Apple refreshes the iPad line

Apple refreshed the iPad lineup overnight last night. They discontinued the popular, low-end 9.7-inch iPad Air 2 and replaced it with a new entry-level unit, now referred to as just “iPad.” The specs remain close to those of the iPad Air 2, but the processor got a needed upgrade to the 64-bit A9. The price of the new iPad dropped in comparison to its predecessor, with the 32GB Wi-Fi model starting at $329 and the 32GB Wi-Fi and Cellular model going for $459
The iPad mini 2 was dropped from the iPad family as well. The iPad mini 4 with 128GB prices at $399 is now the only option in the iPad mini line. That’s a nice bonus, as the $399 price used to be for the 32GB version (which is no longer available).
Apple also made a few other small updates. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus is now available in the (Product)RED aluminum finish, and the iPhone SE now has storage options of 32GB and 128GB, which is double the previous capacity.
MacMedics does have some iPad mini 2 32GB models in stock at reduced prices.
