If you are thinking about changing your iPad, the perfect time has come, since Apple has raised the economic values of its Trade-In program, so you can get more money when you hand in your old tablet and get a new iPad with a better discount . Models such as the iPad Pro, iPad Air or iPad mini will now receive a higher amount when delivered as part of the payment to purchase a new device.
Although the changes are not drastic, every euro counts when it comes to modernizing your technology.
What is the Apple Trade-In program?
The program Trade-In is an initiative that allows users to deliver Apple devices (and other brands, such as some Android devices) in exchange for a discount on their next purchase. Apple evaluates your device, determines its condition, and offers you a value accordingly, which is discounted directly of the price of the product you choose to buy. If your device has no trade-in value, Apple recycles it for free, ensuring environmentally responsible management.
The process is simple:
- Go to Apple’s website or go to a physical store.
- Provides information about the model and status of your device.
- Receive an estimate of trade-in value.
- Hand in your device at the time of purchase or send it in and get the corresponding discount.
Additionally, this program is compatible with a wide range of devices, including iPhones, MacBooks, Apple Watches, and of course, iPads.
How much more value can you get for your iPad?
With the recent increase in trade-in values, users can get up to €35 extra depending on the model and its condition. It is important to keep in mind that this extra credit is part of a promotion that will only be available until January 15. The new maximum values are detailed below:
- iPad Pro: Until €680 (previously €645).
- iPad Air: Until €330 (previously €225).
- iPad: Until €255 (previously €240).
- ipad mini: Until €280 (previously €275).
Exact values depend on the model, storage capacity, and condition of the device. Apple reserves the right to adjust the estimate if the device has damage, such as broken screens or a degraded battery.
If you are planning to change your device, the Trade-In program not only allows you to save money, but also contribute to sustainability. With these new rates, exchanging your old iPad for one of the latest generation such as the iPad Pro with M2 or the sixth generation iPad mini is more affordable.
For example, if you have an iPad Pro in good condition and want to upgrade to the latest model, the up to €680 that you can obtain represent a significant reduction in the final price. The same goes for the iPad Air, which is still a powerful and more affordable option than the Pro, especially if you can trade in your previous model.
The increase in values of Apple’s Trade-In program comes at an ideal time for the holidays, encouraging upgrading to next-generation devices during holiday shopping. This move reinforces its commitment to sustainability by encouraging recycling and reducing electronic waste, while boosting sales in a competitive market. In addition, Trade-In stands out for its convenience and security, offering a reliable experience backed by Apple.
If you’re ready to trade in your iPad and get more out of its value, don’t hesitate: take advantage of this increase in Trade-In program values and make the jump to the next generation of Apple technology. Your wallet (and the planet) will thank you.
