iPad With Retina Display Makes $399 Comeback

Apple's finally discontinued its ancient iPad 2, replacing it with last year's fourth-gen retina iPad.

Apple's tweaked its iPad lineup this morning, bringing back the fourth-generation iPad with Retina display in place of the elderly iPad 2.

Available with only 16GB of storage, Apple's US website lists the comeback tablet with either Wi-Fi only for $399, or Wi-Fi and cellular for $529.

Apple CEO Tim Cook canned the retina iPad last year when he launched the super-skinny iPad Air. The high-end iPad still starts at $499, while the retina iPad mini is still $399.

It makes your buying decision fairly straightforward: $300 for the older, smaller iPad Mini; $400 for the nicer retina Mini or the older retina iPad; or $500 for the whiz-bang iPad Air.

Then add $100 to double the storage, and $130 to add cellular data.
