We don't currently buy the original iPad Air. It was released in 2013, and Apple no longer supports it with software updates. If you have a newer model, we can give you a price straight away, with free postage and payment the same day we test it.
Is mine really the original iPad Air?
Go to Settings > General > About to see the model name. If your iPad won't turn on, check the model number printed on the back (it starts with A) and search for it on Apple's website. Many people find they have a newer model than they thought.
Which models do we buy?
See every iPad Air we buy, with live prices, on our iPad Air page, or read our iPad Air guide.
What can I do with my original iPad Air?
You can keep it as a simple screen for video or recipes, give it to someone who needs one, or take it to an electrical recycling point. Before it leaves your hands, sign out of your Apple Account, turn off Find My and erase it. Our reset guide shows you how.
Before you send it
- Turn off Find My and sign out of your Apple Account.
- Back up, then erase all content and settings. See how.
- Remove your SIM or eSIM.
- Pack it well. Packing tips.
