It's October, which means it's time for new iPads. And Apple's planning to hold an event for just that on October 16th, says Recode, which has a very good track record with these dates. That's just a few days earlier than when Apple held an event last year where it debuted the iPad Air, the iPad Mini with Retina display, and launched its revamped Mac Pro. Expected at this one is an updated version of the iPad Air, a final version of OS X Yosemite, which Apple is in the middle of finishing up, and quite possibly iMacs with Retina displays — something Apple's had trouble keeping a secret.

Just in time for the holidays

A separate report last month suggested Apple planned to hold an event on October 21st, something a source told us was not accurate. Before 2012, new iPads were typically released in the spring. Apple's change to the fall meant that the tablet was ready just in time for the busy holiday shopping season, and just after a major new release of iOS with whatever new iPhone had come out.

Apple's last event was in early September where the company debuted the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, along with a sneak peek of the Apple Watch. That was held at the Flint Center just a few minutes away from its headquarters in Cupertino, where Recode says Apple plans to hold this "more laid-back affair" on the 16th. Apple rented out a much larger venue in San Jose two years ago when first unveiling the first iPad mini and revamped iMac, though kept it low key with an event in downtown San Francisco last year.

Tech Retrospect: Apple event preview and smartwatch overload

Apple typically gives us just seven days warning of an upcoming event, leaving us scrambling to book flights, hotels, and to brush up on our live-blogging skills. This time, what with the holiday weekend coming up in the US, the fine folks in Cupertino gave us a bit of a break. The September 9 event we'd been expecting has been confirmed -- though the company is even more coy than usual about the content. The invite says only "Wish we could say more."

No worries, we have a pretty good idea of what's to come. A 4.7-inch iPhone 6 is all but a lock, and a larger version (perhaps 5.5-inches) seems quite likely as well. Earlier, we were all but sure near-field communication, or NFC, would not be present in the phone, but now the tides have turned, with expectations not only for NFC in both phones, but a new payment system to boot. Could that wallet in your back pocket or purse finally be approaching obsolescence?

Apple on Thursday sent out invites for a press event on Sept. 9 in its hometown of Cupertino, Calif.

The company provided few hints about what will be announced beyond saying "Wish we could say more." That could indicate something related to Siri, Apple's digital voice assistant. Generally, Apple is expected to introduce its newest iPhone, dubbed the iPhone 6. The company also could show off a wearable at the event.

The event will come a year after Apple introduced the iPhone 5S and 5C and a week after arch rival Samsung is set to unveil its Galaxy Note 4 phone-tablet hybrid, or phablet. Apple has added a new iPhone every year since former CEO Steve Jobs introduced the smartphone line in 2007, and new iPhones have been unveiled in the fall since 2011.

Many market watchers expect Apple to introduce two new iPhone 6 models with display sizes of 4.7 and 5.5 inches, though some recent reports speculate one device could be released at a later date. Analysts expect the iPhone 6 to be one of the largest product launches in Apple's history -- both in terms of device screen size and total sales. The company reportedly has asked manufacturing partners to produce about 30 percent to 40 percent more iPhones by the end of this year than it ordered for its initial run of last year's iPhone 5S and 5C.

For Apple, having a successful iPhone 6 launch is vital. Apple hosts only one phone event a year, and it generates more than half its revenue from its smartphone line. The iPhone serves as the linchpin to Apple's overall growth, particularly as the market awaits the widely speculated iWatch and as the iPad struggles against lower-cost rivals and larger phones.
