Apple has upgraded its
cheapest iPad to a fourth-generation model from the iPad 2, which is not
going to be sold with Apple anymore . And it is selling iPad with Retina display for the same price.
IPad with Retina display
is the fourth-generation iPad, identical to those released late in
2012, and one generation "behind" the higher-end iPad Air released in
2013. It runs on an A6X chip, rather than the faster A7 of current
generation iPads.
The iPad 2, which Apple will no longer sell, was released in 2011.
The iPad with Retina
display comes with 16 GB of storage and with Wi-Fi only model will cost
$399 — the same price as the second-generation model it replaces. The
Wi-Fi and cellular-compatible version is $529.
The iPad featured with
Retina display has a sharper screen, faster chip, and a better camera
that shoots in full 1080p HD video, rather than the 720p on the iPad 2,
"offering a dramatic upgrade in power performance and value compared to
the iPad 2 it replaces," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior
vice-president of worldwide marketing, in a statement.
Apple's current
generation iPad models, the iPad Air and the iPad mini with Retina
display, were released last October. At that time, the company did not
drop the price of the iPad 2. The iPad air and the iPad mini with Retina display start at $519 and $419 respectively for the 16GB, Wi-Fi only models.
