What a nice device10.5 i pad pro has been.
Such a reliable portable mini laptop type unit.
Anyway since agreed to upgrade to 11" pro to be delivered 2-3 weeks from sky mobile
Managed to get 1gb data sim free saving 48*£6 across term of ipad contract.
Hopefully I Padrecycle honour the quoted £341 for 10.5 +Smart Keyboard which I'm going to recycle.
Any advice mser's for ipad recycle. Uk -hopefully.
If I get their quoted price for 10.5 that could leave enough to purchase 11" Smart Keyboard.
The keyboard part is essential as I use this for everyday home browsing/music/sky etc including office 365.

    Ha! I get your excitement. I've had my iPad 2 since 2015 and it is fab, as good as the day I got it (through a very shady deal). Been all over the world with me.

    And here I am again.
    Recycle company are claiming 10.5 iPad has a manufacturer fault two white spots on screen next to home button.
    To be fair they did advise a free repair could be arranged inApple store.
    I'm not going to bother and re cycle direct to o2 whom I purchased it from and claim their reduced recycle offer of 275 .
    All going well this could pay of 10.5 and leave almost enough for smart eyboard using sky mobile data piggy bank discount.
    At least 11" is flying. Missing Smart Keyboard though.

    Almost two year contract ends from July.
    Honestly face I.d. Is going to be a daily use benefit for myself,
    As as I said amazing device just wanted a newer one from another provider.
    The difference this time is thr two latest devices are between two and three year contracts so no upgrades at all over next few years.
    I have learned that iPad can be very useful when home.
    As I suspect you get loads of use from your Samsung tablet.
    I'll re post on return and when I re- post 10.5 to o2.
    Thanks

    I no longer have it but my iPad Pro 10.5" 'seemed' to perform much better than my iPad Pro 9.5".

    I guess the newer processor, and extra RAM, helped that somewhat, especially with iOS 11 being less than stellar.

    Enjoy your new iPad Pro OP; hopefully you'll be able to find a second hand smart keyboard at a reasonable price in the future.
    It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.

    Appreciated 10.5 was solid device .
    11" is much lighter aluminium taking a bit getting used to.
    Guess apple try and reduce manufacturing costs whilst they continue to charge premium cost.
    10.5 returned to my home today drove to post office though it won't leave until tomorrow.
    Hopefully o2 honour 275 quote
