RIP: Apple Just Killed the iPad 2

Normally, Apple uses its glitzy new product introductions to quietly retire old models. When the company launched the iPad Air, for example, it nixed the fourth-generation iPad while keeping the iPad 2 around as the entry-level tablet. Now Apple has killed the iPad 2, replacing it with the Retina-and-Lightning model. The model is back on the Apple Store for the same price as the Retina iPad Mini.
