How to Get the Best Price for Your iPad
Several factors affect the resale price of an iPad:
Key Factors Affecting Price
- Model age – 2022 models are considerably more valuable than 2019 models
- Storage capacity – A 128GB model brings a higher price than a 32GB one
- Connectivity – Cellular versions are more expensive than WiFi-only models
- Battery health – Devices with good batteries are more valuable
- Screen condition – Scratches and damage significantly reduce the price
Preparing Your Device for Resale
Before selling your iPad, it’s important to:
- Back up your data – Ensure all important files and photos are backed up
- Remove iCloud association – Turn off the Find My service and log out of your iCloud account
- Perform a factory reset – Delete all personal data
- Clean the device – A physically clean device makes a better impression
If you plan to take your device to UPGREAT Apple service, it’s also important to turn off the Find My service and remove the screen lock beforehand.
What to Do if Trade-in Isn’t Possible?
If your iPad is too old or damaged for trade-in, there are alternative solutions:
1. Repair and Refresh
If your iPad is damaged but works, consider repairs. UPGREAT offers Apple device service and repair that can restore the device’s value and extend its lifespan.
2. Reuse and Recycling
For completely unusable devices:
- C&C offers authorized device recycling
- Electronic waste collection points in Estonia accept electronic devices
- Apple’s official partners can help dispose of your device in an environmentally friendly way
