I appreciate the kind words! I do hope to get a studio someday (or at the very least, make a studio in my apartment or home) when I move out, but unfortunately, I don't have that kind of space right now! I just have to do the best with what I've got!
iPad mini was my introductions to apple world... since then i have bought myself a iPhone 7 ,11, 15 , macbook pro , and ipad 10 now ... that mini has a sweet memory in my child and academia life... fun fact i still have that ipad mini it still works which blows my mind i little sister uses it as a kindle and the reason why i shifted to apple everything
I have the same iPad, and i love it, it's no longer working with almost all apps, but still, it's an incredible device. I wish there was continued support because the build quality was amazing. It's a shame that Apple limits the software.
I still have this device, stuck at 7.1 I think. I use it only as an ebook reader, can still read for 10+ hours, even after almost a decade since I bought it in 2013.
I think the software problem that you were getting on devices with the A5 chip like this iPad, iPhone 4s where they had too long software support for what the hardware was capable of running was the exact opposite of the software problem for older Samsung Galaxy flagships like the Galaxy S8 or S9. Their problem was that their software support was too short and you ended up with a phone that still had very good performing hardware on their last version of software, but the only problem was that you couldn't update the version of Android any farther even though the hardware technically could handle a much newer version of Android.
This was a hand me down from my dad back in 2015. I used it a lot until I got my first phone which was an Iphone 6s back in 2016, I gotta say the mini was like an Iphone to me
My sister does own an iPad Mini (1st Gen) in which I was able to use as well back when we were in College in exchange for my iPod Touch 5th Gen.. definitely an awesome Tablet back then.. Still works perfectly fine RN and using it sometimes for Spotify..
This was my first ipad. I'm on the M4 pro now, but I loved that mini so much. I did get mine with iOS 8.1 out the box, so did upgrade to the first gen air the next year
I absolutely wanted to, but it’s difficult when I don’t have the space to be able to take good b-roll, so I work with what I’ve got! :) Appreciate the compliments, and glad you enjoyed it!
@@MattsTech Well as long as you have a well-lit place to do so, that could work, it does not need to be perfect. Maybe you could make a bunch of B-Roll for different devices and just hold on to them till you need them for a video. I know channels like Talosive B-Roll and Random Alpha B-Roll have free-to-use B-Roll of tech and stuff, which is also an option. You are one of my fave UA-cam channels and I just want to see your content. get better. :)
You gave me a good punch in the belly with this video, I recently bought it for 100brl, it's useless, now I'm trying to reverse the mistake by selling it
Wrong from toe to head. I can play GTA Triology in this thing, Minecraft and a lot of other apps. Of course is not at 60 FPS in some games, but it's very usable if you're a bit patient.
I still remember having it back then, after some updates the ipad became so bad its unusable... Always crashes lag etc The only good thing it had is a yt with no ads (which i think is a gltich)
I have this iPad mini, and it is using 9.3.5 OS. I do not want to Jailbreak it, for fear of ruining it. Too bad I cannot transfer my data from my iPad Mini to an IPAD2.
Ultimately, it's up to you and what you'd want, the 9th generation and 10th generation iPads aren't too different spec-wise, and should get similar amounts of software support. If you want the newer iPad design, with a USB-C port and a keyboard case, then I'd get the 10th gen, and if not, then I'd do the 9th gen! They're both great options.
Still use mine that has a working version of Spotify to stream music to a Bluetooth speaker while I’m outside/in hot tub, but yeah pretty much every app stopped working in like 2018 and who knows when Spotify will stop allowing this version. Going to try and drag it to an iPod touch 5g to see if I could get it to work on it
@@ChantelleLouise UA-cam app was one of the first things to stop working, I had a version so old that there weren’t any mid video ads. Browser UA-cam still works if you can stomach how slow the iPad runs on 9.3.5
youtube actually used to still support yt probably until 2020 it’s kinda sad that i won’t have to watch on the app anymore and have to use the website instead
If you wanna miss half the video about me talking about the hardware and some of the qualms with iOS 8 and before, then you could call that point "the start." :)
they discontinued everything before it actually (due to them going to 64 bit, also means that oses earlier than ios 11 wont run roblox), which means you CAN run roblox but it will probably not run that great. If you’re getting an ipad mini 2 JUST for roblox, it isnt worth it, and usually even for other stuff it isnt worth it unless u get a really good deal
The device wont fuction well due to battery failure trust me from exoerience ive had ipads since i was 4 and i am 14 now my ipad mini 1 started having issues after i used cheap chargers for my ipad and the battery was slowly dieing so if your ipad is slow check the battery go to an expert before its too late... For me it was late i let it charge overnight woke up went up to it it was still functioning but sadly when i came from school i open my ipad last thing i saw was a big screen butn and it closed forever it was worth it for me it lastrd 8 years and i am searching to repair it to this day 😢
*_Great video. Very informative. Thank you very much for sharing. Instant sub. Unfortunately, I wanted to know if my main 3rd party apps would still run here namely: Facebook, Facebook Messenger, UA-cam and Netflix. If these 4 apps work on that in 2023, I'd be stunned._*
So if you have iOS 8 or later, you can make it into a stream deck with updeck app & software. Save yourself +$100. I am going to do that because my ipad in a 16GB. There's not even enough room to swing a dog's d**k on this thing. It's great you made this video tho. there's a lot of us that like using our devices until they breathe their last breath.
9:20 It’s literally just a document app. How on earth did it kill your screen recorder? 😂 9:39 I remember that. My air 1 on iOS 12 will sometimes do it because storage is a constant nightmare and constantly haunts my nightmares. I don’t agree in the slightest with the relative of mine who bought 16 gb. The lowest I can humanly live with is 32 gb. 11:00 helle friend how ya doing
I should just get that video done and over with, it wouldn’t even take that long to film, worst part is editing (and in my case narrating because of the sometimes astonishing amount of interruptions or distractions I face at home, yay).

