Apple will reportedly drop iPad 2 from lineup after iPad mini launch

Post Image

The end is near for Apple’s (AAPL) second-generation 9.7-inch iPad 2, according Evercore Partners analyst Rob Cihra. In a note to investors, Cihra said he believes Apple will streamline its product lineup and phase out the iPad 2 to make way for the iPad mini. Since the release of the new iPad, Apple has continued to sell the non-Retina display iPad 2 at a lower $399 price. Cihra notes that Apple could sell around 7 million iPad mini tablets by the end of December and 26 million total iPads during the holiday season.  Cihra’s reasoning is not too far off base, considering the fact that the iPad mini is expected to be an iPad 2 shrunken down to a 7.85-inch display

iPad 2 said to have extinguished Kindle Fire demand

Amazon’s Kindle Fire tablet exploded onto the scene late last year.

While many touted the tablet as the iPad’s biggest competitor, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook insisted that Amazon’s tablet had absolutely no impact on iPad sales. Now, in the first quarter of 2012 it looks like the tablet that was once said to be Apple’s biggest tablet threat may have seen drastically reduced demand following Apple’s move to drop its pricing on the previous-generation iPad 2 to $399. “The lower
