For the past couple of years October has been a key month for Apple. It has been using October as the month to release its latest version of the iPad. After the buzz surrounding Septembers event and the launch on the new iPhone and the Apple Watch things haven’t been plane sailing for the tech giant.
The media has been awash with talk of bendy iPhones and IOS 8 has had a difficult start in life. So it’s fair to say that Apple will be looking to get positive media stories out in October.
The rumour mill is stating that Apple is planning to offer the latest iPad Air in a gold colour in addition to the familiar silver and space grey variations. This mirrors the iPhone model line up, which was introduced with last years iPhone 5s.
The belief is that Apple wanted to introduce the extra colour to help boost iPad sales which have dropped in the past year. It is also thought that the new iPad would also include features like an anti-reflective display and Touch ID Home Button.
