so
[Music]
i feel like apple has always thought of
the ipad mini like a low end tablet and
if you love small tablets there's always
been sacrifices sacrifices in
performance and display an accessory and
most importantly in design until this
year this is the new
ipad mini
ipad mini allows you to take it
everywhere you go it allows you to work
on the go game on the go check your
calendar on the go write something down
on the go check your budget on the go
edit photos on the go watch a movie on
the go and most importantly use it on
the go welcome to my review of the 2021
ipad mini
[Music]
let's talk about the display and the
design it's only 6.3 millimeters thin
and weighs about two-thirds of a pound
i'll save it again for the ones in the
back
two thirds of a pound this thing is
incredibly light and incredibly thin
when you unbox the ipad mini for the
first time the actual box won't be
wrapped with plastic and the actual ipad
mini is made out of 100 recycled
aluminum that's a good apple right there
now let's talk design it's finally got a
brand new absolute beautiful design
you've got an 8.3 inch edge to edge
display we got no face id on ipad mini
instead we'll get touch id on the power
button just like the ipad air we also
get the volume buttons on the top of the
ipads the display gets an edge to edge
ultra retina display with true tone and
a p3 color gamut which is a very
reliable display in terms of color
you're gonna get very reliable colors if
you love graphic designing on this thing
if you love illustrating or if you love
editing photos on the ipad the ipad mini
will do great because it's simply a very
reliable display just like what we get
on the ipad air and also what we get on
the ipad pro there's nothing more
satisfying to me than editing thumbnails
on my couch with an ipad mini with this
size or just the ability to take this
anywhere you want
and have a reliable display
this is good stuff
[Music]
i was never the one to write up a song
for just anyone i
i was always the one to find myself lost
in more conversations so
cause i've always been told that things
will influence we get a 12 megapixel
back camera on the ipad mini we don't
get an ultrawide camera like we do get
on the ipad pro which is actually
something that i use because on the ipad
like if you want to take a photo of like
a document you gotta kind of do like
this to take photo of the document with
the ultrawide camera you know you simply
snap it but i mean it's fine and now
with the ipad os 15 we get live text
which is a super easy way to grab text
from the real world crazy you simply
snap it grab text put it on your notes
all in this
super little tiny package now a feature
that surprised all of us at the apple
event was center stage we get a 12
megapixel front camera with center stage
if you don't know what center stage is
i don't know what you're doing with your
life it's an immersive way to do video
calls center stage keeps you always
perfectly in frame so if you move to the
right the camera will move here if i
move to the left the camera will move
here it's super useful whenever i'm
showing something to somebody i love it
i love center stage and i honestly can't
believe that it's here on the ipad mini
a15 bionic chip what a beast what a
beast of a chip to have on the ipad mini
this allows me to run apps that i would
usually run on the beast m1 12.9 inch
ipad pro
in this very small form factor apps like
affinity designer which is like a blown
up version of photoshop i actually don't
like photoshop i love using affinity
designer because affinity designer on
ipad on ipad pro on ipad mini is like a
full-on desktop experience and to have a
full-on desktop experience once again
and a package this small that fits in
your pocket is like mind-blowing adobe
capture i mean it does a bunch of stuff
but one of the things that i love about
this is that you can actually grab a
color palette directly from the camera
and using the great camera on the ipad
mini with the a15 bionic this allows you
to run these kind of apps which are
great if we're talking about
connectivity apple has added 5g to the
ipad mini and personally i'd recommend
for you to pick up the cellular model
since ipad mini is so portable you're
going to want to take it everywhere and
the ability to rely on cell either and
not having to worry about finding wi-fi
or sharing wi-fi from your iphone is
incredible i can't believe i'm saying
this but it's here usbc is finally here
on the ipad mini goodbye lightning
seriously goodbye i don't want you back
usb-c allows me to connect a massive
collection of accessories my camera is
usb-c so i can connect it directly to
the ipad my hard drive is usb-c so i can
access my files on the go without
needing an adapter or a dongle oh also
um before i forget all day battery life
something that i've been waiting apple
to do is apple pencil to support and
it's finally here you charge your apple
pencil by simply snapping it
magnetically to the side of your ipad
mini the apple pencil 2 is simply a
must-have for anybody that owns an ipad
mini the apple pencil 2 is perfect for
note-taking using notability for example
one thing that i wish the ipad mini had
was a smart connector for you to connect
a magic keyboard or a smart keyboard
from apple of course you can buy like
external you know keyboards out there
bluetooth keyboards but one of the
things that i love about my ipad air and
ipad pro is that i can simply connect
the keyboard on my ipad and simply start
typing i actually asked apple about this
and they said that there was no smart
connector because the keyboard would
simply be too small apple i know it'd be
small but just give me the option i want
to type in a small keyboard and i could
just simply you know have like a
keyboard tablet a small macbook
device that i could go everywhere i go
we don't get keyboards on ipad mini but
we do get the smartfolio the smartfolio
magnetically attaches to ipad mini
providing an elegant and back protection
it automatically wicks your ipad when
opened and it puts it back to sleep when
closed
[Applause]
so what are we missing out on when
buying the ipad mini what do i wish the
ipad mini had first of all no smart
connectors so no keyboards we won't get
on 120 hertz refresh rate like we do get
on the ipad pro now this is a big of a
deal in my opinion yes i wish the ipad
mini would have it it's fine seriously
fine but whenever you're scrolling on
the ipad pro it simply feels buttery
smooth so hopefully with the next
generation you will get that you won't
get an ultra right camera like we do get
on ipad pros which is specifically
useful when scanning documents so those
are the sacrifices now what are the
things that i don't like well there's
nothing really that i don't like except
the price it will cost you 499 dollars i
think it's it's a decent price so if you
do decide on purchasing apple pencil
plus ipad mini it will go for over 600
bucks and for 600 bucks you might as
well get the ipad air but once again if
you do design on picking up an ipad mini
it's because you truly love the form
factor you don't buy it because it's
cheaper than the ipad air you simply
pick it up because on how awesome having
a small ipad is if you're not a big fan
of small ipads this is not the ipad for
you but if you do love a small form
factor if you do love the mini
this is the ipad of your dreams
thanks for watching be happy because
life is good and don't forget to check
out my ipad mini unboxing where i
actually literally went to the desert
flew out an fpv drone and this is really
the best unboxing you'll ever watch on
youtube about the ipad i mean i'm just
saying
watch it click it now
[Music]
hello they've gone slow
and all creeping to my
snail show
