Kelly Dy Santini agreed, I’m in love with this tablet. I thought I wouldn’t like it as much since it’s so much smaller but I was dead wrong. I learned that I much prefer small tablets over big ones
Sold my 4 and bought the 5. No regrets. Instantly noticed the speed difference and I had that original 16gb so the storage increase is great too. Worth the upgrade in my opinion.
Nice video, one thing I dont understand us how your saying the ipad mimi 4 stutters. I have both the mini 4 and 5 and even though I notice the speed improvements on the mini 5 the mini 4 still isnt a slouch. Id be just as happy using the mini 4 if I couldn’t afford the 5th gen mini.
I work at a retail store that sells them. Gen 4 if you don't need pencil and the speed is sufficient for your needs. I use my iPad for basic casual games and for my drone. Works great for that. Currently, while supplies last Gen 4 has 128Gb and goes for $400 and probably less if you look for sales. Gen 5 is great for pencil, processor, and other enhancements but only starts at 64Gb. If you want more memory, it jumps to 256G ($550). At that price point get the new iPad Air ($500/64G) or ($650/256G). Why they no longer offer a 128Gb version is beyond me. Please understand that the OS uses about 13Gb of that storage leaving you with only 3/4's of your memory for apps, pics, vids, etc. if you only get 64Gb.
iPad mini 4 has better build quality. The iPad mini 5 front glass bends and wobbles effectively and it's easy to touch the LCD like iPad Pro 2018. It also sounds very hollow, so the gap between the LCD and the glass is thicker or the glass has gotten thinner. It's so bad that it feels like a Android tablet so get a tough ass screen protector.
My iPad mini 4 was getting very slow so I bought an iPad Mini 5 today, even though I have an iPad Pro 2. The iPad Mini is great for viewing textbooks when I’m using my iPad Pro for note taking at university and its also much more portable so it’s easier to carry around (I can fit it in most of my jacket pockets).
@@ericww32 no your thumbs wouldn't cover the screen up because the screen size increase thus it wouldn't make a big difference and it is your thumbs on the screen unless your thumbs are huge it like holding a phone
Даниил Кириллов so its like a little bit closer to iphone 6s a9 chipset then ipad mini 5 is a huge jump because of having the newest powerful apple a12 bionic chipset
Almost thought about saving $100 on the 4 but I'll definitely get the 5. Might as well with that much better performance and also leaving the pencil open as an option.
Actually you can’t use an older Smart Cover perfectly fine. The magnets got repositioned. It now really wobbles around. But you can use a First or second gen Smart Case with it just fine. Even the microphone matches completely.
JustAnormalUser I ordered a lightweight cover from Amazon for £14. Slips into the clear back cover and has a front flip style cover that works to put the pad to sleep.
Ho Lee I’m not sure if you were talking about the iPad mini 5 but I think you are talking about the 2. I have the two and it’s what I’m typing it on and for now it is still getting proper updates, it isn’t that slow, the display is 1080p, and it works perfectly. I have had it for 6 years so I’m hoping to get a new one for my birthday though
Do you guys recommend changing the mini 4 to a 5? Is it worth it? I am in med school and would like to have an Apple Pencil on my iPad mini which I carry on my lab coat. That’s the only reason I have an apple mini. Thank you for the suggestions.
There are definetly MORE Design changes beside the microphone. Camera and volume buttons moved too. So the old cases wont work! I have it right in front of me. The Mini 4 Apple Silicone Case fits, but half the camera lens is covered and the + Volume Button stucks. Maybe some cases will fit. But not the Apples and Logitech ones.
xAmazingMusicx The volume control on the mini 5 has been moved about 1/16 of an inch to the left which interferes with volume up opening on my logi key pad - which was designed for the Mini 4. So I filed the opening a bit larger - problem solved.
Just a question, my old iPad mini is slow and I want a new one. My old one that I have now didn’t come with a data plan, which is exactly what I want. Can I not get a data plan on my new one?
