- Hey guys, it's Justine, and today,
we are unboxing all four of the brand new colors
of the iPad Mini.
I am so excited to check these all out.
Not only do I love the new colors,
but this iPad mini has been completely redesigned.
Also, bonus!
This is the other iPad
that they announced at the Apple event,
so we're also going to unbox this and check it out.
But there will be a separate video
featuring this one entirely.
The new iPad mini comes in four colors.
We have the purple, starlight, space gray, and pink.
All right, let's open up the pink one first,
because obviously pink is my favorite color.
(chill music)
Wow. Look at this!
You look so nice!
The pink this year is a very light pink.
Like if I didn't know that this was pink,
I might not actually know that it was pink.
So this is the iPad air in the...
I guess, was it rose gold?
Isn't even pink either,
it's more of like a peachy kind of color.
Let's see what else is in here.
Look at this little iPad mini document!
Nice document, very nice document.
So the iPad mini does come with a charging brick.
That's exciting! It's also USB-C.
I feel the reason they did this,
because there was a really good chance
that people who are getting this iPad mini
may not have one of these USB-C bricks.
And it has a USB-C to USB-C cable! Do you know why?
The iPad mini is now USB-C!
It also has touch ID! Like what?
This is what I wanted in an iPhone!
Hello?
Let's check out the purple one.
This is more of like a lavender kind of color,
at least that's what it looked like online.
I hope that it matches my shirt!
(gasp)
Okay, it doesn't really match my shirt,
it's more of like a bluish purple,
whereas this is kind of like a lavender.
This is going to look really good
with the purple case that I have over here.
I do also have some accessories.
And another exciting thing is the iPad mini
now supports the Apple Pencil generation 2.
So you will be able to use
the newest version of the Apple Pencil.
Which is one of my favorite things,
not only for using it for the iPad,
but it also makes a really great way to tie up my hair.
Compare it to the pink.
Oh, these colors look so good together!
Onto the next one!
It's also great because these now support 5G.
So if you get a 5G SIM card and you get the cellular version
you'll be able to basically have internet anywhere!
So this will kind of be like a phone, a big phone.
(chill music)
Okay, this one looks really nice too.
They all look really good!
Graphite is unboxed, one more to go.
This is the color that I'm kind of excited to see,
because this is a new one that they announced
called Starlight.
So, let's take a look!
(chill music)
Oh, look at this!
So it might be hard to tell on camera, it's silver,
but it does have like a slight little hue of gold.
I really like this!
(chill music)
And here they are, here's all four colors.
I don't really know if I can pick a favorite.
As much as I love the pink,
think I'm gonna to go with the purple.
I think that's going to be our review unit.
And then we have the ninth-gen iPad that they announced,
and this is the most affordable iPad
that you can get on the market.
It does still have the old design,
but it has been updated and refreshed.
I do just kind of want to show it to you,
just so you guys can see the other options out there.
(chill music)
So here it is!
It pretty much just looks like one of the older iPads.
It does still have touch ID and it looks just like an iPad.
I will be doing a follow-up video on this one.
So be sure to subscribe, hit the bell,
so you'll be notified when that goes live!
We also have some of the iPad mini Smart Folios.
We have them in three different colors.
Electric orange, dark cherry, and English lavender.
Now this is pretty, I like this a lot!
It is kind of almost the same exact color as this,
but it looks different because this is so shiny.
It's so cute.
It's so cute, look at this!
Oh, I love it!
Oh, this dark cherry actually looks really good too.
This is going to be a tough choice
on which one I want to put on the purple for the review.
I feel like this dark cherry
actually looks great on this pink.
Dark cherry, I'm a big fan.
And last we have our electric orange!
This is pretty aggressive.
Wow! Let's put that on graphite, shall we?
These look great, I'm so excited about the iPad mini.
I feel like there is so much power
in this little tiny device.
So here it is, this is the all new iPad mini,
with 5G, four new colors, second-gen Apple Pencil support,
upgraded cameras, touch ID, USB-C, 40% faster CPU,
8.3-inch display, and all running on the new iPad OS 15.
(upbeat groovy music)
So the first thing that you're going to notice
about the new iPad mini, is this much larger display.
It's now edge-to-edge,
where the previous mini still had the touch ID on the bottom
This is pretty much game-changing,
as far as iPads are concerned,
because the iPad mini is now powerful enough
to be a real consideration when deciding which iPad you want
for doing more processor-intensive tasks.
This also has center stage, like the iPad pro,
with this new wide angle camera.
If you're doing FaceTime calls,
it will keep you in the center of focus.
Now I really loved when they added this in the new iPad pros
so I'm so excited that that's an option
that they have on here.
Do you see center stage? Do you see what I'm doing?
