It wasn't too long when rumors suggested that Apple could be sending out invites on the 10th of October for an event that would supposedly launch the new iPad mini. Given that it's already the 12th, it's safe to say that those rumors did not pan out. Now it seems that a recent set of rumors has suggested that Apple's event will be held on the 23rd of October instead, which coincidentally (or perhaps not) is only a few days before Microsoft's Surface Windows 8 tablet goes on sale, so maybe Apple wants to steal a little thunder from Microsoft's new hardware.
