By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

As per invitations arriving to some media outlets, Apple is planning another event next Thursday, October 22 in San Francisco.

The colourful invitation states "We still have a lot to cover." Looking at the October event from last year, we saw new iPad minis, new 4th Generation iPad with Retina Displays, new Mac Minis and new iMacs. This year's event is expected to be an iPad focused event but there's a lot more to expect from Apple including OS X Mavericks and the new Mac Pro. Some rumours are pinning down updated MacBoo Pros with Retina Display (likely sporting the new 4th Generation Intel Core processors from the Haswell line).

Canadian Reviewer will be covering the event live in San Francisco next week, so stay tuned for exclusive reports, video and images from the Apple event.
