Apple is preparing for a big event, which will be held on Thursday the 14th of October. Expected reason of this meeting will be presentation of new tablets iPad Mini 3 and iPad Air 2 with Retina display we reviewed earlier and was awaited for a soonest release.
We know, someone always speculating on the release date, but we have no doubt that the anticipated crowd will finally get what they are up to get when standing in a line in front of an Apple store after the rumors confirmed.
If the developers will finally declare about the release date at the event on 16th of October, then the first pre-orders will start on the 17th. The main idea is to be in the upper part of the list to get the tablet faster than the others. Anyway a week is a period you will have to deal with awaiting your pre-ordered device, as it was with every Apple’s device before. And if you want to be the first to buy the device in stores, don’t expect that everybody will be waiting for you on Friday the 24th of October and letting you pass through the enormous crowd of fans willing to buy a new tablet.
Speaking about two devices at a time, it is expected for them to save their usual design concept associated with the each tablet series, but their inner contents will be revised thoroughly. Just like iPhone 6 tablets will be granted with a built in new fingerprint sensor, second generation 64-bit processor Apple A8. Both devices will also come with Apple Pay, which will be launched upon release of iOS 8.1.
Besides all above mentioned we also expect to see a number of other new Apple's devices such as Mac Mini, iMac’s, and a new Apple TV, which will have to fight with a PlayStation TV from Sony.

Actually it can be called a blow below the belt because it is not a classic virtual reality helmet in a common sense. This is a simple trick that can be considered as genius.
Practically it seems to be a classic VR but in fact it is a bandage with a phone that works exclusively together with the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smartphone. Gear VR is just an assembly of a separate parts to be paired together. To use the handset as a basis is truly a genius decision, isn't it? Especially if the screen resolution of the device allows you to use it at its full potential.
Speaking about the screen of Galaxy Note 4, it provides a better resolution than Oculus Rift Dev Kit 2 in its present version. Oculus certainly holds a number of benefits, such as elimination of motion blur and pesky nausea problems. Note 4 having a large number of pixels can not effectively do it. Maybe it was the key to a successful deal between Samsung with Oculus. But to having the phone separated from headset is also worth something.
Gear VR also has a volume rocker, a small touchpad, and a back button. But Oculus Rift provides powerful graphics card for the same money amount. Therefore we can conclude that Samsung Gear VR will be great for videos and Oculus Rift for games. The price of helm only is $199, together with phablet which will cost less than $800 or $290 on-contract in U.S. it will cost $1000 lump sum.
