Love my mini 5. Been using it for more than couple of years and no complaints. Mostly use it for media consumption, games etc and use my phone just as a phone. Smooth eco system experience. The size is perfect for holding while reading books, news etc. holding onto this until it stops working.
Hey im thinking to buy ipad 5 mini preused
Does all the apps still work i need like youtube (not da safari version ),roblox amd pinterest
@@Misbah-rf6bo it should be ok to run apps and stuff. Not sure about the battery health if it is refurbished.
@@bayernrocks alrr tysmm for helping!
@@Misbah-rf6boDo NOT purchase it. Apple utilizes software obsolescence. This means as they phase it out, they will reduce its speed tremendously. You’ll suddenly find the things that worked fast and perfect before, being reduced to a crawl. This will have nothing to do with the hardware of the device, and is initiated through their software. Apple lost a lawsuit over this in the past, and as a result, will openly admit to doing it if directly asked.
Does it have battery health pls tell me
The problem with iPads aside from iOS if your not a fan, is the small storage and lack of SD support. The base models are affordable and competitively priced. The higher models with a bit extra storage are already over priced compared to the competition.
Dont know why the ios is a problem while ipads are the only tablet with long OS support. Second thing is who tf needs a lot of memory on a tablet. Everything is streaming now. Movies and music in that regards. And no sane person would use their tablet as their main camera.
@@gordlord6738Is 64 gb sufficient in any iPad?
yeah
@@gordlord6738 I thought the same about 64gb of space. I use my mini for mainly media consumption and some games for my kids. My apps are always being offloaded because I run out of space without downloading videos. If you aren’t always connected to the internet, it can be a huge PITA.
For IOS, the long term support is good but Samsung now offers the same. My husband has had his S6 Lite since 2020 and it’s still going strong. Things are more expensive in the App Store and trying to change your country when you are an expat is a giant headache, I just tried to change mine back to America and it is going to require a plane flight ffs. This seems to be common with a lot of red tape issues in the Apple ecosystem
Even with the annoyances though, you can’t beat the build quality and longevity of an iPad. Even staunch apple haters acknowledge that
@@UnicornsPoopRainbows altho it's tempting to buy android tablets like the Samsung ones. Better screen and features. But I just can't because I'm using an iphone. While using my ipad if someone calls me I can still answer it thru speakerphone. And the seamless sync of notes and photos. That alone android peeps won't understand that apple is developing ecosystem and don't focus much on features. Well androids are trying but it is far inferior than apple's
I’m thinking about getting a mini-5… I have a mini 2 and it is at the point where it’s pretty much useless. I still
Like the old style and want to be able to keep using my old cases
Still using it. Still pretty good!
Nice 👍
Same
Im still using it but i never update it from iOS 14. Can anyone please advise how would it perform if i update it to the latest iOS?
Still updates to latest software???
@@stmichale6192yes
Just purchased 1 on ebay for $125 yesterday …. I have 1 ipad mini 4…2 ipad mini 5s…and a ipad mini 6 all behind otterboxes love them 2024
Hi bro , I wonder if you could give me one
Any ipad 5 in any condition would work for me
I am a student in 9 th standard and I need it for using ms office 365 and ms access
Considering the mini 5 & iPad 8th gen share the same specs & the iPad 8 came out in 2020. I would expect to see the A12 chip supported into 2025.
The IPad mini 5 however has a better display, speakers, and front camera than the iPad 8. I do worry that iPad OS has slowed it a down little though. I recently downgraded from a bigger iPad to the mini 5 due to the tablets being to big. The mini 6 I really liked it, but they made the form factor so smaller it’s just awkward to use.
The mini 5 is perfect for when it comes to size. It’s just so perfect for portability and when at home texting, FaceTime, phones calls, emails, work and I just love this design.
I am hoping it last for at least one more major update. I would love to see an iPad se line and see the iPad line completely go away.
Then the mini 7 could be an 8” version of the air line. Then they could just put Face ID on the mini 5 body & add 4 speakers and a flash. That’s my dream IPad!
I have learned that Touch ID in the home button is terrible. Which is why I switched back to the mini 5. Also the mini 6 has some display issues and I read a lot on my iPad. The 10th gen iPad screen seems to dark. So I have tons of opinions on wtf is going on with newer iPads priced so high, and the is on them.
But if you want a decent iPad for a year or 2 the mini 5 is a safe bet for $250. Or the iPad 9th gen.
If I was to recommend anything else I can justify more than $500 for a tablet. Just because iPad OS is the same pretty across all iPads.
