Apple to Discontinue the iPad 2?

According to people familiar with Apple's plans, the company has made the decision to ramp down iPad 2 production given that customers are resoundingly shifting purchases towards its more modern and capable iPads, namely the iPad mini and iPad Air.

It's an old ass ipad, maybe it's rare yet people like newer ones like me. Plus it's used in contests so people won't waste money.

Yes, apparently the retina slightly makes a difference.
