Model and Storage Capacity
Your iPad’s model and storage size are key factors in determining trade-in value. Newer models and larger storage capacities typically fetch a much higher price due to high demand.
Physical Condition
The overall condition of your iPad also directly impacts its trade-in value. If your device is in good shape with minimal dents and scratches, you will receive a higher valuation and sell it for a better price.
Battery Health
A healthy battery is crucial to an iPad’s performance and trade-in price. iPads with good battery health command a higher value, and as part of our valuation, our team will conduct careful checks of the battery’s health.
Completeness of Set
Having your iPad’s original accessories, such as the charger, cable, and box, can boost trade-in value. Complete sets are more attractive to potential buyers, helping you secure a higher trade-in price.
Market Demand
Trade-in values also reflect current market demand for specific models. Popular iPads generally fetch higher prices, while older or less sought-after models may have lower values.
