The Apple iPad Air (4th generation), announced September 15 and released October 23, 2020, was a ground-up redesign that brought the iPad Pro's modern look to the Air line. It introduced a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display with slim flat-edge styling, moved Touch ID into the top button (no more Home button), switched to USB-C — a first for the Air — and dropped the headphone jack. Powered by the A14 Bionic chip and supporting the 2nd-generation Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard, it came in Silver, Space Gray, Rose Gold, Green, and Sky Blue. Because storage and connectivity are the two factors that move its resale price, select your configuration using the tool above to view an instant cash offer for your exact device.

Identify your exact iPad Air 4

The iPad Air 4 came in a single 10.9-inch size, so the model number on the back tells you which connectivity version you have. Open Settings > General > About > Model Number and tap once to reveal the A-number, or read the small text near the bottom of the rear casing:

Wi-Fi

  • Model A2316
  • Solid aluminum back, no SIM tray, no GPS

Wi-Fi + Cellular

  • Model A2324 (US/CA), A2072 (Global), or A2325 (China)
  • Adds nano-SIM tray, eSIM, GPS/GNSS, and a subtle antenna line at the top of the back

The quickest visual tell between Wi-Fi and Cellular: the Wi-Fi model has a clean aluminum back, while Cellular units have a faint antenna band along the top edge. Don't confuse the Air 4 with the look-alike 11-inch iPad Pro — the A-number is the reliable tell. Need help locating it? See our guide to finding your gadget's model.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm I have the iPad Air 4 and not another iPad?
Open Settings > General > About and check Model Name — it should read "iPad Air (4th generation)." Tap the Model Number once to reveal the A-number: A2316 for Wi-Fi, or A2324 / A2072 / A2325 for Wi-Fi + Cellular depending on region. The same number is printed in small text on the back. Two quick physical tells: the Air 4 has Touch ID in the top button (not a Home button like the Air 3) and a USB-C port (not Lightning). Because it shares its flat-edge chassis with the 11-inch iPad Pro, the A-number is the most reliable way to tell them apart. See our guide to finding your gadget's model for step-by-step help.
02 Can I trade in an iPad Air 4 with cracks or other issues?
Yes. We buy tablets in a range of conditions — flawless, lightly used, or with a cracked screen, a worn battery, bent corners, or power problems. Just set your cosmetic and functional condition accurately in the tool above and your offer will adjust to match. One important exception: a tablet still locked to an Apple ID or passcode (Activation Lock / Find My) has no resale value, so be sure to sign out and reset before shipping.
03 How do I wipe my iPad Air 4 before sending it in?
Back up to iCloud first, then go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Erase All Content and Settings. This signs you out of iCloud, turns off Find My, and removes Activation Lock so the device is ready for its next owner. On a cellular model, remember to remove your physical nano-SIM. Our team also runs certified data sanitation on every incoming device — you can read more on our data erasure protocols page, and our guide to wiping an iPad before selling walks through each step.
04 Which configuration raises my iPad Air 4 trade-in value the most?
With only two variables on this model, value comes down to storage and connectivity: a 256GB unit pays more than a 64GB one, and a Wi-Fi + Cellular model fetches more than Wi-Fi-only. A 256GB Cellular iPad Air 4 in flawless condition sits at the top of the range. Cosmetic and functional condition also play a meaningful role. For more on maximizing your payout, see our guide to selling a used iPad for maximum profit.
05 What is the turnaround process for my cash payout?
After you accept your offer, we email a free, fully insured shipping label. Once your iPad Air 4 arrives and our intake team finishes functional and cosmetic testing, payment is approved within two business days. We pay via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or ACH transfer, with a mailed paper check also available. Your offer stays valid for 30 days from checkout.
