iPad 2 Price

Even fewer Apple fans are going to spare a thought for the humble old iPad 2 now that the iPad 4 has hit the shops. But this is the same sparkling, all-conquering tablet we loved just a few months ago, and it’s had £70 slashed off its price.

A quick go on the iPad 2 and you’ll understand just why it proved so popular. Instantly switching on, it enables you to access the internet and all your favourite apps with the kind of finger interaction that made the iPhone popular. The large screen also makes it ideal for reading books, watching video, and playing games.

The display here looks sharp, bright and clear – right up until the second you read some text on the iPad 4’s Retina display. The difference in non-text environments is less marked, but is likely to increase as developers take advantage of the extra detail.

The price is £70 below the equivalent iPad 4, but all but the lowest storage versions (of both Wi-Fi and 3G models) have been discontinued: it’s 16GB or nothing. This is likely to fi ll up quickly if you watch films and play lots of games.

Wi-Fi: £329 (16GB) Wi-Fi + 3G: £429 (16GB)
