We’re only about one month removed from Apple’s iPhone 6 announcement, which was arguably one of the company’s largest and most important product releases ever.

Nevertheless, it’s apparently already Apple time again.

Reports indicate that Tim Cook and company will hit the stage Oct. 16 to show off Apple’s new crop of iPads. The timeline matches pretty closely to last year’s September and October events, at which Apple introduced the iPhone 5s and iPad Air, respectively.

So what can you expect? Here we round up the latest, most credible rumors surrounding Apple’s next tablets, as well as a few other goodies the company could announce.
