Apple publishes one trade-in figure for each iPad family, the most it pays for the newest model in the best condition. An older iPad Air 13-inch (M2) gets less, so the tool leaves Apple's figure out of the upgrade cost and uses local quotes.
Is it worth upgrading from the iPad Air 13-inch (M2) to the iPad Air 13-inch (M4)?
A new iPad Air 13-inch (M4) 128GB Wi-Fi costs £949 in the United Kingdom. After selling an iPad Air 13-inch (M2) at the best local quote, it costs £636 (5 Oct 2026). Our default verdict: KEEP IT.
Your iPad Air 13-inch (M2) is fine. You want a new iPad. You don't need one.
- At 2 years old, it is still well inside Apple's update window.
What the iPad Air 13-inch (M4) adds
- The M4 chip, newer than your M2.
Your own result depends on storage, Wi-Fi or Cellular, condition and where you sell, so run the tool for your iPad.
If the battery is the problem, Apple's battery service costs far less than a new iPad.
