What moves the price on either one?
Configuration. Extra memory and storage lift the figure; the price check lists only combinations Apple actually built.
Condition. Grades run from Like New to Damaged, and cracked glass or dents cost the most.
Function and battery. Anything needing repair comes off the price, and a battery under 80% health lowers it.
Eligibility. Either one needs to be signed out of its Apple Account, with Find My and Activation Lock off and no lock or lost/stolen flag.
Unsure? The same About screen gives the capacity, and cellular iPads also list an IMEI or have a SIM tray.
