It’s thought Apple chief exec Tim Cook will present new, next-generation versions of the iPad Air and iPad Mini that will come complete with Touch ID, Apple’s fingerprint recognition feature. They’re likely to feature some design changes too.

‘Way too long’

Apple’s invite for tonight’s event (about 6pm UK time) features the tag line ‘It’s been way too long’ – which could suggest the company is planning to update some of its older products, in particular its flagship desktop computer, the iMac, which has not been updated for some time.

New products?

There are whispers about a whole brand-new product, the iPad Pro, rumoured to be a bigger, meatier version of the tablet. 

The rumours are the Pro, a sort of hybrid device, will have a 12-inch screen and could be powered by desktop OS X (unlike the i Pad which runs iOS). 
  
Whatever happens, we’ll update you tomorrow with all the lowdown from Cupertino…
