  1. They also buy back iPads too, my old 1st Gen iPad Pro finally had to go because I was using it for remote school at home for most of last year… Zoom eats up so much battery power… finally went and got the last iPad Pro before they put their M1 chip in it (kind of not happy I missed out on that, but I’m not in any rush to replace my new one) and they actually gave me a surprisingly decent amount of money to buy back my old one… and they also bought my old Samsung S10e when I finally switched. (Samsung copying the no headphone jack was the last straw, I don’t want something else to charge, yet another device with a slowly degrading lithium battery (or three for the AirPods, two in the earpieces, one in the case). I use a wired set of lightning connector headphones from a local maker (usually makes traditional 1/8” jack cellphone headsets, but somehow they got Apple MFI certification! I’ve bought other headphones from them before, and was happy I could continue to support them.)
