I recently purchased an iPad 11. This is the first iPad I’ve had in years. I set it up using my iPhone so it took on many of those settings and apps. But then I customized it further, and I’m happy where it’s at now as far as software and customization.

I’m thinking about taking this iPad 11 back before the 14 days is up and get an iPad Mini instead. But I would probably wait until the iPad Mini price is back down to $400, which might be a few weeks or months.

If I backup this iPad 11 that I have now to iCloud, will that backup remain even after I take the iPad off of my Apple account and factory reset it? Will that backup still be there in a month or so when I buy the new iPad Mini?
