I have an old Macbook Pro (2013) and an old iPad Pro (2015) that I want to trade in for a new iPad Pro (11 inch? maybe). Can I have an Apple Genius at the store transfer all the data to the one new device and also save money on purchase with the trade-ins?
iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Cell 5G
You can check eligibility for trade-in - and obtain an estimated trade-in value for your devices - here:
Transferring data between like devices is relatively simple. You simply create an iCloud or iTunes backup - and restore the backup to the new/replacement device - either during initial setup, or after:
Restore all content to iPad from a backup - Apple Support
The technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store will often be able to assist with the transfer process - although making an appointment for your visit is advisable. Without an appointment, there may be long waiting times for walk-in assistance:

Thank-you very much for such a fast reply! Your reminder to make an appt with a Genius is an added bonus; I actually forgot about that, so this advance warning will no doubt save me a long wait! 😉 I will probably get in touch with my local Apple store very soon...the slowness and sluggish response on my iPad is driving me nuts! And I see that the newest version has some features that I could really use as well (the magnetized Apple pencil feature, for one)!
You are very welcome.
If you anticipate needing considerable time to complete an assisted task, choose to make an appointment at a quiet time - when staff will be most able to spend the time that you need without competing tasks.
