Reports also say that Apple will unveil a 27-inch iMac with 4K resolution display. At the same event, Apple is also expected to release the latest version of its desktop operating system, OS X Yosemite.
Meanwhile, we've made a list of top 5 trending rumors you should know about Apple's forthcoming iPad lineup.
BIG 2GB RAM
According to Taiwanese website TechNews, sources within Apple supply chain claim that iPad Air 2 will get double the RAM. This means the amount of RAM is going to doubled to 2GB from 1GB.
Gold Color
The new iPad Air 2, which is said to be introduced sometime this month, will include gold as a choice of color, apart from the existing silver and gray color options for the company's flagship tablet lineup, Bloomberg reported. But no word on whether the gold color will be coming to the iPad mini 3.
Fingerprint Scanner
According to MacRumors, Apple's TouchID scanner is expected to appear on the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3. Though most rumors have centered on the forthcoming 9.7-inch iPad Air 2 which might suggest that updates to the iPad Mini 3 may be minor.
A8 Chipset
Apple has already launched the iPhone 6 with a next generation A8 processor on board and it is very likely Apple will follow suit and install the same processor into the iPad Air 2.
Release Date
According to sources close to Bloomberg, production of a full-sized iPad with a 9.7-inch screen is already under way, with an unveiling projected for the end of this quarter or early next. A new version of the 7.9-inch iPad mini is also entering production and will probably be made available later this year.
