iPad Air release sparks rise in tablet trade-ins - Telegraph.co.uk

The iPad 4 64GB 4G is currently the most expensive current tablet on sellmymobile.com with consumers being able to recycle it for as much as £323.

Colin White, managing director of sellmymobile.com said: "The new iPad Air sees one of the most significant changes to the iPad's hardware that we have seen in a while – it's light, thinner, faster and as tablets continue to increase in popularity, it's not surprising that gadget-obsessed Brits are starting to upgrade them in the same way that we have seen with mobile phones in the past.

"As they cash in on old devices they are able to then upgrade to the latest model."
