Apple publishes one trade-in figure for each iPad family, the most it pays for the newest model in the best condition. An older iPad (10th gen) gets less, so the tool leaves Apple's figure out of the upgrade cost and uses local quotes.
Is it worth upgrading from the iPad (10th gen) to the iPad (A16)?
A new iPad (A16) 128GB Wi-Fi costs £429 in the United Kingdom. After selling an iPad (10th gen) at the best local quote, it costs £250 (5 Oct 2026). Our default verdict: MAYBE.
Your iPad (10th gen) still does the job. The iPad (A16) is a nice-to-have.
- It is 4 years old.
- Your iPad still sells for about 42% of the new one's price. That share drops every year you wait.
What the iPad (A16) adds
- The A16 chip, newer than your A14.
Your own result depends on storage, Wi-Fi or Cellular, condition and where you sell, so run the tool for your iPad.
If the battery is the problem, Apple's battery service costs far less than a new iPad.