Jailbreak development may be the key

that's rare!
@@Moon-ge8mc was it necessary to say that 3 times? Is it that rare? 😂
I'll clear 'em, I've had network issues before where it'll send the same message multiple times lol.
@@MattsTech oh. I know my iPad used to send messages twice but it hasn’t happened lately
Like you said it’s probably a network issue
@@MattsTech yup lol. my wifi sucks

Actually 32 bit apps can run on 64 bit devices as long as you have an ios version older than ios 11
This was a hand me down from my dad back in 2015. I used it a lot until I got my first phone which was an Iphone 6s back in 2016, I gotta say the mini was like an Iphone to me
It was to a lot of people, I’d say, and I was actually considering getting an iPad mini as my phone a while ago!
Maybe another time. :)
iOS 8 was pretty much just as slow as iOS 9 on the A5 devices. The last update that was good for the A5 devices was iOS 7.
I really prefer ios 8.4.1i downgrade yesterday my ipod 5 its really good than ios 9 apple really could stop in ios 8.4.1
My sister does own an iPad Mini (1st Gen) in which I was able to use as well back when we were in College in exchange for my iPod Touch 5th Gen.. definitely an awesome Tablet back then.. Still works perfectly fine RN and using it sometimes for Spotify..

I remember a lot of my friends had these when we were kids.
They were very common devices, for sure, and I remember seeing them a lot too!
@@MattsTechI had one!
Had this device and used it until late 2019 when it locked out randomly
Great videos as allways Matt, I would have perfered to see more B-Roll of the device in action but overall great content! :D
I absolutely wanted to, but it’s difficult when I don’t have the space to be able to take good b-roll, so I work with what I’ve got! :)

The regular ipad is already pretty small for me considering i have huge hands, my air 2 i can hold with a single hand like an ipad mini
You gave me a good punch in the belly with this video, I recently bought it for 100brl, it's useless, now I'm trying to reverse the mistake by selling it
Hey, if anything, you can jailbreak it and dual-boot other iOS versions on it for fun!
Wrong from toe to head.
I can play GTA Triology in this thing, Minecraft and a lot of other apps. Of course is not at 60 FPS in some games, but it's very usable if you're a bit patient.
Hey it’s the Bugfables guy
It is, indeed.
in summary: it's obsolete
Pretty much lol
I still remember having it back then, after some updates the ipad became so bad its unusable... Always crashes lag etc
The only good thing it had is a yt with no ads (which i think is a gltich)
Matt that’s a very fantastic video you just made there I had the same problem on iOS 9 with my iPhone 4s
I have this iPad mini, and it is using 9.3.5 OS. I do not want to Jailbreak it, for fear of ruining it. Too bad I cannot transfer my data from my iPad Mini to an IPAD2.
Can u tell me should i use my money to buy Ipad gen9 or wait for a few more months for ipad gen 10

