would introduce a 7.85-inch version of the iPad this year before the holiday season, even though the company's release cycle for the iPad typically happens in the springtime. Unsurprisingly, Apple has not commented publicly on the iPad mini, but the rumor mill has pointed to it not having a "retina" class display like the current version of the (full sized) iPad. There are also rumors that Apple may introduce updated Macs during the event.
This is not the first time Apple has held a media event in October, only a month after holding its annual fall music (and now iPhone) event in September. The company has held a second fall event several times in the past, though the last one was in 2008 when the company introduced new notebooks.
