Earlier today, the reputable Nikkei newspaper reported the same timeframe of October, although it was unclear how much of their report was speculation. Apple is expecting to sell u to 5 million units a month, according to the paper.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has been teasing the introduction of a new product category in 2014 for a while now, famously stating last year to expect “new products across all of 2014”.
