According to a report from Apple Insider, there are internal marketing deadlines that are set for mid-October.
That would lead to a big event later in the month which fits the time frame for previously Apple releases and launches.
The new iPads are expected to include Touch iD, along with some impressive new system features that were previously announced for the iPhone 6.

"Of course, Apple has used the latter month of October to introduce new products in years past, including the unveiling of the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display last year. Both of those products were introduced at a media event on Oct. 22, 2013, before they went on sale to consumers in early November.This year, Apple is widely expected to unveil its latest iPads at an October media event, with both the next-generation iPad Air and iPad mini rumored to feature the company’s secure Touch ID fingerprint sensor. It’s also likely that the new models will boast the same A8 processor found in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus."
Also expected in October is an announcement on some new MacBooks along with a release date for OS X Yosemite.
