Oh yeah, waiting all day for this pro unboxing/review. I'm so glad you talked about the wall adapter, no other UA-camr that reviewed or unboxed it talked about it.
Just got a iPad mini retina wifi + cellular 32GB on a great deal from O2. Can't keep my hands off it. My iPhone 4s is sitting in the corner sulking and my laptop is in fear of the future.
Nice video mike, I upgraded my iPad 2 that I had for about 5 years to an iPad mini 4 Retina display for my birthday, it was a gift....and omg what a difference hahaha I love it!!! My iPad 2 was nice but I'll never go back to a non-retina display after this I know what people mean now, not sure how some people can't tell the difference but I noticed the difference right away between my iPad 2 and iPad mini 4 definitely. 🙂👍🏻
I’ve been wanting to get a label printer for my small business for the longest time and finally pulled the trigger. I’m glad I did ! This machine is great ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxw55tQTywUAAOsbrlwxONZULry77sFF1Q and the blue/green color matches the rest of the accents in my office. My favorite part is how small the footprint is. It’s less than 1/4 the size of my regular printer.Set up was fairly easy. Seller will email you a link with video instructions Which I found to be more helpful than the written instructions. I use a Mac and had no issues. They even included an adaptor for USB to USB-c which is great because I’m always losing mine! I had a few issues getting the labels to print properly and wasted quite a few sheets. You need to play around with the settings to get everything adjusted just right. If you have the wrong settings, it’ll crop off the edges or feed through blank labels. These aren’t issues with the machine though, just user error.
Ah! My first iPad! It came on 7.0.4... I still remember it when it still was the latest and greatest from late 2013 until late 2014... Ah... good times good Times
Had this delivered to me on Monday. This thing is a beast, and couldn't point out anything negative about it. I'll admit that i'm not a fan of iPhone's (had a horrible experience with the 5s), but the iPad is in a league of its own. iPad's are more expensive compared to 9/10 Android tablets on the market, but you're getting your moneys worth in the end and won't be disappointed.
wow this was actually a really informative video! i expected it to be fairly boring like the previous ipad review videos i'd watched before but i didn't even realize i ended up watching the entire 19 minute video. thanks! cute dogs btw, are they yorkies?
I was at Best Buy and compared the iPad mini and the iPad mini with retina display. Seriously to me, the iPad mini looks fantastic and is very speedy and I chose it over the iPad mini with retina display. It looked a little bit clearer but I couldn't justify spending the extra hundred dollars. I love my iPad mini and have used it constantly every day since I got it in December 2013. PS if I want A retina display, I'll go for the iPad Air. Retina display is something you want on a big screen.
The simple answer, IPad Mini = IPad Air. Why because the Mini is a good size but lacks screen quality, but the Air crashes at times. Performance is similar but not the same Air wins in overall performance and you can feel the difference. But again the Air will crash more than the Mini. The Air is a awesome experience , the mini too. But the Air will out of the blue just crash .
Jorge Valadas If you have both devices it becomes plainly clear which is better. If you don't have but had one or the other you'll feel the difference. But you gotta try it to believe it. I've owned both, my neighbor has the Air is a clear difference in performance and screen quality. Holla back.
If you have owned both, why would you even talk about your neighbor's Air? Either way, you still don't know what you are talking about and are probably lying.
Jorge Valadas I'm sorry your feeling aren't the same, but it's ok. Like I've said I've owned both, got rid of my Air for a more mobile Mini. (I had the mini first , then tried the Air) Now I'm not alone in my feeling about the performance difference. It's Been documented in many forums as videos on UA-cam as well. Lying ? I'm afraid not. If you can't feel the difference that's cool who said you were lying ? "Not knowing what I'm talking about" mistaken again. But if you feel compelled to say about me what you have no clue about then go ahead. I've had this conversation before and there are plenty of examples where the new Air clearly out performs the Mini. If you're a mini fan that's great I have one to.
Great review Mike! I've watched quite a few reviews of the iPad Mini with Retina in the past couple of days and yours is by far the best. I can't wait to get mine!
Really? I got A Nexus 7 ad? The iPad mini with retina display may be $180 more, but it is totally worth it for me in terms of quality, apps, and ease of use of OS, build quality, customer support, etc.
Well, you think wrongly. You can't compare diferent processors based only on their clock speeds. An i7 at 1.3ghz will always best a pentium 4 at 2.4 giz
