On Friday, I sent my iPad to Apple for a trade-in. Had I known we would be going to the Apple Store on Saturday to trade-in Niko’s old iPhone 11 Pro (which was mine and it was also Nina’s) and Apple Watch series 9 (my old watch as I purchased an SE 3 in March), I would’ve held on to mine and done it in person, but no worries.
We actually on Friday decided to get Niko an Apple Watch with GPS and Cellular so he could have a bit more freedom. It was an easy process at the store and the employees who helped us were very nice, and it was also very quick.
The Apple Store wasn’t the only thing we did while we were the Ridgedale Center in Wayzata. We ate lunch at The Tavern Grill (it was ok as it was food, but the service was very poor), I got a popcorn from Dippin Dots & Doc Popcorn, Niko got a chocolate shake at Haagen-Dazs, and Niko got cheese balls from Exotic Snack Guys.
As for my iPad, why did I trade it in? Well, I haven’t used it in several weeks and the only thing I did use it for was to watch TV, which I can do on the big television or my my MacBook Air. But, it’s not something I do daily, it’s very rare when I do. That is why!
I am planning trading in my MacBook Air in March when the new M6’s come out!
Lastly, Nina and I are not the types of people who have to have the newest Apple technology as soon as they come out. She has an iPhone 15, and I have a new iPhone 17. I have absolutely no interest in a “foldable phone.”
