It’s a familiar tale: you’ve got an old or broken iPad sitting around the house, but you don’t know what to do with it. If this sounds like you, you are not alone!

Read that again: “800 laptops every second.” Yes, every second. It stopped us in our tracks too. That’s why we shout about an alternative to just binning your old tech.

Don’t Let Your Broken iPad Collect Dust – let it make you money instead!
It’s sad but true once our gadgets are broken or not used anymore, we often just cast them aside to collect dust in the corners of our homes. After all, when something is broken, it can be hard to think of how we can still use it – and instead of recycling or fixing our gadgets, we take the easy option and store them away or (even worse) bin them. But before you rush to get rid of your broken iPad, consider if there might be another way to get a bit more use out of it whatever its condition.

Here’s one of the most common ways it can be used. Let’s assume you have a broken iPad Pro.
