Expectation No.1

The Cupertino-based giant is looking to announce the successor to iPad 4 for quite some time. Finally, the rumored announcement date i.e. October 22 seems believable to some extent. Industry Analyst are predicting that the next generation iPad 5 to be a lot thinner than its predecessor. Interestingly, the iPad 5 is said to have improved 8-mega pixel rear facing camera with LED Flash light , just like the iPhone 5S.

Apple is said to be priced at par with current generation iPad 4. The iPad 5 would have a 9.7-inch Retina Display, 16GB/32GB/64GB/128GB of ROM, iOS 7, A7 chipset ( 64bit), 8MP camera with LED Flash light, Silver/ Gold/ Grey ( rumored available colors), 4G LTE , among others.

Expectation No. 2

The Apple Mini made a decent impact on users worldwide. The biggest drawback with first generation is that the display is underpowered in comparison to competitors. After the launch of Asus Nexus 7 2, Apple has no choice except to announce the iPad Mini 2 with Retina Display.

The design will likely to be unchanged. Moreover, it is suspected that Apple would not be able to deliver iPad Mini 2 enough during crucial holiday season due to production issues. It is known whether Apple would be making any announcement around the iPad Mini 2. The device is expected to get similar internal hardware as the iPad 5. The 7.9-inch Retina Display tablet will be powered by iOS 7.

Expectation No.3

Apple has unveiled updated MacBook Pro earlier this year at WWDC 2013 conference. The design of the updated MacBook Pro is stunning. The new Mac Pros is said to be the bestsellers this holiday season.

Expectation No.4

The new processor made for Mac is expected any time soon. The anticipated update will include some changes to memory management. The processor handling would enhance the battery life, a good thing for heavy users. Apple has issued final release of Mavericks OS X last week to developers.

Expectation No. 5

We have already seen the iPhone 5S with TouchID fingerprint sensor. Yes, the technology is really cool but its implementation in real world need to be studied closely. The street is abuzz with rumors that both the iPad 5 and the iPad Mini 2 would be getting TouchID fingerprint sensor.
