I really want a Mac and I was trying to see if I can trade my iPad Pro 3rd gen. The screen is cracked, but I was trying to see if someone can repair the screen.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
Hello~ You can make an appointment with Apple to get it repaired but it may cost more than it’s worth.

An iPad with a cracked screen has no trade in value but Apple will recycle it for you.

‘’We cannot speak for Apple on these forums, if your iPad is eligible for a trade in, then use the online store and follow the prompts.
You may be able have the display repaired, however I think you will find that after getting it fixed it’s still not worth much if anything. My recommendation is if you want a Mac to save up for one and buy it.
If you're leaning towards a new iMac consider getting a Mac Mini M4 with a 3rd party 27" 4K monitor. You can use your current mouse and keyboard with it.
I just got a Mini M4 with a 32" 4K monitor and it was over $600 less than a comparatively configured 24" iMac.
Can I trade a iPad for a laptop??
