Hello I would like to trade in my iPad 10th generation . It is engraved and I am worried that I won’t get the same trade in value as on that isn’t engraved . Has anyone had experience with trading in an engraved ipad?
If it was engraved by Apple, it will not affect its trad-in value.
If it was engraved by a third party company, it may affect the value.
Can I trade in an engraved device?
Yes, engraved Apple products are eligible for trade-in. If the device was engraved by Apple, its trade-in value won’t be impacted. However, third-party engraving may affect your device’s value.

In most (if not all) countries/regions, Apple’s trade-in programme doesn’t accept current models of iPad. For current models, you may need to consider selling privately. You can verify current eligibility for trade-in and an estimated value here:
You should always consider the merits of product customisation with engraving - as this may impact future values, in particular if attempting to sell privately.
If accepted for trade-in, an Apple-engraved device may be accepted with little if any impact upon the trade-in value - which will always be considerably lower than the price that you paid.
