The Apple October event is tomorrow and it’s widely thought that new iPad Pro’s will be unveiled. To get a head start I thought I’d giveback my soon to be previous generation iPad Pro to Apple and get a $200 gift card in exchange. But the option to giveback a 10.5” iPad Pro is not available. I ran into the same issue when attempting to sell back my then latest generation MacBook Pro; Apple wouldn’t allow it until roughly a week after the new model started shipping. This may be a precaution from Apple to inhibit an influx of people selling back their one generation old devices on launch day which could cause even longer lines. Or so people don’t realize that they’re only getting less than half of what they payed for the device when selling back to Apple. Who knows, but I still much prefer this giveback program to the alternative of waiting at coffee shop for a Craigslister to maybe maybe maybe show up and start bargaining.
