Title: The original iPad mini is gone, but this non-Retina model was past its prime anyway Post by: HCK on June 22, 2015, 03:00:12 am The original iPad mini is gone, but this non-Retina model was past its prime anyway
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Apple’s original iPad mini is no longer an option if you’re looking to grab a new tablet on the cheap.</p><p> As pointed out by Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/06/apple-stops-selling-original-249-ipad-mini-the-last-non-retina-idevice/), Apple has removed the 7.9-inch iPad mini, which had been selling for $249, from the Apple Store. The least expensive option for a new Apple tablet is now the iPad mini 2, which starts at $299.</p><p> Granted, at more than two and a half years old, the original iPad mini (http://www.macworld.com/article/2013515/review-ipad-mini-gives-you-most-of-an-ipad-at-half-the-size.html) is hardly worth recommending at this point anyway. Before its discontinuation, it was the only iPad without a Retina display, and its dual-core A5 chip originally appeared in 2011’s iPad 2. (Apple stopped selling the iPad 2 over a year ago.)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2937230/the-original-ipad-mini-is-gone-but-this-non-retina-model-was-past-its-prime-anyway.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: The original iPad mini is gone, but this non-Retina model was past its prime anyway (http://www.macworld.com/article/2937230/the-original-ipad-mini-is-gone-but-this-non-retina-model-was-past-its-prime-anyway.html#tk.rss_all) |
