Topping tech headlines on Tuesday, Apple sent out invites for an Oct. 22 press event that is largely expected to include the launch of next-gen iPads."We still have a lot to cover," reads a tagline on the image of Apple's logo, which sits below colorful floating leaves. The event, which kicks off at 10 a.m. Pacific at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater, will come one year after Apple unveiled the iPad mini and 4th-gen iPad. Cupertino will likely refresh both devices, and could reveal the updated Mac Pro and launch OS X Mavericks.
