Apple quietly kills the old-school iPad and its headphone jack


You can still buy it from third-party retailers, though.

Apple justified the price increase with new iPad Air-like features, like a 10.9-inch screen and USB-C support. After all, the now last-gen iPad Air was often on sale for around the same price, but with a faster processor, a nicer display, and compatibility with a wider range of accessories, like the second-generation Apple Pencil. It also lacked support for the second-gen Apple Pencil, and its design was outdated, but it was still a speedy entertainment device that was frequently on sale for far less than its 10th-gen sibling.
