Can ipads be part exchanged for newer models?

Hey all,

I was just wondering if it is possible to part exchange an ipad 4 (in absolutely mint condition, with the box, papers and charger) for an ipad air, and pay the difference? If so, where could I go to do this? I want a new ipad air, however - not a used one. Does Apple do this at all, or is it only done through places like CEX?

Thanks :smile:

I'm pretty sure apple won't do it and if you part exchange at CEX they may not have a brand new iPad air. Maybe sell it on eBay or something and just get one from the apple store?

(Writing this on an iPad Air, well worth it :P )

Hey, thanks for the prompt response. I'm also debating whether it's worth just waiting for the ipad 6 to be released. The air, while very nice, is not substantially better than the ipad 4, and few - if any - of the games/programs released utilise the Air's power. I imagine that, by the time games/programs do utilise that sort of power, the ipad 6 will be round the corner...as they're released every September/October.Thanks for the advice, though. I'll still be selling this one, either way. It's just a case of when, how, and whether to wait.

Yeah that's a good point, I upgraded from the original iPad so for me it was a massive difference but from a 4 to a 5 isn't much and who knows what will be in the next one?

Apple have their own recycling program for trading in old devices, but it seems to be a straight buy/sell situation rather than any sort of part exchange functionality. The cash values they offer are about in line with CEX's, that is to say a perfect condition iPad 4 will fetch you less than half the price of the equivalent model iPad Air if bought new at RRP.
