About the Apple iPad Air MD785LL/B 16GB Wi-Fi 9.7-inch

The iPad Air (first generation, model MD785LL/B) is Apple's 2013 9.7-inch tablet with a 2048x1536 Retina display, an A7 chip and 16GB of storage. It is thin and light at about 1 pound, but it is long past software support and 16GB fills up fast. At $74.98 at Walmart as of November 8, 2026, it is priced near the bottom of what this old model sells for.

Stuck on iOS 12; many current apps won't install
  • Battery is likely worn on a used unit
  • No Touch ID, no USB-C, no Apple Pencil support
  • Sluggish with modern websites and apps
  • What reviewers say

    • 2.9 / 5270 ratings

    Ratings are low at 2.9 out of 5, and complaints center on age, storage and battery rather than the screen. Owners who use it for reading and video still call it a good value at this price.

    What people mention
    • StorageCriticisedOwners say 16GB is used up quickly once apps and photos are added.
    • Software supportCriticisedIt stops at iOS 12, so many current apps cannot be installed.
    • BatteryCriticisedBattery life is short on units this old and may need replacing.
    • DisplayPraisedThe Retina screen is sharp and good for reading and video.
    • BuildPraisedThe aluminum body feels solid and the tablet is light to hold.
    • PerformanceMixedFine for basic apps, but slow with modern websites and games.

    Questions and answers

    Is the iPad Air 16GB still worth buying in 2026?
    Only as a cheap basic tablet. It cannot run current iPadOS or many newer apps, so treat it as a reader and video device, not a daily driver.
    Can it run the latest iPadOS?
    No. The first-generation iPad Air stops at iOS 12, so apps that require iOS 13 or later will not install.
    How much storage do I actually get?
    16GB total, and the system takes several gigabytes, leaving roughly 10 to 12GB for apps, photos and downloads.
    Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
    No. Apple Pencil support starts with later iPad models; this one uses a finger or a third-party stylus.
    Is $74.98 a good price?
    It is a low price for a working iPad Air, but check battery health and whether the apps you need still support iOS 12 before buying.
    What comes in the box?
    Expect the tablet and a Lightning charging cable; a used unit may not include the power adapter.
