Apple Oct. 16 event: iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 3, iMac with Retina display. Ho-hum, no surprises

In a more low-key event than the mega-launch that was the iPhone 6 announcement last September, Apple revealed on Oct. 16 that they will add a 27-inch iMac with Retina display that runs OS X Yosemite, plus two new iPads, to their product line.

Not very ground-shaking news, but still a strong offering to follow up the successful release of the new iPhones.