My dad and I purchase off Walmart for $239.00, and I got my new iPad Mini that I got this for birthday. I like this feature, and it has iOS7. I tried to run this device and works very good.
Great review! And I have to agree on the form factor. In my opinion this is the best tablet that you can buy. Not too small (like 7 inches tablets) while not as big as the iPad Air while HAVING the same specs as the Air (while being 100$ cheaper)
No headphones! Come on Apple, don't cheap out, include some of your headphones with the mic. I'm going to buy the 128gb version of the mini. Going to be a replacement for my 4g touch. I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't come with apples headphones with mic, I need to replace the ones that came with my 3g touch. Guess I'm going to have to shell out another $200 for a really good set of headphones with a mic for facetime. :(
I would if I wanted the basic earphones, But since I have to actually go out and buy a set, I might as well spend the money and buy something good. lol
Lol, your dogs are awesome!! Another great review, waiting for my delivery of a 32gb white wifi version to compliment my Air :) First time I've ever owned two iPads, part of me thinks it's a waste of money, but part of me doesn't care!
Great review, besides two points. One, you compared a fresh iPad mini with an old, loaded mini. Two, you neglected the fact that the older mini did in fact respond quicker with Siri.
My school just has wifi only 16gb iPad 2's in black but we don't get one each, the teacher has to order them in advance for a lesson like with the laptops. 💻 Only PCs because all the Macs the students use are desktops 🖥
really like your unboxing and review there is no one in youtube that does unboxing and review like you do :))))))))))))))) really thanks a lot for this video :)))))))))))))
I'm probably getting the 16gb one because I only use it for my music, facebook, instagram ect... I'm also getting 200GB iCloud storage anyway so it shouldn't be a problem :)
kai downing iCloud is a useless thing, it's not permanent the 200 gb because you have to pay again and it's not reliable, if iCloud die, all your data on it die. Just get the standard 5gb and get an external hard drive that you can actually control in your real life.
you haters stop being mean mean mean why u gotta be so mean seriously he is doing this because he likes giving you reviews about any product if he has to he doesn't do this for his health and he don't gotta do this you know that right so please stop wit the hateful comments please lay of the guy cut him some slak geeze lord geus cris uh yall discuss me got it
I like the iPad mini but I hate iOS it's so boring. I like now that it's exactly like the iPad air now so it's actually worth it. Awesome review as usual!
I was so confused on what to buy for Christmas but this video really helped I just have a question can I download my games from play store on this iPad?
Wait. IPad mini 2 kinda has a burst mode. If you set the time between pictures to the fastest setting, you will get something like burst mode. It will basically do almost the same thing
I was playing around with my sister's iPad 2 and I really like the iPad because of its large screen, and I'm planning on getting one sometime in late July or early august for games. The iPhone 5s is amazing for games but the screen size is a killer. I'm trying to decide if I want the 4th generation iPad or the iPad mini with Retina display.. Screen size seems to be the only real difference.
Man, I would buy mine 2 weeks before this one came out. -__- Do you guys think that I can return it still? I got it from Target and it's literally brand new, other than fingerprints. Help please?!
Finally bought it. Honestly, it's an awesome device. Granted, it's my first Apple product though I occasionally mess around with my sister's iPad Mini 1 just wanting to know the feel of it. I do own a pretty dated Samsung galaxy tab 2 7.1, which is also my phone as of now, I love them both. Though I got to say, I'm lovin' the App Store. It's relatively easier for developers to make apps for iPhones/iPads given the number of iPhones/iPads out there in relative to HUGE arrays of Samsung Android devices that developers need to cater for. So basically Apple has the advantage of Apps optimisation.
Great review Michael, as usual! Keep up the great work. Review the Asus Transformer Infinity TF701t. Please. Also, do the collab with tldr for the console reviews.
Best review I seen so far regarding iPad mini 2 great job :) ... I am deciding on the color to get, so I want to ask that if its very easy to scratch the back with normal use? I do take care of my devices but I never used apple products before... should i go with white or black?
this guy has the best job ever. he gets to peel the plastic cover off phones everyday.
Ikrr I'm over here like give me one
Ikr, I love pealing plastic.
Me too Ryan Kist. I also love peeling plastic! That makes whooshing sound!
Ryan Kist pealing plastic is so satisfying
Ryan Kist Hi
Oh yeah, waiting all day for this pro unboxing/review.
I'm so glad you talked about the wall adapter, no other UA-camr that reviewed or unboxed it talked about it.
Detroitborg is the best unboxing UA-camr
Yesss

