Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “My Massive iPad Mini 2021 Unboxing!”.
What’S going on guys your average consumer and today’s ipad day, as you can tell from your sub box, you’re, probably seeing a bunch of new ipad videos and we’ve got a massive ipad, unboxing video for you guys with all of the new ipad gear, and i think We’Ll start off with the main ipad first, so apple recently updated the standard ipad. This is the one that you can get starting at 329 bucks. So it’s like one of their most affordable tablet, options uh, but they made a few changes to this one. Let’S do a quick, unboxing and talk about it. So here it is noise, [ Applause ].
So this is very much like the original ipad design. You know, we’ve still got the home button down here at the bottom. You’Ve got the bigger bezels at the top and bottom. This is, like you know the more old school traditional ipad design before we started seeing them change it up with like the pro models.
So i powered this on really quickly and you’re, probably wondering okay. What did apple do to change this guy? Well, they’ve updated it with the new a13 bionic processor. So it’s going to have more power so that it’s actually 80 percent more powerful than the previous version, and they also added a 12 megapixel ultra wide camera up front now. Why is that important? Well, that’s because we’ve been seeing center stage come to the new ipads, and it is now officially here as well, so with the ultra wide angle, lens you’re gon na be able to move around in a shot.
If you’re on, like a video chat and it’ll, be able to track, you it’ll crop down the video track, you no matter where you’re going kind of keep you in the center of the stage. That’S the name uh, but yeah. That’S pretty much the idea behind it. Um, honestly, they didn’t do too much with this, but i think we’ve also got some other stuff in here as well. We even go through the rest of the box, i’ll jump right into the ipad jay you’re supposed to that’s all right. That’S what we’re doing today! That’S just that’s just how it is, but we also have the charging brick. The ipads do still get the charging bricks and we also get a usbc to lightning cable. Oh yeah, this thing is still running off of the lightning cable, oh and you, of course, get paperwork. There’S got to be stickers in here somewhere right now, no there’s got to be a stick.
There we go there, we go, but that’s pretty much. What’S new for the ipad, you know still rocking that 10.2 inch display, so you’ve got a nice big screen. I still like this ipad, even though the bezels aren’t as clean as like, let’s say the ipad pro uh at 329 bucks. This is a solid option for someone who wants a tablet but doesn’t want to spend a fortune, but we’ve got some other stuff to go with it, so we’ve got the smart keyboard, so this is like a case. Slash keyboard now. You’Ve, probably not you’ve, seen this before you’ve seen the smart keyboard, you guys it’s got the keyboard. This, of course, attaches to the little magnets over here and then these connectors allow you to go ahead and use this as a keyboard, i’m so used to the magic keyboard i was looking.
I was already looking for my trackpad. It’S it’s! It’S crazy! Now the ipad that got the biggest update is actually the mini, so here we have it, you guys the brand new ipad mini now. I was extremely excited for this. Probably the thing i was most excited about throughout the entire keynote, so this is the mini, and now it comes in this new purple color.
What’S the official name for this one purple? Okay, so this is the new purple ipad mini and you guys can take a quick look at it and see that it follows the same design language as the pro model, so ipad pro the new ipad air. I believe also follows this look, and this is just an amazing look for the ipad, but it’s so much smaller. Now, like it’s on the mini, which is like you know, this palmable tablet, you can completely just use it with one, not with one hand, but you can hold it with one hand like you could palm it with no problem, see that’s the problem working out man, Your body starts aching in these random spots. So what does this new design mean? We’Ve got usbc here, so it’s charging with a usbc cable. Now it also has the speakers on both sides. You’Ve also got a power button that also works as touch id.
It’S a feature we saw come to the ipad air very, very happy with this. Oh interesting, all of the buttons are on one side. So do they assume people what so? This is a very interesting uh placement for the volume controls volume. Controls are up here, no buttons on the side at all on the side, you’ve got your antenna for the 5g and you’ve also got your sim card slot.
Interestingly enough, i’m of course going to give my full review on this, but i wonder if this is one of those things that you kind of got to deal with or is will it make sense as of right now, i feel like it’s a weird placement now, They’Ve also updated the camera up here as well. So now we also have 12 megapixels up front with an ultra wide lens, so that you can of course take advantage of that center stage. Feature good old touch id, so we went ahead and skipped the setup process, and here is the ipad mini running ipad, os 15 and you guys can see it has like the widgets still, even though it’s a smaller screen, it’s actually not too bad. I like the idea of like walking around with this checking out my notes or something i love this form factor. I was always a fan of the mini that form factor being able to take an ipad pretty much anywhere and not have it weigh you down at all has always been nice to me and the fact that this now has the a15 bionic processor the same processor. That’S inside the new iphones just makes this even more compelling. I’M actually really excited to put this thing through its paces. So if you guys are interested in seeing a full review, definitely make sure you’re subscribed and turn on the notifications. So you can know when that video drops, oh in the box again because we forgot to go in through here, but it’s pretty much the same stuff, but will we get purple stickers? That’S the question and white stickers.
Now we also have the ipad mini smartfolio case. So this is also in that purple color. So when you’re walking around you’re taking this thing around with you boom, but not only does the ipad mini support this folio case, but it can also support the new second generation apple pencil. Well, i guess it’s not a new, but it is the second generation, but it’s crazy to see just how tall the pencil is compared to the rest of the ipad. Now i think we also have a pencil for the 9th generation ipad over here now.
The 9th generation ipad uses the first generation apple pencil, so a lot of the same similarities to the way it’s been used before and you know remember the way the first gen works you plug it in in the lightning port, syncs up all that good stuff. Now we did talk about the ipad mini having an updated 12 megapixel camera up front, but it also has an updated 12 megapixel camera in the back. So if you wanted to take photos with this, you should be able to let’s actually jump into the camera right now. Oh man, this actually looks really good, not to say ipad.
Cameras are bad at all, but uh. This is actually solid. Coming from the mini.
It’S actually usable it’s not as bad as pulling up like the giant ipad to take a photo. This one is actually uh. Definitely it’s definitely very feasible.
Now, even though this has like the a15 bionic you’re, not gon na get any of the new cinematic mode features that you get on the iphone. It’S a very different camera system – it’s only one over here, so it’s only one lens. Now, with this being so tiny, i could imagine some really cool use cases for it uh.
It does have usb c now so, like let’s say, you’re a photographer you’re out there taking photos, and you want to get some quick edits in you can actually connect your camera right to it or maybe even like your storage device, you can connect it right to Here do some quick edits on the go if you’re looking for, like a really lightweight on-the-go kind of uh setup, i feel like this could definitely do the trick here, but we’ll talk all about that and everything else in the full review. This thing is so small. It’S crazy, but we’re gon na talk about it all in a full review. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this video if you did be the cool guy girl that gives this video a thumbs up, i’m gon na catch you guys in the next one. We have a ton of apple content to go over, so hopefully you enjoy it. So then it’s your average consumer peace, all right, carl you’re wearing purple, go ahead.
Just take it he’s lying .
