What model of iPad will you accept?
iPad eligibility: TechConnects requires operational iPads in good condition (i.e. no cracked screens). Ideally, we’re looking for iPads made after 2012, from the 4th Generation and above. You can identify the model of your iPad by looking up the serial number on the back of your device. Learn how.
2.