- Oh yeah! Look at that! Is that a lightsaber?
No, that's not a lightsaber.
- [Justine] No, that's actually not a lightsaber.
That's just- that's set decoration.
One thing that I really wish they would do
is move the camera up here to the top,
because for me, this is technically the top,
but for Apple I feel like this is what they consider the top
Because most of the time, I'm usually using my iPad
horizontally, like this.
And it makes for such a better eyeline if it's on the top.
Either way, with center stage,
at least that'll help keep you in the frame properly
when you're doing your FaceTime calls.
With FaceTime in the new iPad OS 15,
you'll be able to do share play.
So you could watch movies, listen to music,
you can share your screen,
and do so much more just over FaceTime together.
FaceTime links is also something new
in both iOS and iPad OS 15.
So this will let you invite your friends
using a web link to join a call,
no matter what device you're on.
Now, the camera on the back is also new.
It has a 12-megapixel sensor with focus pixels,
so you'll be able to get sharper and higher-quality shots.
Now, I would not say that this is a device to get
if you are really serious about taking mobile photos.
But with the new front and back camera,
it's a huge update from the last iPad mini.
This will shoot 4k videos.
But again, you are limited to that one wide-angle lens
for anything that you might be filming.
You can also now use the second-gen Apple Pencil,
which is very exciting
because I love the design of this pencil
so much more than the previous.
It has a matte finish,
and this edge will let you get a better grip of it,
and it can dock to your iPad
for immediate charging and connection.
You'll probably remember that last gen,
and how silly it was to charge with a lightning port,
sticking out of the side of your iPad.
I mean that's basically a sight
that no one could ever forget.
Drawing on the iPad always feels
like such a magical experience.
And I'm not an illustrator!
But I have definitely had such a fun time
messing around in procreate.
I'm so impressed with how many talented people
have created so many beautiful masterpieces
on these devices.
The one thing that I found myself using the Apple Pencil for
is creating quick notes.
Now on iPad OS, you'll be able to swipe up from the corner
to instantly create a quick note.
You can also add tags and mentions inside of notes now
and this is so great for making things even more searchable
through a tag browser.
It's so awesome now that everything in your camera roll
is automatically converted to text.
So you can interact with it and search.
I have been using this much on the iOS 15 beta on my phone
for copying phone numbers, and even searching for things
that I know that I took a photo of
and there was text in the scene.
Since this is now USB-C, you can plug in accessories,
and even charge through the port.
I mentioned it before, but I will say it again,
that I really thought that this was a precursor
to the iPhone this year having USB-C.
Maybe this means that we'll be seeing it next year
in iPhone 14, or maybe we won't even see a port at all!
It's really hard to say!
This does have Wi-Fi 6, along with 5G,
which is actually really exciting!
I know that everyone is always talking about 5G,
and for a lot of you guys,
you might not even have really good 5G coverage
in your area.
I do have 5G, but I do not have the ultra wideband,
which is so fast.
It's so fast that it's actually quicker for me
to get in the car, drive down the street
to where ultra wideband is,
upload the video, which will take like five seconds,
and drive back home.
That whole process is quicker than just uploading that video
if I were to just sit here and use my regular internet.
Anyway, there is two versions of this!
There is a Wi-Fi and a cellular.
So if you don't plan on getting a cellular plan for it,
you can just get the Wi-Fi.
I really love the new multitask menu,
so you could easily change how you want the layout to be.
There's now also a shelf for apps
that have various windows open
making it really easy to select which one you want.
Being able to add widgets to your iPad is also really cool!
There's a lot of different ones that you can choose from,
and of course you can customize the size
to fit the layout that you're going for.
There's a new Contact widget,
so you can use this easily stay in touch
with people that you chat with the most.
I also really liked that they have a Find My widget.
I have so many air tags on all of my items,
so I love that I can just quickly see
where all of my stuff is at.
I do love that the app library has now come to the iPad.
I've loved using this on my iPhone so much,
because I don't have to actually have the apps
on my home screen,
they can just be accessed from the library instead.
Another feature that I can't wait to try
is universal control.
Now they announced this back at WWDC,
and it's where you'll be able to bring your Mac, your iPad,
or even your MacBook next to each other,
and you'll be able to control all three
with the same keyboard and mouse.
That's going to be so awesome, and I can't wait to try it.
I am so excited for all of the new things
that were announced over the past year.
And now they're finally actually being deployed
with the new iPads and the iPhones.
I have a feeling there will be more Apple goodies
before the end of this year is over,
so, be sure to subscribe and hit the bell,
so you'll be notified when I get my hands on them!
Until then, you can me on Twitter, Instagram.
I'm doing weird stuff on TikTok.
I'll see you guys later. Bye!
(upbeat groovy closing music)
