Apple pencil compatibility
Find out which Apple Pencil works with which iPad.
Buy ipad pro
The Apple Trade In program makes it easy to trade in an eligible iPad. Just answer a few questions regarding the model and condition, and we will provide an estimated trade-in value◊◊ or a simple way to recycle it for free if it’s not eligible for credit.
If your iPad is eligible and you accept the quote, we will send you a free trade-in kit, separate to your new iPad (at not cost to you) so you can then send in your current iPad within the 14 day return window.
Once we receive your iPad, we’ll inspect it and verify its condition. If the condition matches what you described, there’s nothing more you need to do. If the condition doesn’t match, a new trade-in value will be provided. You’ll have the option to either accept this revised value or reject it. We’ll work with you to confirm that you still want to move forward with the trade-in.
If you buy online and choose to pay with Apple Card Monthly Installments, we’ll instantly apply your estimated trade-in value to the purchase of your new iPad. If you pay in full, your trade-in value is applied as a refund to your original payment method. This happens once we receive your eligible iPad and confirm that the condition matches what you described.
The trade-in process can take up to 2-3 weeks.
You can also trade your device in at an Apple Store at the point of purchase, however the trade-in value in store may be different from the estimated trade-in value you received online.
Drag and drop between apps
With drag and drop, you can move text, photos, and files from one app to another. For example, you can drag text from Safari into a note, an image from Photos into a an email, or a calendar event into a text message.
- Use Split View or Slide Over to open the two apps that you want to move information between.
- Touch and hold a photo or file until it appears to lift off the screen slightly. To drag and drop text, select the text first, then touch and hold it. To select multiple photos or files, touch and hold one, drag it slightly, then continue to hold it while you tap additional items with another finger. A badge indicates the number of selected items.
- Drag the photo, file, or text to the other app.
