A new report from Taiwan's Commercial Times says that Apple is planning to launch a new iPad Air in October. The report also says the next generation iPad mini may not arrive until the first quarter of next year.

Here's a rough Google translation:

Apple will deliver a new generation of 9.7-inch iPad Air 2 in October, related to the supply chain for mass production in September, followed by monthly shipments are expected to rise. Supply chain estimate, Apple's new iPad Air 2 and older iPad mini Retina total shipment target of about 3.9 in the second half to 4.0 million units, an estimated 9 to 12 monthly shipments of 30 million units of view. The next generation of iPad mini will be next year in the first quarter production, 12.9-inch iPad Pro volume production in the second quarter next year, with the iPad wave after wave of new products debut, related to the supply chain is expected to rise in the way.

A recent report from The Daily Dot pegged October 21st as the date for an Apple event; however, The Loop's Jim Dalrymple disagrees.

The 12.9 iPad is what I'd be interested in !

I don't know. Due to a 12 inch upcoming MacBook sounds like it's a hint towards ipad with a keyboard accessorie. Both 12 inch and only one with a keyboard and he other has one built in. Just get a feeling it's a paradox. To be on topic with your comment though, what I am saying is it's a bit too big for a tablet just like big screened smartphones.

So true they can do without the iPad mini now that they got the iPhone 6L and I wonder what will be different on the Air2 beside the fingerprint sensor, hopefully GB256.
