“Apple has begun reducing orders for the iPad 2 ahead of the unveiling of a new third-generation iPad, but it’s not yet known whether Apple will keep the iPad 2 around at a discounted price,” Sam Oliver reports for AppleInsider.
“Sources in Apple’s supply chain told DigiTimes that orders for the iPad 2 are gradually dropping ahead of an anticipated third-generation iPad,” Oliver reports. “While iPad 2 orders are being reduced, orders for the next iPad, reportedly set to launch in March of 2012, remain steady.”
Oliver reports, “Various reports have suggested that Apple will continue to sell the iPad 2 at a discounted price after it launches a third-generation iPad.
