Our take on the Apple iPad Air 9.7-inch Wi-Fi 32GB

The iPad Air 9.7-inch is Apple's 2013 tablet, the first Air, with a 1536 x 2048 Retina display, an A7 chip, 1 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. It weighs about 1 lb and Apple rates the battery at 10 hours. At $94.99 at Walmart as of November 5, 2026, it is priced near the bottom of what this model sells for now, but it is a 13-year-old device with no software support.

Questions and answers

Is the iPad Air 9.7-inch still worth buying in 2026?
Only for basic tasks like browsing, email, reading and video. It cannot run current iOS, so many new apps won't install and it gets no security updates.
Can it run the latest iPadOS?
No. The 2013 iPad Air stopped at iOS 12, so apps that require iOS 13 or later will not install.
How much storage does the 32 GB model actually give me?
About 32 GB total, minus the space taken by the system, leaving roughly the mid-20s in GB for apps, photos and video.
Does it have cellular?
No. This is the Wi-Fi-only model, so it needs a Wi-Fi network for anything online.
What's in the box?
Expect the tablet and a Lightning charging cable and adapter. Accessories vary by seller, so confirm before ordering.

Prices on this model are already low and mostly set by used and clearance stock. Watch listings around back-to-school and Black Friday for the lowest new prices.
