Can I trade in my ipad if there is something wrong with the software

My iPad has been experiencing some issues lately. It sometimes quits apps automatically or crashes and restarts without warning, even though the hardware seems to be in good condition. I'm wondering if Apple would accept it for trade-in, as it still meets the requirements they have for trade-in devices. Do you think they would accept it despite these glitches?

iPad Air, iPadOS 18

Your iPad will be fully assessed tested when it is received by Apple's trade-in partner - or, if the trade-in is completed at an Apple Store, by Apple's technicians. If anything untoward is identified, the initial trade-in value may be reduced.


Many choose to complete a trade-in at the Genius Bar of an Apple Store - as the assessment is performed while you are in-store - this approach eliminating any unexpected surprises after you have parted with your iPad. If the offer is acceptable to you, you have the trade-in value available to spend as instant credit, or can leave with an Apple Gift Card value of the final trade-in value to spend at a future date.
