Your 2013 iPad Air 1 is at its maximum iOS version.

It is too old and its internal hardware ( CPU and RAM ) are not sufficient enough to run the massive quantity of new features introduced in iPadOS 13.


If you need an iPad that can run the latest and greatest versions of iOS, with the latest and greatest features, as well as, the most current apps available, then, you need to purchase a new iPad from Apple or a discounted, refurbished iPad from Apple’s Refurbished & Clearance section of Apple’s Website or a new or refurbished iPad from an Apple authorised, third party retail or online reseller OR other trusted sources for new or used Apple products.



Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
