Is Your iPad Obsolete and Outdated?
In a technical sense, an obsolete device is one that the manufacturer no longer supports. Vintage iPads are not quite obsolete, but they don’t receive full support from Apple. Apple’s official definition of “vintage” is that they’ve been unavailable for sale for five to seven years.
The following models are no longer sold, but these devices remain within Apple’s service window for iPadOS updates:
An iPad out of the service window isn’t necessarily useless because it no longer receives iPadOS updates. An older tablet makes a great tableside companion in your living room, an effective e-book reader, or a light-duty device for reading mail or checking your favorite websites.
Still, the longer your iPad goes without updates from Apple, the more likely it is that security glitches could affect your tablet.
iPad Air (3rd generation)
Its case design is identical to the iPad Pro 10.5 inch; internal hardware includes an upgraded Apple A12 Bionic SoC, a 10.5-inch Retina Display, 3GB of LPDDR4X memory, and support for Bluetooth 5.0 and Apple Pencil (first generation). This iPad Air retains the Lightning port, keeps the headphone jack, and has a slightly larger battery of 30.2 watt-hours (up from 27.6 W·h), rated by Apple to provide the same “10 hours” of active use.
In September 2023, third-generation iPad Air was listed as one of the devices that can be updated to iPadOS 17. It was praised for its laminated screen, Smart Keyboard case capability, as well as a speedy SoC.
[7] In addition, while the current Pro models provide some support for HDR, the Air 3 does not. Some devices of this model, which were manufactured between March 2019 and October 2019, have issues where the screen may flicker or flash before permanently dying. [8][9][10][11][12] As a result of this Apple released a recall program which allows users to send in their device for replacement up to two years from the date of purchase.
Apple to Launch Two iPad Air and Two OLED iPad Pro Models Early Next Year
To boost falling iPad sales, Apple has a major refresh planned for the iPad lineup in early 2024, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The updated Magic Keyboards are said to have a sturdier frame made from aluminum, which will allow the iPad to more closely resemble a laptop. The new iPad Air and iPad Pro models and their accompanying accessories are expected to launch around the end of March, which is also when Apple plans to release iOS 17.4 and iPadOS 17.4.

Apple iPad Air 3rd Generation for sale
The 3rd generation iPad Air was designed to be a powerful and economical version of the popular tablet computer. Compared to the 2nd generation iPad Air, this version has a faster and more powerful processor. The resolution is also improved to 1668 by 2224, and the 3rd generation supports smart keyboards and the Apple pencil. The convenient 3rd generation Apple iPad Air is available in both Wi-Fi and cellular-capable models.
A used Apple iPad 3rd generation is a good way to save money, which you can then use to buy accessories for your new tablet.
Apple iPad Air 10.5-inch (3rd generation, 2019) : Apple iPad : Target
This portable tablet can do everything your Mac does while keeping up with your on-the-go routine, thanks to its brilliant performance and quality bionic chips. With the built-in front and back cameras, the iPad lets you shoot amazing photos and videos, scan documents and FaceTime your friends. Use the iPad as a notebook with an Apple Pencil, a great accessory for note-taking, drawing and more.
iPad Air 3
The iPad Air 3 is a mid-tier tablet for those who don’t want Face ID or spend too much. It runs iPadOS, meaning you get all the features and apps you’ve come to expect from an iPad.
However, the iPad Air 3 has an updated processing chip, the only area where it’s better than the 2017 pro-level tablet. Apple had previously used the iPad Air brand in 2013 and 2014, highlighting light-and-thin design advances the company had made in those years.
There is no ProMotion display, which means you are not getting the automatically-adjustable 120Hz refresh rate that recent iPad Pros have. Games run great at 60fps with no perceived lag, as AppleInsider tested “Fortnite” on the hardware. The Apple Smart Keyboard is what Appleinsider recommends for the iPad Air, along with these accessories. The Smart Keyboard offers a good typing experience on the iPad Air 3
In early 2020, Logitech released an iPad Air 4 keyboard accessory with a built-in trackpad.
The rear camera is 8MP and capable of capturing Live Photos in wide color, though it’s limited to 1080p video recording. This 2019 model was the last iPad Air with a Touch ID Home Button and classic design. Titles like ‘Fortnite’ played smooth, even at a quicker 60 FPS with seldom errant dropped frames.
We’re hoping this coming WWDC we’ll see something unique from Apple with iOS 13 that can visually overhaul this experience. Unfortunately, the display doesn’t have Apple’s ProMotion technology, giving you a 120Hz refresh rate for a smoother experience. Slower refresh rates mean eagle-eyed artists will notice it slightly jumpy while using the Apple Pencil. Those who are that serious will likely prefer the iPad Pro and the second-generation Apple Pencil instead, but there are no problems to be found here for note-taking and less demanding work.
The keyboard is a bit stiff and mushy at the same time, but once you use it long enough, it’ll start to wear down and soften up to a point where every keystroke feels excellent. This exists because it gives Apple that happy medium option between the low-end iPad to the high-end Pro models, and that’s why it’s here.
The new iPad Air gives you an enormous 10.5-inch display that is bright and color accurate. It supports Apple Pencil, Smart Keyboard, and it has the same fast A12 Bionic processor from its $1000 smartphone, and you’re getting all of that for just $499, the same price that the original iPad shipped for nine years ago, and that is pretty impressive. Again, this is a case where the AppleInsider audience varies significantly from the target market — no ProMotionhe need for the original Apple is a potential issue, as is t Pencil, versus the new one on the more recent iPad Pro line. But, even all that considered, overall, the iPad Air 3 is a solid 4/5, with it a bit higher for most of the iPad-using public and a hair lower for the ‘prosumer’ market.
