Soon yes, but not necessarily on Tuesday. It hasn't quite been a year though. The last iPad and the mini were both released in October.It's been a year since the lasp iPad. A new one's coming soon.
As much as I want to say they will finally cut the BS and move to 32 base, I am not holding my breath
I just hope the 5C doesn't start at 8 GB. I suspect it won't (since the 4S started at 16 GB), but who knows.
However, if the 5C starts at 16 GB, it'd be nice to see the 5S at base 32 GB. (Yeah, we can dream.)
I'd say this will be phone only.
When have they staged an entire event just for one product? That doesn't make sense.

Now I do.Eug, do you think that's going to be in the 5S then?
Neither did I, since I don't really have a huge need for it in my phone... in NFC's current form that is. I already pay using NFC in my credit cards - both Visa and Mastercard. I don't know how widespread it is in Canada, but it's all over the place here in Canada, esp. on things like gas pumps and in grocery stores and coffee shops, and even larger retail stores too, although the store may limit the purchases via NFC to $50 or $100.I didn't think Apple was going to go the way of NFC, but that's certainly a neat way of hiding it.

The other benefit of NFC in credit cards is that all you have to do pull out the appropriate card you want to use at that store and tap it. Most of us have more than one credit card. In fact, I have 5 credit cards, three of which with NFC. The two that don't are an old Amex and a US dollar card.
Apple would have to implement some sort of new and very easy-to-use system to get me to use NFC in my phone.

you guys think they'll update ipods?
Dunno, but they added a new iPod touch model in 2013 already. Mind you that was just a silent update. The major iPod touch update was last October.you guys think they'll update ipods?
iPad makes sense since it's an iDevice, although I too think it will be delayed until later. The Mac Pro doesn't really fit though. It would get either no event - front page at Apple.com - or else a separate event. Maybe with the MacBook Pro?If the other products are ready yet they don't have a whole lot of choice. From the leaks so far it doesn't look like they are far enough along yet. Certainly if the iPads or MacPro are ready they will be included but I doubt they are.

I still think there will be a three tier phone offering, not counting bigger sizes, so 5C, 5, and 5S.The problem I pointed out with the 5C and 5S having a different base storage size is how the pricing would work. If the 5C was 16GB at $99 base while the 5S was 32GB and $199 base, then a 32GB 5C would be $199 and pointless. I'm wondering how they will slot these models together.

They might not offer a 32GB option for the 5C.
Edit: Eug got there just before I.