Yea
i know right 😎
Yeah! I know right! He is the best Unboxing UA-camr!
Almost 6 years later and I still have mine, watching this video on it right now.
Just got a iPad mini retina wifi + cellular 32GB on a great deal from O2. Can't keep my hands off it. My iPhone 4s is sitting in the corner sulking and my laptop is in fear of the future.
Damn only 32GB?
I remember when this iPad was called iPad mini with retna display
Nice video mike, I upgraded my iPad 2 that I had for about 5 years to an iPad mini 4 Retina display for my birthday, it was a gift....and omg what a difference hahaha I love it!!!

Detroid BORG ,I love your review of the 2nd gen iPad mini ,and now since its 300 dollars its an awesome tablet, even after a year after release

I'll admit that i'm not a fan of iPhone's (had a horrible experience with the 5s), but the iPad is in a league of its own. iPad's are more expensive compared to 9/10 Android tablets on the market, but you're getting your moneys worth in the end and won't be disappointed.
Yeah this is one of the best iPad.
You’re damn right. I bought the mini 2 in 2015, and it worked all the way till 2021 when the screen got cracked entirely
Because of this review, I went ahead and got a mini 32Gig w/ Retina and brown leather case. Thanks for great review. Looking forward to more review.
wow this was actually a really informative video! i expected it to be fairly boring like the previous ipad review videos i'd watched before but i didn't even realize i ended up watching the entire 19 minute video. thanks! cute dogs btw, are they yorkies?

You do not know what you are talking about. You can't pereceive life fast enough to notice a 0.1ghz diference in overall processing power.
Jorge Valadas

