Apple AAPL +2.34% has just issued invitations for an event next week on Oct. 23.
The tagline for the event is, “We’ve got a little more to show you.”
Given that the event is widely expected to be an unveiling of a smaller iPad, the word “little” is probably not used lightly. Apple could, of course, unveil other products during the event as well.
It’s also worth noting that Microsoft unveiled the price of its Surface tablet today, which is priced similarly to the iPad, only to have Apple issue the invitations for its next event several hours later.
AllThingsD, a sister website to The Wall Street Journal, first reported that Apple was planning an event to unveil the smaller iPad.
Apple‘s Asian component suppliers have already started mass production of a new tablet smaller than the current iPad — the so-called iPad Mini — that’s destined to compete with Google‘s and Amazon’s new tablets, according to an earlier report in the Journal.
The event will be held in San Jose at the California Theater — a bit of an usual choice for Apple given that it has recently typically held events in San Francisco or at the company’s campus in Cupertino, Calif.
The event will be held at 1 p.m. ET.
