Hi, my iPad Pro 12.9" 2017 has been having some issues. I called Apple Care. They said that I did not buy Apple Care for the iPad and they could not repair it. However, they offered me an option to pay $440 to get a brand new one of the same model. Since this model no longer exits in the market, I asked them again if it is a brand new one or a refurbished one. They said that it is a brand new one. Is this really true? Is it worth to pay $440 to replace mine or just buy a new iPad or Samsung tablet?
