The quick answer

Your iPad's trade-in value depends on its exact generation, screen size, storage, Wi-Fi or cellular hardware and condition. An iPad Air, standard iPad and iPad Pro of a similar size are different devices. Find your model number first, then use the complete model table to open a quote for your own configuration.

Key points

  • Use the iPad's model number when a family name or purchase year leaves the generation unclear.
  • Quote the installed storage capacity and actual Wi-Fi or cellular model; free storage and an inactive data plan do not identify those options.
  • Older standard iPads, Air and mini models appear in the table alongside Pro models; check your exact generation.
  • Resolve Find My and school or company management before shipping, and value a Pencil or keyboard separately unless requested.

Find the exact iPad before comparing prices

Open Settings > General > About and record the model name, model number and capacity. Use total capacity, not the amount of storage still available. Tap the part number in the Model Number field to reveal the A-number, then look it up in Apple's iPad identification guide. Apple's About-screen guide explains these fields.

Match the entire name. An 11-inch iPad Pro can belong to several generations, while an 11-inch iPad Air is a separate product. A purchase date is not enough: an older model may have been bought after its release year.

If the iPad will not start, check the model number on the device or your purchase records. If the name in Settings differs from a catalog label, ask support to confirm the match before choosing a similar-looking model. Do not post your serial number publicly.

These maximum advertised values come from GadgetRenu's current catalog, which is refreshed periodically. They are not a guaranteed payout or a quote for every configuration. Your offer depends on the details you select and is confirmed after inspection. Any Fast-Ship Bonus is shown separately in your quote.

Trade in your iPad for cash: review your exact offer before accepting, prepare your device and use the prepaid shipping label. Inspection confirms its details and condition.

How to compare: use the same model and condition. Cash buyback value, an asking price on a marketplace and upgrade credit are different amounts; fees or required purchases can change what you actually receive.

Storage and cellular hardware: two details that are easy to mix up

Storage is part of the configuration you are selling. For example, Apple's 10th-generation iPad came in 64 GB and 256 GB versions. Removing files from a 256 GB iPad does not turn it into the lower-capacity model, and the amount you paid for extra storage is not a guaranteed resale premium. Compare quotes for the same capacity.

Identify Wi-Fi versus Wi-Fi + Cellular using the model number. An inactive cellular plan does not make a cellular iPad a Wi-Fi-only device. Nor does the absence of a SIM tray prove that it is Wi-Fi only: some cellular iPads use eSIM. Apple's model list distinguishes these versions.

For a cellular iPad, settle any device financing and arrange to transfer or cancel service as appropriate. Clearing the data plan and clearing an unpaid device balance are separate tasks. Select only the connectivity and carrier options actually offered for your model.

Check the whole tablet, not just whether it turns on

A large screen can look fine while a small area fails to respond. Before requesting an offer, inspect the glass and frame, view a light and dark screen, and use a drawing or notes app to check touch response across the display. Record cracks, lines, discoloration, bright spots, dead areas or a bent frame rather than grouping them all under minor wear.

Try the buttons, charging connection, cameras, speakers and Wi-Fi. Check Touch ID or Face ID if fitted, and note unexpected shutdowns or unreliable charging. Describe known repairs and remaining faults in the quote or with support. A passcode working does not establish that biometric authentication works.

Use the condition choices for the exact iPad. GadgetRenu's nonworking-phone policy is not a promise to buy every damaged tablet. If an iPad's fault is not covered by the form, confirm eligibility before shipping. The acceptance terms exclude liquid-damaged, account-locked, financed and restricted devices, among other categories.

Older iPads: check the offer before deciding to keep or replace

The table includes standard iPad 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th generations, iPad Air 4 and 5, and iPad mini 5 and 6. These are worth checking individually; a Pro maximum tells you little about an older tablet used mainly for reading or video calls. A missing generation means there is no listed quote in this snapshot, not that the device has no value anywhere.

Decide whether the iPad has a specific next job. A household member who can use it now may get more benefit than the cash offer gives you. Check the apps and services that person needs on the actual tablet before handing it down. Keeping a spare can also make sense, but distinguish a useful spare from one that remains unused indefinitely.

If a repair is the only reason you are replacing it, compare the repair estimate with replacement cost minus your actual sale offer. If repairing only to sell, compare the repaired-device offer minus the repair bill with the as-is offer. Use confirmed condition options for both; the model's maximum alone cannot establish that a repair pays for itself.

Compare the tablet separately from its accessories

A keyboard, Apple Pencil, case or charger may have value to you or a private buyer, but do not add an accessory's original price to the iPad cash quote. Check what the offer requires and include only requested items. When comparing a private listing for an iPad bundle, separate the tablet's proceeds from the extras and deduct applicable fees and shipping.

Apple Trade In can provide purchase credit or an Apple Gift Card. Compare its quote for your actual iPad with a cash offer, using the same condition. Credit can be useful for an Apple purchase you already intend to make; cash remains usable elsewhere. Neither option is automatically the better deal because its advertised family maximum is higher.

Finish the transfer before sending your iPad

Verify the files and account access you need on another device. Then follow Apple's iPad handover instructions to remove your account and erase the tablet. For cellular models, arrange service transfer and remove the old SIM or eSIM as directed. A school or employer must release any remaining management restriction; a reset alone is not evidence of that release.

Start with your iPad model, choose its configuration and describe its condition. Under GadgetRenu's terms, carrier acceptance within 14 calendar days of quote acceptance preserves protection against ordinary market-price changes; inspection still verifies the submitted details. For eligible devices that match them, payment is sent within three business days after delivery, including inspection time. A revised offer or unresolved information can affect that deadline.
