Our take on the Apple iPad Air with Wi-Fi and Cellular

The iPad Air is Apple's mid-range tablet, sold here in a 9.7-inch Wi-Fi + Cellular configuration with an eSIM for mobile data. It has a 2048 x 1536 display at 264 ppi, an octa-core Apple M3 chip, USB-C with USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds, and support for an active stylus. The best new price is $74.98 at Walmart as of November 8, 2026, far below what a current iPad Air with cellular normally costs. That gap is a red flag: the listed 16 GB of storage and 5 MP rear camera match the 2013–2014 first-generation iPad Air, not any M3 model, so check the exact model and storage before buying.

Best forShoppers who want cellular data on a tablet without a contractReading, streaming and light browsing on the couch or on tripsStudents who want stylus note-taking on a budgetBuyers who prefer a smaller, lighter 9.7-inch tablet
Pros
  • Cellular via eSIM, so no physical SIM tray to deal with
  • Sharp 264 ppi display at 2048 x 1536
  • USB-C with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 data transfer
  • Stylus support for notes and sketching
  • Light at about 16 oz
Cons
  • 16 GB of storage fills up fast with apps, photos and offline video
  • 5 MP rear and 1.2 MP front cameras are dated
  • No fingerprint reader, so unlocking relies on a passcode
  • No water resistance and no memory card slot
  • Specs mix old iPad Air hardware with an M3 chip, so confirm the model

Is $74.98 a good price for this iPad Air?
It is far below typical iPad Air cellular pricing, which makes it worth verifying. Confirm the exact model, storage and condition before ordering at Walmart as of November 8, 2026.
Is 16 GB of storage enough?
Barely. Apps, photos and offline video will fill 16 GB quickly, and there is no memory card slot, so plan on streaming and cloud storage.
Does it work with an Apple Pencil?
It supports an active stylus, but check which Pencil generation matches this model before buying one, since compatibility varies by iPad generation.
Can I use it with a cellular plan?
Yes. It uses an eSIM, so you add a data plan from a carrier without a physical SIM card.
What comes in the box?
Expect the tablet and a charging cable. No keyboard or stylus is included.
