Apple 10.9-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi - 4th generation - tablet - 64 GB - 10.9" IPS (2360 x 1640) - sky blue

The latest iPad has the same bottom-firing speakers as its predecessor, and they’re not great. With a maximum volume of 84db, they’re just loud enough to fill a room. The sound quality is best described as tinny, without a hint of bass. Fortunately, there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack and Bluetooth 4.2 for wireless alternatives. Between the speakers is a Lightning port for charging. The entry-level iPad is Apple’s only tablet that hasn’t been upgraded to USB-C. That said, Apple doesn't make you buy extra accessories to charge it—you get a 20W adapter and a USB-C-to-Lightning cable in the box.

This was an upgrade from my old iPad so I am familiar with the interface and Apps. It arrived in high quality, sleek packaging which was minimal. Set up was straight forward and the iPad led the way with clear instructions. Everything that was on my old iPad (in Cloud) was simply transferred to the new one. This is why I use Apple products (and keep them till almost obsolete) because I need clear, obvious, user friendly design. The device in black is very slim, light and high quality feel. It's simple and elegant in design. When using it is quick to respond and the fingerprint security (plus password) is very good. The screen is clear and doesn't strain my eyes easily. I'm not a tech savvy whizz and I don't play games so I can only comment on basic, everyday, use ... MoreThis was an upgrade from my old iPad so I am familiar with the interface and Apps.

For an easy to use, quality, light and very responsive tablet that is easy on the eyes I have no hesitation in recommending this iPad

All seemed well at first...

Until I removed the preinstalled screen protector. More like scratch hider. Yikes, the front glass was not good. Will be returning for sure. Unacceptable quality, even for refurbished. Hundreds of hairline scratches. Dozens of scratches that are a bit deeper. A handful of significant to really bad scratches and dings. Many of them are quite large in size. All but the hairlines being visible when the screen is on. Strange because everywhere else on the iPad, you know, the places that don't matter at all, were in nearly flawless condition. Yet the screen... Unacceptable and a birthday ruined.

Best iPad to date, laptop replacement for most

Sold my 2020 gaming laptop to get this. I was tired of lugging the laptop around to do nothing really that a quality tablet could not do. After remembering how much I had liked an iPad I used in the past, I decided to read reviews about the new iPad Air and see if it would be a good fit. Ended up picking up the sky blue model, and the 2nd gen Apple pencil. Very solid choice. This tablet has fantastic battery life, screaming fast, gorgeous screen. The added value of the pencil is great as well, especially since the tablet can charge it wirelessly. This tablet is so good in fact, most reviewers recommend it over the iPad Pro because of the cost to value ratio, and this model is so close to the iPad Pro in so many ways, it is almost a no brainer not to pick this up if ... MoreSold my 2020 gaming laptop to get this.

Very happy with my purchase, and would definitely recommend, even over a laptop unless you specifically have to run some application that cannot be used on the iPad.

Great deal, but delivery condition varies greatly

From reading the reviews, you could either get a nearly brand new iPad in an OEM box or something more like the used iPad you might buy second hand. I gambled and came up just short. My iPad Air 4 arrived in a generic cardboard box without the original packaging, wrapped in a very sturdy bubble wrap. Overall, I would say the device was in good B Grade condition, with some very minor but noticeable wear. The body was in perfect shape but the display had multiple light scratches around the edges. The OEM charging brick and cable were included, and there were still 9 months left on the warranty. Overall a pretty good buy, but I was spoiled by the like new Gen 5 iPad Pro 12.9" that I previously bought from Walmart as a refurb, which arrived in an OEM box and had a full ... MoreFrom reading the reviews, you could either get a nearly brand new iPad in an OEM box or something more like the used iPad you might buy second hand.

Clearly that doesn't affect the function, but I'm picky and it makes me nervous to think someone didn't baby the iPad before returning it!

