With Apple’s October 23rd media event having just concluded, the excitement amongst the numerous Apple communities couldn’t be higher.
The event was held in San Jose, California at the California Theatre and commenced promptly at 10:00 am Pacific time (1:00 PM Eastern).
While a countless number of rumors have shrouded this event, the general consensus among various news outlets is that Apple will not only unveil the highly-anticipated iPad Mini, but will also reveal a new 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro and announce upgrades to both their iMac and Mac mini lineups – all of which were covered.