What you think about performance in comparison to ipad 9? I already have a ipad 9 and want change to smaller one, problem is, here in Brasil, mini 5 cost 500 and mini 6 700, things are expensive here, i play apple arcade games a lot, youtube and Kindle...
@@ZePovinhofilosofo ipads are different for example the ipad 6 & 7 are A10 Chips & support the latest version of ipad os. They really are sticking to the promise of 5 years of support.
If your wanting a better gaming experience. I would get the mini 6 it has an A15 chip in it & 4gbs of ram.
Great speakers & laminated display.
The Ipad air 4 & 10th gen have an A14 chip. But I wouldn’t recommend the 10th gen iPad. It’s a worse version of the air 4.
You can always get the ipads a little cheaper buying certified refurbished from apple.
Its also a weird time to buy an ipad. As we have not had new ipads this year. If theres not an announcement by November. Then most likely we will not see new ipads till March/April of 2024.
It’s why I chose the iPad mini 5. I bought it new refurbished for $250.
There had been tons of sales where every ipad was $150-$100 off from amazon, target, & best buy.
So when I keep waiting for the mini 7 or 11th gen ipad Im like im not spending alot ya know?
But if your trying to play games like RE4 remake apple states you’ll need an M1 ipad model. Which the cheapest I have seen is the Air 5 for $400 refurbished from Target.
I hope that helps! 😀
Been using this iPad since January 2021. Battery is awesome.
Nice!
@@FishBeeProductionsI feel like the iPad mini 5 camera is like the new iPhone cameras except it’s grainy.
These are hard to find. If I found one under 300 I’d get one
I have one 😅and selling it
For those who do music and need the headphone jack this is an amazing device in terms of power and portability.
Still have one, its flawless!
Not at all. Its 500€ used in sweden.
Pay 100€ more and get the ipad mini 6 (new)
It got mch more expensive now
My ipad mini 5 still works great! I have an ipad pro too but sometimes i just like holding something smaller.
Still using 4 but just bought a 5🎉off ebay for 250😅
Mainly because it’s the last one with a home button like the 8+phone.
Still using mine. The price of ipad mini 6 is too much for a secondary device for media consumption and gaming device purposes. Love the bezels as well. I might update to ipad mini 7 when it releases tho.
I just got one last week
That poor player had to jump off the car not knowing the driver is doing a gadget review 😂
I managed to get one for 200 bucks. Buddy needed cash pretty bad. So he sold it for really low. It’s pretty much in mint condition. Screen protector. Wifi only. 64gb.
Nice 👍
Is it still good? affinity designer can use?
@@fayyallery I’d say it’s still good.
I think the 3gb ram dates this iPad Mini but its definitely still usable today. If you can afford it, the Mini 6 is a great upgrade. I still use my Mini 5 64gb when I don't feel like using my iPad Air 5 and it runs okay on IOS 16.4
No, the 4GBRAM on the mini 6 date that too and there is basically nothing the mini 5 cannot do that the mini 6 can, contrary for instance to iPad pro 2021 vs 2020. Mini 5 was a huge upgrade from the 4 (I have both), mini 6 it's mainly an external upgrade, hopefully the mini 7 will bring 6GB RAM and maybe promotion
Agree.
I’m still using my iPad Mini 5 and I haven’t upgrade to the mini 6.
I have a Mini 2, Mini 5, and Xiaomi Pad5. I’m planning on buying another used Mini 5 with more space and wait for more ram on a later mini. My kid gets my old mini 5 so her games will actually work. Using a large and small tablet I can say the smaller size works so much better for me and kids. Unfortunately, there aren’t many decent options
@@_DigitalguyYeah, while the mini 6 is technically better, nothing in it urges a mini 5 owner to upgrade to it. Mini 5 is still a beast of a device and a deal for people who want to purchase a smaller sized tablet. I have mine on iOS 14 still because Apple seem to forget to optimize their software for the mini sized iPads, and it performs great and gives me 3-5 days of battery life on light to moderate usage. Sure, if I used it extensively during the day I’d probably have to charge it by the end of the day, but that’s valid for any device that gets used extensively.
Is it still good this year? Or it is lag? Procreate and affinity designer?
Two years ago, I was going to buy one of these for my wife fully loaded with 256GB and the cell data option. Knew this older model would more than met her needs and, we even to a trip to our local Apple retail store so, she could check it out. However, when I asked her to chip in about 30 percent of the cost ($175 US)... all of a sudden she lost interest (smile...smile).
