Apple has sent invites to an Oct. 16 event during which it’s expected to show off new iPad models and an update to its Mac OS system.<\/p>\n

The company may also use the event to launch its new digital payment service, Apple Pay. The new iPhones released last month came with a wireless chip capable of making such payments.<\/p>\n

In keeping with its usual practice, the company isn’t saying what it plans to announce. Instead, it sent a cryptic invitation to reporters and analysts. This one has the headline: “It’s been way too long.”<\/p>\n

Apple used its October event last year to announce a thinner full-size tablet, the iPad Air, and the “Mavericks” update to Mac OS. The “Yosemite” Mac update is due out soon.<\/p>\n

Next week’s event will be held at the iconic tech company’s headquarters in Cupertino, California.<\/p>\n
