iPad 5, iPad Mini 2 Release Date 2013 Rumors, Features & Price: Halloween Debut for New Models? Gold Finish? [PICS]
Release dates and further details about the iPad 5, iPad mini, MacBook Pro and Mac Pro have been released thanks to lovable tech bloggers.
First, Martin Hajek has released renders of a gold iPad 5 in an Apple store. The gold color mimics the new gold case first introduced in Apple's recently released iPhone 5s.

According to blog AllThingsD, Apple will hold an invitation-only iPad event on Oct. 22. "People familiar with Apple's plans" told the blog that Apple will reveal the iPad 5 and iPad mini that day.
Reports from other sources believe that a gold iPad might be more than just a figment of Hajek's imagination.
"All indications are that the iPads announced on October 22 will mirror the 5s in terms of color options, A7 chip and the fingerprint sensor," Forbes reported.
The fifth-generation iPad is supposed to be thinner and lighter, while still maintaining its 9.7-inch display. Apple's tablet is also expected to be equipped with the new 64-bit A7 chip.
Meanwhile, release dates for the iPad 5, iPad mini, MacBook Pro and Mac Pro may have been revealed by MacG, a French blog.
The blog, citing annonymous sources, claims that the iPad 5 and iPad mini will be released Oct. 30 or Oct. 31.The MacBook Pro will allegedly be released Oct. 24 or Oct. 25, while the Mac Pro is suspected to be launched on Nov. 15.
On other hand, Apple has typically launched new iPad models on Fridays, except for the first iPad which was released on a Saturday. This makes MacG's supposed Wednesday or Thursday releases questionable.
Hopefully, tech bloggers will answer these questions soon. Waiting for Apple to make official statements is just too daunting for Apple enthusiasts.