now i see the different between retina and none retina thats amazing
It's a big difference, it's fantastic.
my computer is so fuckin gay 1.3 ghz and my laptop is 1.8 ghz LOL I THINK THIS IPAD BEATS MY LEPTEP
Same
Well, you think wrongly. You can't compare diferent processors based only on their clock speeds. An i7 at 1.3ghz will always best a pentium 4 at 2.4 giz
***** Fuck you
My dad and I purchase off Walmart for $239.00, and I got my new iPad Mini that I got this for birthday. I like this feature, and it has iOS7. I tried to run this device and works very good.
RIP headphone jack i miss you
I'm getting it on May 24 but your video is the best video iv seen i watch this every day
Slightly heavier? Is that 3/4 of a pound too much for you? Might I suggest a gym membership.
LOOOOOOOOOOL!!
Roasted
JesseTech 2017 yep
He's just trying to tell you that its slightly heavier. He's not saying its to heavy for him
Great review! And I have to agree on the form factor. In my opinion this is the best tablet that you can buy. Not too small (like 7 inches tablets) while not as big as the iPad Air while HAVING the same specs as the Air (while being 100$ cheaper)
nexus 7 is the best 7 inch tablet
Quagmicah I'll have to agree with you on that one though.
No headphones! Come on Apple, don't cheap out, include some of your headphones with the mic. I'm going to buy the 128gb version of the mini. Going to be a replacement for my 4g touch. I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't come with apples headphones with mic, I need to replace the ones that came with my 3g touch.
Guess I'm going to have to shell out another $200 for a really good set of headphones with a mic for facetime. :(
I would but if I'm going to have to pay extra for a set of headphones that should have come with a $800-$900 device, I'm not going to cheap out.
Buy the Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic for only $29.
I would if I wanted the basic earphones, But since I have to actually go out and buy a set, I might as well spend the money and buy something good. lol
Prence ummmmmmm the apple earpods are good. in my opinon, they are very high quality
Prence They are really good actually
The iPad Mini with Retina Display is cool
Lol, your dogs are awesome!! Another great review, waiting for my delivery of a 32gb white wifi version to compliment my Air :) First time I've ever owned two iPads, part of me thinks it's a waste of money, but part of me doesn't care!
mine will arrive tomorrow! space grey 64gb! cant wait! so excited lols
what do you do with all these gadgets after you do the reviews, you can't possibly use them all?
This man says "Crack it open" at an alarming frequency.
Puppies!!!
LOL, did I deliver or what?
SHEX!!!
+DetroitBORG I watched this vid with an iPad mini 2
+DetroitBORG I'm watching this on space gray iPad mini with retina display
+Vinnie Yes I'm watching this on my space grey iPad mini 2 with Retina display and 32gb alongside a black smart case.
wow dat benchmark difference, definitely going for retina display :) thanks for the awesome review
Watching this on my new iPad mini retina :)
Dude, return it and wait. New iPads are coming in october with new features. I am guessing you don't know the product cycle.
il past the i just wanted a new ipad :)
sour simon You'll be fine since the rMini has A7 so it's future-proof :D
***** Dude don't get one today just wait a few weeks and get the new one
***** Same! I'm waiting too but there's rumors of no mini 3 because the stupid 6 Plus :(
Wow, You mention EVERYTHING! I always come to you if i have to make a decision! Im watching this (hoping to win the ipad mini with retina display)
this was an awesome review
Great review, besides two points. One, you compared a fresh iPad mini with an old, loaded mini. Two, you neglected the fact that the older mini did in fact respond quicker with Siri.
Just watching this video in 2024 😅
The New Retina Display iPad Mini Looks Like a Great Upgrade over the Original iPad Mini.
My sister still has a iPad mini original on iOS 7.0.4.
I would upgrade to iOS 10
Okay got ya.hope your satisfied wth it
I have an iPad mini original in iOS 8
I have an original iPad mini in ios 6
Guess what, I have an iPad mini on IOS 6.1.3
I just got myself one with retina!!! I got it at target!
Watching this on my iPad mini 2 :)
Same :)
@@fahdelsayed2882 it is good but maybe go for the iPad mini 4 or 5 those are newer and better :)
I found it to be heavier and more "full" than the regular mini. Kinda like the difference in weight between the iPad 2 vs 3. I prefer my iPad Air.
I like the mini more then the air. Checked them out at the local store. Mini is more comfortable then the Air.
Same here! i bought an iPad Mini, my dad has the Air, sincerly, im according with you and i prefer mine :D
Yeah you are right Elijah
and both are great for gaming
Yeah both are the best
I like my 2017 9.7
the space gray colour is way much better than the black slate one!
Love your hands O.O
ohhhh ur in love :-)

Great review the ipad mini looks fantastic
7 days till school gives me one
Lucky! Do you get to keep it?
My school just has wifi only 16gb iPad 2's in black but we don't get one each, the teacher has to order them in advance for a lesson like with the laptops. 💻 Only PCs because all the Macs the students use are desktops 🖥
+PenguinToastGaming yes and it's totally free
WOW not fair!
I still use my iPad mini 2 everyday. I’m glad it’s getting the latest iOS 12 update.
I'm getting this iPad in space grey for Christmas! I can't wait!!
+brandon sbircaknedlosn Me too! :D
I'm getting the white!!
Mini, me too.
+Freddie MacGregor Im getting the white for my b day
im getting this for Christmas! :3 cant wait!!
ipad mini with retina should have the same geekbench score as ipad air because there the same but diffrent size
Apple iPad Air comes with a "A7X" processor... i don't know why apple dont say that... its good to marketing.
no,Actually the screen on thsi is way better aswell as alot more
***** Its A7 Man
Dulkith Pitigalage on iPad Air is a different A7 :)
A7 X Dosent make much of a difference
Watching this on my new iPad mini ^.^ it's the retina display one in space grey
i just bought this tablet will it last 3-4 years? i planned on keeping this for a long time
Yes. If you take care of it. I have my iPad 3 for 3years and it has no problems
I've had my iPad 2 since 2011. So your iPad should last for quite a while, if you care for it.
K thanks for telling me both of u so far it's been a great tablet
Ya
really like your unboxing and review there is no one in youtube that does unboxing and review like you do :))))))))))))))) really thanks a lot for this video :)))))))))))))

