Apple's iPad event reportedly slated for October 16th

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.

iMac with Retina display reportedly in 'late' testing at Apple, may launch soon

Apple's OS X Yosemite was clearly designed with high-resolution Retina displays in mind. Everywhere you look, Apple's upcoming operating system is cleaner, brighter, sharper, and just nicer to look at. But right now, only Apple's laptops would be able to showcase that software to its full potential. Thankfully it sounds like that's about to change. 9to5Mac reports that a new iMac with Retina display is in "late" testing in Cupertino, and Apple may be nearly ready to show its latest desktop to the world. The iMac would reportedly feature an incredibly sharp "5K" display, though its exact resolution isn't clear. As 9to5Mac points out, OS X Yosemite contains references to screens with resolutions of 6400 x 3600, 5760 x 3240, and 4096 x 2304, so one of those could be the winner.

Pixel density aside, the new iMac is rumored to feature an overall design that's similar to the current model. Apple's Retina display made its way to the MacBook Pro in 2012 after debuting on iPhone and iPad, but has yet to move beyond portables. Many expect OS X Yosemite to launch sometime in October; its release will likely coincide with a media event where the company may also reveal new iPads and iPods. Pricing for the new, high-res iMac is anyone's guess; it'll obviously cost more, and if history is anything to go by, expect the non-Retina models to remain available for the foreseeable future. And there's no reason they shouldn't; even without fancier screens, the current iMacs still represent a fantastic all-in-one package.

Twitter will reportedly roll out 'buy' button later this year

James Martin/CNET

Twitter is going to incorporate a way for users to easily buy things directly from its network later this year, according to a report Friday from Recode.

The social network is partnering with Stripe, a payments services company, to integrate a "buy" button into tweets, unnamed sources told Recode.

It is expected that the button will let users enter in payment and shipping information without leaving Twitter, allowing businesses to sell their products directly from tweets with Stripe powering the transaction.

Twitter and Stripe did not respond to requests for comment.

The direct move into e-commerce would solidify earlier reports of a "buy" button. The button was spotted in a tweet from social e-commerce site Fancy's Twitter account in June. It's not surprising Twitter wants to get into e-commerce. Acting as a marketplace can give the company a solid revenue stream if it can leverage the attention of its loyal users.

YouTube's rumored music service reportedly gets a name

YouTube

It's been a long time coming for YouTube's rumored subscription music service, but word has it that the final details are being hammered out, according to Android Police.

This new on-demand streaming music service will reportedly be called YouTube Music Key. It's said to have ad-free music with audio-only and offline playback, according to Android Police. The service will reportedly cost $9.99 per month and users will be able to test it out with a free 30-day trail.

Related stories YouTube's subscription music service said to launch this year YouTube set for 'Music Pass' subscription, app code reveals YouTube's music service said to be delayed until next year YouTube music chief leaving for undisclosed startup Google buys Songza, a Pandora-like player where context is king

It was revealed last summer that Google was planning to launch a subscription music service for YouTube. The service is said to work like Spotify but also come with videos. It's supposedly taken Google awhile to get the service off the ground because the company had to make deals with music labels for the rights to play their songs.

YouTube, which has more than 1 billion unique monthly users, is already the largest music service in existence, and for now it only makes money via ads. Throw in a subscription offering and it could be a game changer for music streaming.

While YouTube Music Key is said to be on the horizon, Google is also reportedly rebranding Google Play Music All Access as Google Play Music Key. The $9.99 per month price for YouTube Music Key is said to include Google Play Music Key.

CNET contacted YouTube for comment. We'll update the story when we have more information.

Apple reportedly talks with health care providers about HealthKit

HealthKit's unveiling in June. Tim Stevens/CNET

Apple has reportedly been in discussions with a wide range of health care providers regarding HealthKit, the iPhone maker's software that will let consumers track health-related data.

The Cupertino, Calif.-based tech giant has discussed the new platform with Mount Sinai, the Cleveland Clinic, and Johns Hopkins, as well as medical records providers Allscripts and Epic Systems, Reuters reported Monday. While Reuters noted that the talks may not lead to anything substantive, the discussions further underscore Apple's health-related ambitions.

Unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco in June, HealthKit is meant to be a hub for tracking users' health data. As part of Apple's iOS 8, HealthKit includes a corresponding app named Health that can be used with third-party fitness devices.

RELATED LINKS Google takes aim at Apple's HealthKit with new fitness service Apple exercises a new HealthKit muscle

Apple said at HealthKit's unveiling that many medical institutions had already signed on as partners, including the Mayo Clinic, which has an integration with HealthKit that goes to work when patients do things like checking their blood pressure rating. The software will automatically check to see if the rating is within the set parameters, and notify the hospital if it is not so doctors can check in with their patients more quickly.

Health has become a big focus area for companies across the tech sector. Several have introduced health-centric gadgets, such as the Samsung Gear Fit and Jawbone Up24, and countless others are working on smart glucose meters and similar products. Other companies see an opportunity to mine patient data or collect readings on individuals to predict when they'll get sick and tailor treatment.

Apple arch-rival Samsung, for one, has made a big push in health with its mobile devices. Its Galaxy S5 smartphone and Gear Fit incorporate heart-rate monitors and health-focused apps, and it has also unveiled efforts to develop new sensors and a cloud-based platform for collecting health data.

CNET has contacted Apple for comment and will update this report when we learn more.

Samsung has reportedly begun testing three-sided display phone

The flexible Youm display that you could likely see this year. Samsung

If you thought the Samsung Galaxy Round was peculiar, get ready for another whole level of quirk. According to a Korean supplier of Samsung parts, the company has begun testing three-sided displays for potential application on mobile devices.

The technology has been rumored for quite some time, but it finally seems to have gained some steam, with sources claiming that such a device could go into production by the end of this year.

A three-sided display phone just might be what Kim Hyeon Jun, executive manager at Samsung's Wireless Business Division, had been foreshadowing during Samsung's second-quarter earnings conference call.

"While I cannot mention specifics, we are planning on unveiling an innovative large-screen flagship model, an attractive phone that takes advantage of cutting-edge materials," he said.

Large-scale production, however, may be further down the line. The three-sided screen will utilize a plastic substrate that is reportedly limited in quantity and difficult to work with. If released by the end of this year, it will most likely be limited to Korean audiences.

Apple reportedly paying internet providers to ensure speedy delivery of its data

type="html">

Apple has apparently turned on its new content-delivery network, and is reportedly paying Comcast and other big ISPs to move hardware into their data center and build direct interconnects to their networks. This is the exact same evolution that Netflix has been going through, building out its own CDN and agreeing to pay ISPs for interconnection. The major difference is that Netflix has loudly opposed the fact that ISPs can charge a fee for this arrangement, while Apple has stayed mum on the issue.
