Upgraders jumpstart Apple's 'iPad Christmas' with 175% surge in trade-ins of old iPads for cash

iPad trade-ins through Gazelle grew a whopping 175 percent over Black Friday weekend as presumed
upgraders sought cash for their older models, supporting Apple's belief that the iPad will be the hottest
holiday gift this year.

The trade-in service industry leader — and AppleInsider partner — Gazelle shared new data on iPad
trade-ins Friday, revealing that the period between Black Friday and Cyber Monday saw a massive
increase over the same period last year, up 175 percent. That exceeded the increase in overall traffic,
which was up 74 percent year over year for the same period.

The increase in trade-ins suggests that customers are selling their old iPads for cash to services like
Gazelle as they upgrade to Apple's latest models. Both the thinner and lighter full-size iPad Air and
the new iPad mini with Retina display were launched in November.