@@sunasticos okay thanks for replying ☺️
slate black looks so nice
Siri just restarted working on ios 8, which is pretty cool.
Yeah!
My parents have one of these and they dont use it anymore and ive been wanting to repurpose it
kinda sucks its so slow it cant even run youtube
youtube actually used to still support yt probably until 2020 it’s kinda sad that i won’t have to watch on the app anymore and have to use the website instead
I can play lots of heavy games in it, so, no...
Hi planning to buy ipad mini 1 for my bby.. thus UA-cam kids work on this device?
Just checked. Still works.
Though I'd recommend ZERO or as little screen time for kids 0-3 or 4 yrs old.
Thank you for checking, I don't have the app, haha!
@@MattsTech No worries 👍🏼
Didn’t have it either. Downloaded it from the App Store to check & be of some help in UA-cam comments 🙂
Ah yes, my favorite game "Red's First Flight"
this ipad have screen recorder ? How did you record?
Using QuickTime on a Mac. :)
What’s the wallpaper on the thumbnail?
Can I use gmail and Facebook?
I have one of those
same but the problem is the charger port is loose and i have to find a way to try to fix it but rn i haven’t used it in months
6:10 the review
If you wanna miss half the video about me talking about the hardware and some of the qualms with iOS 8 and before, then you could call that point "the start." :)
Nice video! subbed already!
I have the chance to buy an iPad mini 1 for €25, will I be able to watch UA-cam videos on it, or does the UA-cam app not work anymore?
The UA-cam app unfortunately doesn't function anymore on iOS 9 without jailbreak tweaks.
You can use UA-cam in the browser (Safari)
Though it's a little slow & not exactly a good experience, but it can run it
Ty for the video
Hi just asking,I'm planning to get a ipad mini,but it's for Roblox,does Roblox works in ipad mini 2?
Roblox won’t run well on an iPad mini 2. Get an iPad mini 5 or later so that it has software support from Apple.
they discontinued everything before it actually (due to them going to 64 bit, also means that oses earlier than ios 11 wont run roblox), which means you CAN run roblox but it will probably not run that great.

The first gen iPads do not throttle due to bad batteries. Regardless of how healthy the battery is, the device will always be slow on iOS 9.
Did u update ur mini back to 9?
Yeah, I can downgrade it back to 8 if I need to though.
@@MattsTech yeah, wonder if the ota update is gonna get unsigned one day, even tho that would mean you cant update on ios 6.
*_Great video. Very informative. Thank you very much for sharing. Instant sub. Unfortunately, I wanted to know if my main 3rd party apps would still run here namely: Facebook, Facebook Messenger, UA-cam and Netflix. If these 4 apps work on that in 2023, I'd be stunned._*
I don’t think any of them do, unfortunately, I apologize. I think you can get them to work with jailbreak tweaks though.
@@MattsTech Thanks.
@@MattsTech I didn’t even know UA-cam didn’t work on iOS 9 until about 4 months ago now. I got locked out of my only iOS 9 device (got 2 locked).
I like the pc setup looks nice
Thanks! Maybe I should do a PC setup vid sometime; I never really considered it!
@@MattsTech yeah that would be a good vid
Is still worth it ? if I use it on DJI APP for drone and Lightroom for editing photos ?
nope
@@electrichillss Thank You for the answer 🙂
Watching your videos and looking at your channel I’m guessing your subscribed to 91tech. Since your channel looks like his
I am, though he’s not the reason why I do these. I do like his content though!

Most of Apple apps dont work with iOS 11, Apple killed some services for iOS 11 😂😂

Welp, this video aged horribly in that regard, they literally just fixed this within the past day or two. I'll add a note.
