Apple re-introduces fourth-generation iPad in 16 GB model starting at $399, discontinues iPad 2

 

Earlier today,  we predicted that Apple had plans to bring the previous-generation iPad 4th gen back into production to replace the aging iPad 2. As expected, the fourth-gen iPad is now available once again on Apple?s website, this time with only an 16 GB capacity.

 

Aside from the single capacity choice, there aren?t any changes to the device. This new model replaces the iPad 2, which has been around since the days of the 30-pin connector. The newer version includes Apple?s custom dual-core A6X processor, a 5 MP iSight camera, and 1.2 MP FaceTime camera.

 

The iPad 4 is available at $399 for the Wi-Fi model, putting it at the same price as the previous iPad 2. The cellular model costs $599. Both are available on Apple?s website and in retail stores.
