The Amazing iPad Air 13in

Jonesy . 11 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

If you don’t want to pay too much for an iPad, this is the one. Ever since I got this iPad. It hasn’t left my side from the graphics to how quick it responds. The size alone is massive. Love everything about it. I went from an iPad 11 pro to this and I will never go back. Recommend this product to anyone looking to upgrade from there old iPad.

iPad Air 13" Best Buy for 2025

Project Manager . 1 month ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

13" iPad is a game changer. I use it for work, studying, and tutoring. It is also great use for any entrepreneur venture when you don't want to carry around a laptop. I don't leave the house without it.

Do NOT buy From Verizon directly

Joey Book . 1 month ago

Verizon is the worst place to purchase an iPad.

ipad good but 5G is down grade

jdKg . 1 month ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Functions well for You Tub or Vidioes except you would think it would get better reception than your phone, honestly you would think it would perform better than our old 9th gen that is still going strong. Thinking about canceling the internet service on tablet. I keep having to use my phone hot spot to make it work. The same for my ipad 11. We do not have other internet so it stinks.

Not an iPad Pro, but that's OK.

SonicUnleashed1 . 1 month ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This iPad is not quite as good as the iPad Pro 13", but it is much more affordable. Having most of the features that I wanted in an iPad, I chose the iPad Air over the iPad Pro.
