Unlike the September event, which had a ‘theme’ linking the announcements together, this October event is more like a hodge-podge of miscellany. Not that is a bad thing, but there’s nothing standout that I am avidly waiting to see announced due this month.
The new iPads seem lacklustre in terms of hardware — Touch ID, anti-reflective screen coating, A8. I’m hoping Apple will demo its split-screen multitasking implementation for iPad, although I fear they may save that for next year to show off alongside the 12.9 inch iPad.
