Apple is to unveil new iPads and new Mac computers on 16th October at its California HQ. The new gadgets could go on sale on the 24 October - with new Mac software, called Yosemite, available as a free download even earlier. Last week, rumours suggested Apple was putting the finishing touches to a new version of it's iPad Air - including a gold version. Apple's invite for the event tells journalist's 'It's been way too long' - even though their last event was only last month. The small event is likely to be in stark contrast to the star-studded launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, which saw U2 playing before the firm controversially gave away the band's new album.
