We know that Apple is going to unveil its newest tablets on Thursday but that doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily be able to buy them right away. MacRumors‘ trusted sources say that Apple is planning to release at least one of its new devices on October 24th, less than a week after its official unveiling.

With Apple’s October media event coming up later this week, the company has reportedly already begun shipping mass quantities of new product into the U.S. and appears to be setting up for a Friday, October 24 availability date, according to a source that has provided accurate information to MacRumors in the past. The specific product being shipped was not identified by the source, but it likely is Apple’s rumored upcoming iPad, though it is not clear which model — the iPad Air 2, the Retina iPad mini 2, or both — is being transported.
