Can you believe that it was just five years ago that the beloved iPad was released? Today this device is so ubiquitous, it's hard to believe that there was a time before iPads even existed (those were dark days ...)

The iPad may only be 5, but it's very mature for it's age. People use it for everything from babysitting and watching celebrity chef's cook unbelievable food, to making music and piloting drones. There have actually been more than 225 million iPads sold in the last five years. And if you watch the show Modern Family, their recent “Connection Lost” episode was filmed entirely on an iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6.

Amazing.

Since Gazelle started offering iPad trade-ins in March, 2011, customers have sent in nearly 4.3 million iPads of all generations. To date, Gazelle has paid out nearly $20 million to customers for their iPads. But Gazelle customers aren't just trading them in -- they are buying them too. iPads represent 19% of all transactions for Gazelle Certified pre-owned since they launched that service in October, 2014.



If you don't have an iPad yet - or would like to upgrade to a newer version - definitely check out Certified pre-owned iPads. The quality and functionality are like-new and there are no contracts to worry about. The price is pretty impressive too!

Gazelle Certified pre-owned service definitely goes the extra mile for customers:

• Gazelle puts every single phone through a 30-point quality inspection process.
• There are no contracts and no strings attached.
• If you are not totally satisfied with your device, Gazelle lets you return it within 30 days of purchase - risk free.
• You get a really nice iPad, smartphone, etc., in Like New or Good condition, at a great price.

What better way to celebrate the iPad's 5th birthday than with one of your very own!
