    Your Old iPad Could Get You a New Pixel Tablet for Free https://lifehacker.com/tech/your-old-ipad-could-get-you-a-new-pixel-tablet-for-free

    Google is offering a trade-in program for your old Samsung or Apple tablet,
    and depending on the model you're giving up, trading in your tablet gets
    you a Pixel Tablet for free: You just pay the tax.

    Google will accept an iPad as old as the iPad 6, which launched in 2018.

    If it's in good shape, your credit will be $399, which happens to be the
    price of a base-model Pixel Tablet.

    Even if the iPad is beat up, if it turns on, you'll still get $200 for it.

    Seeing as a renewed iPad 6 goes for $164 on Amazon right now, that's a
    great deal. What's interesting is $399 appears to be the maximum Google
    will offer you for any iPad: Whether you have a good condition iPad 6 or
    the latest 12.9-inch iPad Pro, you get $399 for it.

    Whether you think it's worth giving up even a six-year-old iPad will depend
    on how you feel about getting a 128GB Pixel Tablet without the dock. If you want to upgrade to 256GB of storage, can pay only the $99 difference after
    your trade-in (again, plus tax). If you upgrade to the 128GB tablet with
    the dock, same thing. If you go all out and upgrade the dock tablet with
    256GB of storage, you'll pay $199, rather than the MSRP of $599.

    The only catch is you need to pay for the Pixel Tablet in full at the time
    of purchase. Google will send you a mail-in kit for your old tablet, and following an inspection, will rebate you the agreed-upon trade-in value. At
    the end, you can net a new Pixel Tablet for only the tax, as long as you're fine with parting with your old iPad.

    Apple does take some Android phones as a trade-in option on any new
    Apple device. It doesn't specifically mention Android tablets, but they
    may also be eligible as trade-ins - the FAQ on the website does say:
    "You can trade in many Apple and third-party devices, including
    Samsung and Google smartphones, for a trade-in credit or an
    Apple�Gift�Card. If your device isn�t eligible for any trade-in >> value, you can still recycle it with Apple for free."
    <https://www.apple.com/shop/trade-in>

    In addition to Apple accepting Android tablets, Google will accept either a Samsung or Apple tablet, where the list of acceptable tradeins is below.

    Apple doesn't accept Android tablets.

    1. It doesn't accept Android in general, but rather a subset that only
    includes Samsung, Google, and two OnePlus models.

    2. None of the accepted devices are tablets.

    You don't know anything but trolling.

    You're the one who lied that the iPad could do more than Android.
    After you lied, you called me a troll for refuting your lie with
    facts.

    There's nothing an iPad can do that Android tablets don't already do.
    And yet there are many useful things Android tablets do that iPads
    can't.

    And yet ipads are the most popular tablet by sales. https://gs.statcounter.com/vendor-market-share/tablet/worldwide

    If ipads were genuinely as useless as you say why are people buying
    them more than others? More than twice as likely to buy than a galaxy
    tab.

    Pretty sure I can guess your insane response. Let's see...
    <whisper>people are stupid</whisper>

    Note also that he started out with a lie. You won't find a single post
    from me claiming "iPads can do more than Android". What I said was
    Android tabets suck in comparison, and that's backed up by many people, including the editors at websites like Android Central, Android
    Authority, Phandroid, Tech Radar, Thurrott, Digital Trends, ans the list
    goes on. Arlen lies and misrepresents what people say because he can't participate in honest discussion about anything related to Apple due to
    his irrational hatred. So he just slings lies and insults instead. He's pathetic, and so are badgolferman and the other numbskulls who side with
    him time and time again.
