- 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.

- 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.
