  • So the iPad mini is a device that’s had a tumultuous history right from the start, and every model has been met with some level of criticism, both from the public and from within Apple itself. Many have wondered where the iPad mini stands in Apple’s tablet lineup and how it compares with other competitors, especially since it hasn’t received a significant update in almost three years. So in this video I’m going to talk about the history of the iPad mini line, then talk a little bit about what the upcoming years may hold for this device.

    Honestly the Mini was so popular because the size is perfect. I took mine with me everywhere. I now have an iPad Pro 12.9 and it’s too big to bring anywhere. I wish Apple would come out with a mini 5 with the internals of a pro. Would be the perfect size and power.

    Love the iPad mini series♥️I got the iPad mini 2 for Christmas when I was like 8 or something and loved it. I saved all my money to buy the mini 4, which I’ve had since 2016. They both were definitely perfect to me and I used my iPad mini 4 for school for 2 years. Im surprised the 4 didnt sell better because it really was a good tablet that could get the job done and perform well.

    The iPad mini 4 is great for a tablet literally it’s light, fast, and not as big as the other iPads that are harder to hold in hand

    The iPad mini was good for what it was at the time. It came out in 2012, but the first good one came out in 2013 with the iPad mini 2. It was a 64 bit iPad that had the same processor as the iPhone 5s, and had a retina screen, so it’s still supported to this day, up to iOS 12. But with the possible iPhone X plus coming out with a 6.5 inch screen, it seems a little redundant now. I’m still hanging on to my iPad mini 2 for the next year, at least.

    My first ever smart device was an iPad mini original in Christmas 2013. I have so much nostalgia with that thing. I finally had a smart device of my own. In 2016 rumors came around that it wouldn’t get iOS 10, and I got a mini 4. Still use it to this day. I love the thing. It has held up so much over the years, and has minimal lag at worst on 11.2.4. I’m actually pretty good at typing on it as well, as I had to type many essays on it since I didn’t have a computer.
    I even want to see about trading in my 64GB mini 4 for one with LTE capabilities for use as a phone, since my phone is a hunk of crap.

    I had the iPad Mini 2 64GB Wifi for about 2.5 years (my sister got it on release). The form factor was nice, screen was great, but the speakers were pretty bad as was the non-laminated screen. Tapping on the glass created a hollow noise.
    Overall though, it's done well, but even on iOS 10.3.3, the last version I upgraded to, it was laggy and slow. I've since traded it in to Best Buy for $125 and bought an iPad Pro 10.5" 256GB Wifi back in May 2018. It works for me and is a beauty.

    Been using a borrowed iPad Mini 4 for a month. I thought it'd be slow, but it never lags; it's very snappy and even Asphalt 9 runz without issues and looks great. The size is great for portability and gaming (normal iPads are too big for most thought for smartphone games).
    It's absolutely a recommendable purchase, at least for most uses. Even music production software runs great on it.

    I had the iPad mini 4 128 GB for three years. First unit I had under a year had developed a few dead pixels and was replaced. Second unit served me well but it was showing its age with the most recent iPadOS 14. Traded it in last week for a Best Buy gift card and applied it to an online purchase of a new iPad Pro 11” that will be shipped to my door in a few days. Loved the mini form factor and if they brought out a full screen model with the same physical case dimensions as the current mini 5, I’d buy it.

    iPad mini is a great series! I got myself an mini 1 just a short period of time after it was announced. I don't have a habit of getting the first item of an Apple device series. I started using iPod touch from gen 2, iPad from iPad 2, iPhone from iPhone 6, Apple Watch from series 3, MacBook Pro from MBP2016, and AirPods from gen2. But I got myself the iPad mini 1, due to I was having a problem on my iPad 2 being TOO BIG, and mini was just the right size for me. Still enough display, lighter and smaller, super portable. I used iPad 2 at home and took my mini 1 outside. Now I am using a mini 3 which replaced my mini , iPad 2 and iPad 3, for the reason I didn’t need a big iPad anymore, and later I got a MacBook Pro 2016 as my big display. But there was also a problem on iPad mini’s screen ratio, which was (and still is) uncomfortable to watch 16:9 ratio videos, so recently I bought an Amazon Fire HD 10 2019 as an portable video watching tablet, used alongside my mini 3. I really hope Apple could make a 16:9 iPad, and if so, I will get one. Also if there will another major update on iPad mini 6, I will get one too.

    My second Apple product (after iPod touch) was an iPad Mini 1. I was obsessed with that thing and very protective of it, but it was lost after my house was robbed and the person who stole it sold it to some kid. I locked it from my computer and found the kid who bought it for $50 and let him keep it because a family member gifted me a refurbished iPad Mini 2, which is what I still have today. I’ve stopped updating it because it ended up getting slower with the newer updates, but I still use it daily for RUclips several years later.

    8:23, I've heard this too, that because phones got bigger screens so people didn't care for iPad Mini or 7 inch tablets in general because they use their phones instead.
    I think thats total b.s. When I worked selling this stuff, it wasn't rare for people to bring in their iPads for cases or repair or questions, going all the way back to the iPad 1. People tend to hold on to them, use them for longer than the phones. They also take a lot better care of them overall than the phone and the use cases are different generally.
    Personally, i have an iMac 27 inch, an iPhone X & an iPad Mini 4 ( watch and other things also but )... I do different things on all of them.
    I'll read/browse a site on my iMac, work, game maybe, etc.
    My iPhone X for the obvious messages, e-mail, navigation, picture taking, quick stuff
    My iPad Mini ( Use the News App heavily and Book reading for the majority )

I think also because the screen on the mini 4 is laminated to the glass it makes the screen look slightly better. Also great video again dude.

    I used to have an iPad mini 2. It was amazing, so if you’re looking for a budget iPad, go buy it! But then, i got an iPad mini 4 for Christmas. If you have a bigger budget, i would recommend that.

    Apple did recently update the Mini. It supports Apple Pencil and has an Apple A12 chip.

    Some iPad mini 3s actually ran iOS 8.0. At my camp, there is an iPad mini 3 running that firmware.

      Colin Steinberg Like right now? You could jailbreak it

      Brandon Yeo I’m positive it’s still running 8.0. Since I last saw it a month ago. I can’t jailbreak it because I left camp exactly a month ago and I could get into serious trouble if I jailbroke it.
