how can I return my iPad?

Well, the return period is only 14 days, so that won't work. Apple does not have an exchange program for the iPad, however they do have a recycle program. You can check to see if your local Apple Store participates in that, otherwise you can check the internet for a site that handles recycling or you can sell the device to someone yourself.

Thinking about a new iPad? Get up to $300 in credit for your current one.

Simply bring your eligible iPad to the Apple Store and get instant credit, or trade it in online for an Apple Store Gift Card.

Hi

You will get more money if you sell yourself on EBAY.

Thanks, new information I was not aware of.

Same program exists for the iPhone

I was aware of the iPhone program. I just wasn't aware of the iPad one. I appreciate it.