Voolerie UA-cam Data plan is there ONLY if you buy a cellular version and you CHOOSE to use a data plan. If You buy the wifi version then you don’t have to have a data plan
How could someone with so many technical specs totally MISS the most BASIC (not to mention VISIBLE) hardware fact that both iPad minis have TWO microphone holes (not one) and BOTH were relocated on the 5th gen? I literally searched for video comparisons *specifically* for that information, yet you missed that one completely. Bravo.
They need an 'ipad mini pro'. That would be an awesome device. Make it slightly smaller, but give it a slightly larger screen. In someways I wonder why they didn't bring one out instead of this one.
Hey Dan 🇬🇧 👋 Great video, I'd much rather have the iPad Mini even over the iPad Pro that I had and recently sold. For me the Mini iPad is easier to carry around and does enough for what I need. I shall wait until 2020 when hopefully it'll be bezel less, and a better screen. Thanks as always Dan! 👍🏻 🙏 ♥️ 😉
Not sure why you think the "Design" is so GOD AWFUL due to not changing since 2012' (as if this is somehow an eternity..) regardless of the length of time passed the "Design" of the thing doesn't tend to offend me at all. It looks perfectly practical at it's just $400 for a ton of processing power, etc. So being so upset about the design seems silly, very silly.
I suppose with the mini 5 using the old design it allows people who like bezels to have a powerful tablet before they change the model up for everyone else. I guess the mini 6 will come with an updated design.
I got the mini 4 128gb brand new on 2018 Black Friday deals for $250 at BestBuy and it is a great little ipad. I just ordered the mini 5 wifi+Cellular 128GB for $400 deal at Apple website. I actually like the design of the Ipad mini, you have enough space to hold it when watching videos/movies. Bezeless displays look beautiful but they are annoying af.
@Sonic the Artist you live in a trailer an you probably have a iPad mini 2 that’s why your mad I have the I pad mini 4 128 go and I’m not complaining it holds up like a brand new ipad
The large variety of productivity/entertainment uses for the Mini demonstrates how versatile it can be for so many people. Master of Nun - But Good at a lot of stuff - Fine by me!!!

After watching this very in-depth comparison of the iPad Mini 4 vs iPad Mini 5, I gotta say I actually don't mind watching Andrew Garfield giving us tech reviews from today onwards.
Thanks for the excellent review. I really enjoy your channel. I for one, am glad that this iPad mini is physically nearly identical to the mini 4. I purchased the 256gb version immediately when it came out and am very impressed with its performance. I also have a 2017 iPad pro 9.7, and I have found that I enjoy using my mini more, to the point that I’ll probably sell my iPad pro 9.7.
I too have both but I love both and will be keeping both. The larger screen is nicer for videos and the speakers are amazing. Also the 9.7 is still very fast, but I know that in the future if I update it it will get slower or I’ll have to leave it on ios 12 and miss new features (will probably choose the second option). By the way the 9.7 is from 2016 ;-)
Off top, I think it speaks greatness to how good the ipad mini 4 must be for Apple to take 4 years before creating a newer one. They couldn't come up with anything substantial enough to justify the price or upgrade with minor tweaks over the course of 4 years. Wow !
I have the 4 but find it doesn't get bright enough for me now at 73. I really want the 5 but I'll probably wait in hopes that they'll redesign it soon.
My parents ordered the mini 5 for me, as an upgrade from the mini 2. I'm so excited as I can finally play geometry dash because it's way too laggy on my old ipad.

I’m loving the iPad mini 5! It’s amazing how fast and capable this iPad is.
Thomas Abbott do your children like it?
Yeah me too I got one
I find it weird that you complemented the loss of the chamfered edges. This was a cost cutter for Apple. Not a design choice.
I don't mind the bezels... where else do you put your thumbs?
The screen can tell where your hand are located so you won’t have accidental presses