Your videos are amazing! Im a big fan. You make me to come to youtube more than I used to LOl
Watching in my new iPad mini 2
Same
Excellent, excellent review. Thank you so much for making this. It helped me a lot.
I'm getting this for Christmas can't wait to Thursday!!!!
ME 2!
kai downing how many gb you getting I'm getting the 32gb
I'm probably getting the 16gb one because I only use it for my music, facebook, instagram ect... I'm also getting 200GB iCloud storage anyway so it shouldn't be a problem :)
kai downing wow that's great
kai downing iCloud is a useless thing, it's not permanent the 200 gb because you have to pay again and it's not reliable, if iCloud die, all your data on it die. Just get the standard 5gb and get an external hard drive that you can actually control in your real life.
Great review Michael, as usual! Keep up the great work. Review the Asus Transformer Infinity TF701t. Please.
Would it be wrong if i said i looked in my christmas bag and got an iPad mini??
Yes😱😱😱
Yep :D
:D
*****
I'm probably going to buy one with my own money!!!! I'm so happy!!!
awesomeAJtv kewl
you haters stop being mean mean mean why u gotta be so mean seriously he is doing this because he likes giving you reviews about any product if he has to he doesn't do this for his health and he don't gotta do this you know that right so please stop wit the hateful comments please lay of the guy cut him some slak geeze lord geus cris uh yall discuss me got it
Americans! It is aluminium not aluminum
I prefer fewer syllables, more efficient :)
:D
Aluminum it corrects it to aluminum
Noah
patrik streng I live in England, so I say ah-loo-min-yum (aluminium) rather than ah-loo-min-em (aluminum). I have an iPad Mini 1 and 4.
Once again, great review!
I like the iPad mini but I hate iOS it's so boring. I like now that it's exactly like the iPad air now so it's actually worth it. Awesome review as usual!
I was so confused on what to buy for Christmas but this video really helped I just have a question can I download my games from play store on this iPad?
do you think this would be a good secondary iPad for 2017 and using it for school things
Thanks for the unboxing
Best video ever, excellent! thank you so much!
Great video, thanks Mike!
that fuzziness when he's recording outside near that fluffy beige plant, is that the mini or just the YT vid?
Wait. IPad mini 2 kinda has a burst mode. If you set the time between pictures to the fastest setting, you will get something like burst mode. It will basically do almost the same thing
I prefer the iPad Mini with Retina Display over iPad Air, because the specs are similar but the former's size is more compact!
great video mike
I was playing around with my sister's iPad 2 and I really like the iPad because of its large screen, and I'm planning on getting one sometime in late July or early august for games.

Hey Mike!, would you please do a iPad Air vs iPad Mini with Retina Display video?
Great video like usual thanks
Nice review.
I like the back of the space grey but prefer the white front! Dilemma, which colour!!
Mike, could we have please have your old intro back just for the next video, please?! :)
Man, I would buy mine 2 weeks before this one came out. -__-
Do you guys think that I can return it still? I got it from Target and it's literally brand new, other than fingerprints. Help please?!
Good job man. Thanks
I'm not upgrading I'm fine with my regular mini for now.
i REALLY likes you videos
good review
Finally bought it.
Honestly, it's an awesome device. Granted, it's my first Apple product though I occasionally mess around with my sister's iPad Mini 1 just wanting to know the feel of it. I do own a pretty dated Samsung galaxy tab 2 7.1, which is also my phone as of now, I love them both.

OMG those dogs! So cute! :P
Great review Michael, as usual! Keep up the great work. Review the Asus Transformer Infinity TF701t. Please. Also, do the collab with tldr for the console reviews.
Best review I seen so far regarding iPad mini 2 great job :) ... I am deciding on the color to get, so I want to ask that if its very easy to scratch the back with normal use? I do take care of my devices but I never used apple products before... should i go with white or black?
White will hide scratches but you should get a smart cover compatible case that can show the design but protect from scratches.
crunchyroll on this new iPad mini would be awesome
Do you think it worths to buy the one with retina display? The thing is that it is 100$ more expensive. What do you think?
iPad Mini Giveaway!!! Yayyy
I been wanting to buy this tablet for a while now, but I was wondering how is the battery life like
y did ur voice get quieter when you pulled the retina ipad mini out of its sleeve
