The Cupertino-based tech giant might not stop unveiling products until 2014 ends. A recent report by The Daily Dot revealed that Apple is planning to launch yet another product on Oct. 21, according to unnamed sources. The said event will feature two new iPads (Air 2 and Mini 3). The OS X Yosemite is also set to be announced.

Bloomberg reported Tim Cook to be working on "shaking up" the iPad line. Apparently, its sales have declined for two straight quarters. The company has not launched a new product to join the line since last year.

Although Apple is expected to launch a new breed of iPads, BGR cited Taiwanese publication The Commercial Times which reported that only the updated 9.7-inch iPad Air model is likely to come out this year. BGR added that the new Retina iPad mini model and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro might come in 2015.
