Apple has discontinued the iPad mini 2 following the unveiling of a new 9.7-inch iPad for $329.

Despite lowering the price of the 128GB iPad mini 4 to $399, the larger 9.7-inch iPad is now the cheapest tablet you can buy from Apple.

The company has also announced a RED iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, new Apple Watch bands, an iPhone SE with more storage, a new Clips app, and more languages for Swift Playground.

I bought two of them in the past. After this bonehead (pun) decision, I am finished with Apple.
