What affects your Apple iPad Air 1st Gen payout

  • Carrier lock. Unlocked Apple iPad Air 1st Gen units typically beat carrier locked offers because more buyers can accept them. Check the network selector above to see your specific payout.
  • Accessories and box. The original box and charger usually do not change the offer, but a missing power button, dead Face ID, or activation lock will. Sign out of your accounts and disable Find My before shipping.
