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 (A16) gets less, so the tool leaves Apple's figure out of the upgrade cost and uses local quotes.

A new iPad (A16) 128GB Wi-Fi costs £429 in the United Kingdom. After selling an iPad (A16) at the best local quote, it costs £215 (5 Oct 2026). Our default verdict: KEEP IT.
Your iPad (A16) is as fast as the iPad (A16) or faster. There is nothing to upgrade to.
- Your A16 is as fast as the iPad (A16)'s A16 or faster. There is nothing to upgrade to.
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.
