Apple’s next, probably-iPad-focused event happens October 22

“Sources familiar with the matter” are telling AllThingsD that Apple’s next product announcement will be taking place on October 22 and that the event will likely focus on new iPads, the Mac Pro, and OS X 10.9 Mavericks. AllThingsD has a strong track record when it comes to Apple news (the publication correctly predicted the company’s September 10 iPhone event), and the date would make sense given the iPad-focused announcements Apple made in October of 2012. If Apple’s scheduling is the same as it normally is, look for official invitations to go out at some point next Tuesday.
