No.

The 2013 iPad Air and iPad Mini 2 and 3 models can only be upgraded to iOS 12.x.x.

These iPads lack the necessary CPU power and only have 1 GB of RAM, which is NOT enough hardware power to run all of the new features of iPadOS 13.


Sorry.


If you need an iPad that can run the latest and greatest versions of iOS, 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.
