Our take on the Apple iPad Air 2 16GB Wi-Fi 9.7-inch

The iPad Air 2 is Apple's 2014 9.7-inch tablet, a thin aluminum slate with a 2048 x 1536 Retina display, an 8 MP rear camera and a rated 10 hours of battery. It runs iOS, which caps it at iPadOS 15, so current apps and security updates are limited. At $74.99 at Walmart as of November 8, 2026, it is a low-cost way into an Apple tablet, but 16GB of storage and an aging chip are real constraints.

Questions and answers

Is the iPad Air 2 still worth buying in 2026?
Only for basic use: reading, video, email and web. It cannot run the newest iPadOS, so check that the apps you need still support iPadOS 15 before buying.
Can the iPad Air 2 run current apps?
It tops out at iPadOS 15. Many apps still work, but some newer ones require iPadOS 16 or later and will not install.
Is 16GB enough storage?
Barely. After the system, you have roughly 10GB free, which fits a few apps and some photos but not a large video or game library. There is no microSD slot.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rated it at 10 hours of web browsing or video. On a unit this old, expect less, and check the battery health before buying used.
What comes in the box?
A new-in-box unit typically includes the iPad, a Lightning cable and a USB power adapter. Confirm the contents with the seller, since stock this old varies.
When is it cheapest?
Prices on a 2014 tablet track clearance and used stock rather than seasons. The current best new price is $74.99 at Walmart as of November 8, 2026.
Where is the Apple iPad Air 2 16GB Wi-Fi 9.7-inch cheapest?
At Walmart, for $74.99, as of our latest check.
