Apple Removes Original iPad Mini From Apple Online Store

Apple has quietly pulled the original iPad mini from the Apple Online Store (https://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/) this week and removed other references of the tablet from its website, as noted by 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2015/06/19/apple-quietly-pulls-ipad-mini-from-web-site-and-apple-store/). The nearly three-year-old iPad mini was announced in October 2012 as a smaller 7.9-inch version of the iPad, but the tablet has since been succeeded by the iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 3, the latter featuring a Retina display, Touch ID and 64-bit A7 processor.

 Apple dropped the price of the first-gen A5-based iPad mini to $299 in October 2013 and further discounted the tablet to $249 in October 2014, but the device was a hard sell given the iPad mini 2 starts at $299 with newer features. The original iPad mini remains available in the refurbished section (http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipad/ipad_mini) of the Apple Online Store for between $209 and $409 depending on the specific model and storage capacity.
 
 The original iPad mini remains available in limited quantities through authorized third-party resellers such as Amazon, although likely only until leftover stock is depleted. Apple's remaining tablet lineup for sale includes the iPad Air 2, iPad Air, iPad mini 3 and iPad mini 2, and the company is widely rumored to introduce a larger 12.9-inch "iPad Pro (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/)" targeted at professional users later this year.
