In addition to adding the iPhone 6 Plus to its list of retro and outdated products, Apple today updated its list to officially consider the fourth-generation iPad released in 2012 as outdated. The fourth-generation iPad was internally flagged as obsolete by Apple in November, but it wasn’t until today that Apple updated its public list.
Released in November 2012, the fourth-generation iPad was the first iPad to feature the Lightning connector, which was first revealed on the iPhone 5, which was announced a few weeks before the product launch.
At the same time as the introduction of the Lightning port to the iPad, the fourth-generation iPad is equipped with an A6X processor, 1GB of memory, twice as fast as its predecessor, and three times better graphics performance than its predecessor. Apple also updated the list today, marking mid-2010 and late 2012 Mac mini models as obsolete.
