Apple will hold its iPad media event on Tuesday, October 22 according to a few reliable sources, AllThingsD and The Loop. Before Apple sends out official press invitations to its media event however, we do know that it is highly anticipated that Apple will release a redesigned iPad 5 with a slimmer, narrow-bezel and aluminum iPad mini-like design (seen in the leaked parts above) - along with Touch ID implementation, improved cameras and specs, a Retina iPad mini and new Space Gray color options which will replace the black slate-colored iPads.
