Apple’s most powerful iPad Pro ever is just $499 with this trade-in deal – and you can save 10% extra, too

The Apple iPad Pro was only released on the 15th of October, and already we’ve spotted a seriously tempting trade-in deal. That means you can pick up the iPad Pro 11-inch (M5) at Best Buy for as little as $499 (was $999). The 13-inch alternative is also available for $799 (was $1,299).

The maximum trade-in value of $500 is available on the latest iPads, assuming they’re in excellent condition. But, even if they’re a little bit damaged, it’s worth checking their trade-in value using Best Buy’s online calculator.

The deal is actually a little bit better for My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total members, who get an extra 10% trade-in value. If you’re already a member or fancy signing up today, you’ll get the very best price for this new laptop.

Apple has gone all out AI with the M5 version of the iPad Pro. That means every single CPU core gets a neural accelerator. Apple says, “The improved power and performance will, along with a faster 16-core neural engine, raise the bar for productivity tasks and AI operations.”

Aside from that, there are no notable design updates. As outlined in our news item, the iPad Pro 11 is still 5.3 mm thick, and the 13-inch model 5.1mm thin. Both offer the same Ultra Retina XDR screen featuring the tandem OLED technology that makes that thinness and the incredible blacks possible.

We previously reviewed the larger iPad Pro 13-inch and called it “an absolute powerhouse of a tablet” – you can expect the same and more from the M5 model. As a result, we expect it to take pride of place in our guide to the best iPads.
