After nearly three years on the market, the non-Retina iPad 2 will be discontinued. This is according to a report by AppleInsider, which states Apple will ramp down legacy iPad 2 production and take the model off the market "in the near future". The news comes as no surprise, as similarly priced iPad mini units with Retina displays are outselling the older design.
For those looking to pick up a Wi-Fi only iPad 2 before they disappear from shelves, the device can be had for only $299 at Walmart, a discount of $100 off Apple retail pricing. The iPad 2 features the dual-core A5 processor, front-facing FaceTime camera, 1024 x 768 display resolution (132 pixels per inch) and a 30-pin dock connector.
