Sell Your iPad Air (5th generation)

2022 · A2588, A2589, A2591

We pay up to £284, paid the same day.

The condition of your iPad Air (5th generation) sets the offer, and issues such as a cracked screen or a worn battery are reviewed during the same inspection before we quote. Once the inspection confirms that quote, it is held for 14 days and will not be reduced on arrival. Payment is made the same day once your photo ID and proof of address have been checked, no matter which delivery route you chose.

Not sure whether a part is original? How to check a refurbished phone

Before you sell

We cannot buy a device that is still under contract or on finance, because until it is paid off you are not yet its legal owner. We also cannot buy a device that is part of an ongoing insurance claim, or that has been reported lost or stolen.

We record the name and address of everyone we buy from, and check them against photo ID and proof of address. HMRC requires it: buying from a private seller, we have to raise the purchase invoice ourselves and it must carry your details. Bring the documents into the shop and show us, or send a photo if the device is reaching us another way.

Combined rating across Google, Trustpilot and Facebook reviews.

Paid the same day

Cash or bank transfer as soon as your device is checked, not store credit.

Price held 14 days

Once we send your offer it will not drop, so you have time to decide.

We repair, so faulty still pays

Cracked screen or worn battery is a job on our bench, not a write-off.

Not the iPad Air (5th generation) storage or condition you were looking for?

We buy a lot more than we list here. Older iPhones, Samsung and Pixel handsets, iPads, Apple Watches, MacBooks and games consoles all get a real offer, and a cracked or faulty device is still worth something to us because we repair them in house. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a firm price.

No obligation, and nothing to pay. We will not give you a number we cannot honour, so if we need to see it first we will say so.

Three steps

How selling your iPad Air (5th generation) works

No haggling, no waiting on a callback, and no offer that quietly drops when you arrive.

Get your price

Pick your iPad Air (5th generation) storage and condition above and the price we pay appears straight away, no waiting for a callback.

Paid the same day

Accept the offer and you are paid there and then, cash or bank transfer, never store credit.

Your price

What your iPad Air (5th generation) is worth depends on

Storage

Bigger storage means a better price. Tell the finder above which iPad Air (5th generation) you have and it prices that exact variant.

The storage variants mendmyi buys for the iPad Air (5th generation) are 64GB and 256GB. Knowing which is installed matters when you give the details, and Settings shows the capacity if you are unsure.

Screen condition

A cracked screen does not drop you to a faulty price. You keep the condition the phone is otherwise in and we simply take off what the glass costs us to replace, because we replace them ourselves.

Body and connector

Dents, scuffs and cracks to the casing are graded as part of the overall condition. A cracked back or a bent frame lowers the offer but rarely rules a device out.

Getting the iPad Air (5th generation) to us is flexible: book the free collection, visit our Haverhill shop counter or post it, and the offer is the same. Once we inspect it, the confirmed quote is held for 14 days and payment is made the same day after your ID and proof of address are checked.

Battery health

Our cut off is 90 per cent, so at or above that there is no deduction at all. Below it we take off what a genuine replacement costs us rather than calling the iPad Air (5th generation) faulty. Apple's own 80 per cent mark is a repair threshold, not a resale one.

When we inspect your iPad Air (5th generation), damage is handled as part of one condition check, so a cracked screen and a worn battery are reviewed together rather than as separate problems.

Battery wear is checked as part of the condition review, so a faded battery is not a hidden problem. If your iPad Air (5th generation) no longer holds charge as well as it used to, include that when describing it.

Whether it powers on

A device that boots and passes our checks is worth more than one that does not, but a dead handset is still worth telling us about rather than binning.

iCloud or Google account lock

We can only buy your iPad Air (5th generation) once it is signed out of iCloud, with Find My switched off.

Before the iPad Air (5th generation) reaches mendmyi, sign out of your Apple Account and turn off Find My. An iPad still tied to your account is effectively locked, and dealing with that in advance is part of preparing it for sale.

Original parts matter to the price: an aftermarket screen, battery or camera fitted by someone else changes what we can pay. If you are not sure what is in your iPad Air (5th generation), our guide on how to check a refurbished phone walks through what to look for.

Five minutes

Before you sell: five minutes that protect you

Do these before you hand the device over and the sale goes through without a hitch.

  • 1.Back up what you want to keep

    Photos, contacts and anything else you would not want to lose. If an upgrade is replacing it, here is our guide to moving everything to your new phone.

  • 2.Sign out of iCloud or your Google account

    Turn off Find My before you hand over the iPad Air (5th generation). A device still signed in cannot be bought from you.

  • 3.Take out the SIM and any memory card

    These are yours to keep and are not part of the sale.

  • 4.Note down the IMEI

    Dial *#06# or check Settings to find it, in case you want a record for your own files.

No surprises

Ownership, ID and your data

Three things worth knowing before you sell anything to anyone, not just to us.

The device has to be yours to sell

We cannot buy a device that is still under contract or on finance, because until it is paid off you are not yet its legal owner. We also cannot buy a device that is part of an ongoing insurance claim, or that has been reported lost or stolen.

"This device is not under contract or finance, is not part of an insurance claim, and has not been reported lost or stolen - I own it outright."

We record name, address and ID on every purchase

We record the name and address of everyone we buy from, and check them against photo ID and proof of address. HMRC requires it: buying from a private seller, we have to raise the purchase invoice ourselves and it must carry your details. Bring the documents into the shop and show us, or send a photo if the device is reaching us another way.

It protects you as much as us: the purchase can always be traced back to a genuine sale rather than an anonymous one. A photocard driving licence showing your current address covers both documents on its own.

GOV.UK: VAT margin schemes, section 6.2

Your data is wiped at our shop

Once your device is checked in, it is fully wiped and factory reset at our shop before it goes anywhere else. Nothing of yours is left behind on it.

Locked in

Your price is held for 14 days

Once we send you an offer for your iPad Air (5th generation), it is held for 14 days. That gives you time to compare us against the online recyclers before deciding, without the price moving under you.

Selling your iPad Air (5th generation)

If I ask for a quote for my iPad Air (5th generation) today but only send it later, does the 14-day hold start from today?

No. The 14 days begin once mendmyi has inspected the iPad Air (5th generation) and confirmed the offer, so requesting the quote early will not eat into the hold.

Can mendmyi reduce its offer after my iPad Air (5th generation) is received, or is the amount quoted the amount I will actually be paid?

The amount quoted is the amount paid once the inspection confirms it. The offer on your iPad Air (5th generation) is not an opening position, so it will not be reduced when it arrives.

If my iPad Air (5th generation) has a cracked screen and the battery has also faded, are both problems looked at together in one check?

Yes. A cracked screen and a faded battery are both reviewed together in the same condition check on your iPad Air (5th generation), so you do not need to list them as two separate events.

What should I do with my Apple Account and the Find My setting on my iPad Air (5th generation) before it goes to mendmyi?

Sign out of your Apple Account and disable Find My. That way your iPad Air (5th generation) arrives without an account lock, so the sale is not held up by a setting that should have been cleared first.

Other than the free collection, what are my options for getting my iPad Air (5th generation) to mendmyi, and will my choice affect the offer?

You can drop it at the mendmyi shop counter in Haverhill or post it, just as easily as booking the free collection. Whichever route you choose for the iPad Air (5th generation), the offer stays the same.

Does mendmyi always need photo ID and proof of address for an iPad Air (5th generation), and does payment still go out on the same day if I deliver it by hand?

Yes on both. Photo ID and proof of address are required for every purchase without exception, and payment is released the same day once both are confirmed, whether you hand the iPad Air (5th generation) over at the counter, post it or use the collection.
