New iPad time

[ronk]

It’s new iPad time as my old thing won’t update past 12.5

As I can’t get out to the shops these days due to my injury, what iPad do i buy ( mail order)

What size do you want? 8”, 10”, 11”, 13”?

You can get a Apple refurb 10” iPad 9th gen for £249.

We have used CEX in the past for iphones and ipads. Various grades from new with packaging to used and they will give you a trade in value for yours. Not sure if they deliver though.

I’m using a 5th gen that I bought maybe six or seven years ago now. Battery life is nothing to write home about but it still works and updates perfectly well.

iPad Pro 9.7" can be bought on eBay for about £100 upwards for a good one. I have had one for 7 years and use it regularly. I now have 3 and they are in constant use.

I think it’s looking like an apple refurbished job
My current iPad won’t go further than 12.5.7

I’m not sure which model it is - On the back it says Model A1474

The iPad Pros that I have are running 16.7.10. I just bought another for £80 in very good condition. It runs all the apps I want and I have never had a problem downloading apps. It depends what you want it for I suppose.

That's a 2013 iPad Air 1st Gen:

If you want to compare that to the 9th Gen iPad then:

Its worth checking the Apple website to see what models can receive security and operating upgrades. It may not be important to you but STMBO in our hose does all our banking on her Ipad so it has to have the upgrades. Mine less so.

She also has just been diagnosed that she has to have hearing aids. The latest upgrade ISO 18 includes new technology that turns you airpods into hearing aids. Worth looking into what is important to you and which model supplies it