Now's the time to pick up the previous gen

The 4th generation Air is currently at the sweet spot of the iPad lineup. No, it doesn't have the M1 chip, but you can get more storage at a better price, and the A14 Bionic chip is no slouch. The 4th gen has the same styling as the newest version, and if you can get it on a good sale, it's a much better value. If you need what the 5th gen offers, then go for it, I'm just pointing out the value proposition of this one.This iPad can handle anything you can throw at it: web surfing, document creation, even photo editing. The fully laminated screen feels solid, and adding the Apple Pencil completes the package. I upgraded from an 8th gen iPad, and I'm enjoying the extra speed and overall smoothness. If you're ready for your next iPad, I highly recommend you consider ... MoreThe 4th generation Air is currently at the sweet spot of the iPad lineup.

Older basic iPad, 1 year warranty, fast shipping

This model of iPad is now 10 year sold (as of 2022). Yes, as of 2022 it can run Netflix, Zoom, GoogleMeets, etc. As long as you have Netflix in your past Apple purchases, Netflix will let you download an older version so it can run on your older software.So for me, I needed something for Zoom meets, and checking the web every now and then. A new, basic 2022 iPad is about $360- but this older model will work fine. As long as the screen is fully functional and there are no screen scratches- it will be fine. There is a tiny (less than 1/2 inch) scratch on the back- but in the 10 previous years that I had my old iPad, I never saw the back as it was in a case- as this newer one went into immediately.I like the one year warranty- as I may need it.

You can return the iPad to Walmart within 30 days of receiving the iPad, but the one year warranty is directly with the vendor. The battery is not "new" or reconditioned- so it does drain quickly....if it dies within the year, I will follow-up with a refund or replacement.Not listed in the ad, but it came with an aftermarket charging brick and cable.If you need a basic iPad FAST, get this. It is a good deal for the price. The one year warranty is nice too, but not sure how easy that will be if needed.

Please read!!! Buy at your risk...

I have no idea why this product is rated so high. Please read this, walmart is an extremely unreliable retail seller. Apple care was still available which I assume meant it was relatively new. However the battery did not work, whatsoever. I called apple support and they said I had to replace the battery. When plugged in, it would make the sound indicating it was being charged, however the iPad did not show that it was charging on screen. It stayed at 0%, 24/7. The iPad kept on crashing and resetting even when it was on the charger. So, we are currently trying to get a replacement. The replacement process is extremely slow... sent them back the iPad on the 25th, and it's now the 29th, yet has not even shipped. Hopefully they don't accidentally charge us extra, or end ... MoreI have no idea why this product is rated so high. Please read this, walmart is an extremely unreliable retail seller.

Second to none!

This iPad was purchased for a friend who was upgrading from a standard iPad. My friend was aware that I frequently use Very to purchase Apple products, and receive great cash back offers, and that the products are often also reduced in price.I myself already have the iPad Air, as does my father and another friend, both of whom I gave recommendations to.I originally upgraded from the iPad Air 3 to the 4 simply for the larger screen. On the Air 4 there is no longer a thick border resulting in full screen experience. The iPad is operated by a small button at the top that also has finger print recognition. I’ve not noticed much of a difference other than the screen size between the 3rd and 4th generations, although the 4th gen is a slightly different shape. ... MoreThis iPad was purchased for a friend who was upgrading from a standard iPad.

I’ve not noticed much of a difference other than the screen size between the 3rd and 4th generations, although the 4th gen is a slightly different shape. Operationally wise the 4th has an A14 chip rather than the A12 on the 3rd gen which makes it slightly faster, and the screen is Liquid Retina rather that just retina on the Air 3. It’s a great iPad and although I was more than happy with my Air 3 I’m pleased I upgraded for the larger screen size and cool new colour. I would highly recommend the iPad Air 4 and although I really only use my iPad for browsing the internet, email communication and watching TV/movies but I’m sure the iPad has huge capacity to do a multitude of things I will never use it for.
