The iPad 2 is almost three years old, though it did become one of the most popular tablets that Apple has ever released. It was a major change over its predecessor, the original iPad, which came out back in 2010. iPad 2 brought a whole new design that wasn’t just thinner and lighter, but also packed a mean punch under the hood. However since then it has been succeeded by multiple models that tout ever faster internals as well as Retina Displays. Customers are leaning more towards them, which means that demand for the iPad 2 continues to diminish. This is believed to be the primary reason why Apple is slowly ramping down iPad 2 production, before finally discontinuing it.

The iPad 2 is Apple’s second-generation iPad and is currently two generations behind the latest iPad, although in less than a day it will be three generations behind. However it seems that despite the tablet being old, slower, and featuring a less-sharp display compared to the iPad 3 and 4, it remains the most popular iPad around. This is according to a recent study conducted by Localytics who has found that the iPad 2 is still Apple’s most widely used tablet and has more active users than the iPad 3 and iPad 4 combined! Their study finds that the iPad 2 accounts for 38% of all active iOS tablets, with the iPad 3 only commanding 19%, while the fourth-gen iPad comes in at 18%.

So why is the iPad 2 still so popular despite it not being as “good” as the third or fourth-gen iPad? According to Localytics, “this could be an indication that the innovation in tablets is slowing down and the perceived differentiation of the latest-generation tablets is getting smaller with each new release.” It could also be possible that cost plays a factor as well, with the iPad 2 being cheaper than its successors, so for those who aren’t too fussy over hardware and display resolution, the cheaper iPad 2 would be a logical choice. What do you guys think?