What I need is something to write my notes at university.
Is the minitoo small for that purpose?
The alternative would be the Ipad 9 or 10ß
would this be a good option if i want a drawing tablet? especially game art?
I'm planning to buy an iPad mini 5 should I go for it
If you can get cheap enough yes
Very good review! Thanks!
Still using mine, and it still works great.
BTW, I gave my iPad mini 2 from 2013 to my daughter. It was still getting security updates last year (2022).
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab a7 light. I needed a small form factor tablet with GPS to use as a navigation station for my sailboat and kayaks. It had to be cheap and the a7 was new on ebay for $70. The Mini is obviously better in almost every way, but it has been a bit of a surprise that the cheap Droid tablet can do everything the Mini can do (just not as well) and with GPS can do a number of things that the Mini can't do at all! Still the Mini is a great tablet, and I am looking forward to using it for years to come.
@@AnnisaBellsunset it is unfortunately true that iPads do not have GPS, except for those with cellular capability. Frankly I find this to be ridiculous. Why does my $100 Samsung bottom feeder have GPS, while a $500 iPad does not? Especially as the iPad mini is a favorite navigation tool for pilots?
But that is ok. The cheap Samsung tablet works well as a navigation tool, and it can be easily replaced if anything happens to it.
Thanks for the essay 😂
@@SubyArtz you’re welcome🤣
@@clydeosterhout1221 your welcome
I’m still using mines it’s working great 👍

I paid 50 bucks for mine because the lady I bought it from dropped a hammer on it. Then decided to sell it for 50 bucks.

Now ipad mini 5 still buy it now or no ?
The iPad mini 6 is selling now for $399.00 brand new. A15 bionic chip is🔥.
It sucks where I live. 64gb is $750 😭😭
@@UnicornsPoopRainbowsYea, I hear ya! It's almost the same here in the U.S.. $399.00 is just for 64 gig when it's on sale on Amazon for $100.00 off. The 256 gig is $599.00 when on sale. My iPad 10th gen was $599.00 with 256 gig. Pricey suckers!
Can I play CODM BR in Ipad Mini 5? With resources downloaded?
Mine still working fine
Is it still good now? Is it lag?
Affinity designer can use?
My mum has an iPad mini 5
Can you explain why the apps aren't wide, it Looks look if the apps are fit to whole screen
Does anybody know if hdmi-female to lightning-male adapter works with the iPad mini 5, to connect it with a projector or a tv?
Is there a comparison video between this mini 5 vs lite s6 lite 2022 in your channel?
no i haven't done that comparison
That would be interesting. I have a Mini 5 and my husband has a S6 lite. We both really like our devices but don’t use each other’s. I just updated his today for him and the size is pretty nice
I sold my 6s Lite because it was slow. Hoping a new used iPad mini 5th gen will be better.
Still Works wonder🎉🎉
Im still using it playing PUBG. But bro you are not a good teammate. :D
lol i am most of the time
Im still using ipad mini 4 and still good. Except for gaming. It lags
In your opinion, should I get the cellular or just wifi?
thats really up to you, i always use my tablets on wifi at home or when traveling
Ive only had mine for 2 yrs it got cracked has a hole in it still works😂
I wouldn't mind a 6, but i'll buy the 5 until a 7 comes out xD
How to purchase a second hand iPad mini 6
Can I use apps that require iOS 15.0 or later in this iPad mini 5?
You can update it to the latest IOS (17)
No. You always got force close when you play a genshin impact. I sold it bcs of this
wow really? i never play that game even though its popular, i guess i should try it out
Does 64gb is sufficient..?
Barely for some, should be 128gb
I don’t think so but for less than 250 maybe yes is better than iPad 8 laminated display and p3 are good options
I just got one on Auction for 170, would you say this is a good deal?
nice!
Dose it run roblox good? i really want this ipad but i want it to run roblox!
Welp I have an iPad mini 5 this bad boy is so good camera like real life good quality

Im still using ipad mini 5 but i never update it from iOS 14. Can anyone please advise how would it perform if i update it to the latest iOS?
I have a iPad mini 5, I only have 2.85 GB memory on my device which can’t play high graphic games that require at least 3 GB so which I reach 1800 memory in roblox games, I crash!

My iPad Pro 10.5 is dead technically that a amazing device it was, it is repairable but it’s not worth it. (Lcd issue)
Is ipad mini 5 still supported, If yes than for how long? Please tell 🙏🏻
Yes but I'm not sure how much longer, could be 1 or 2 years more
@@FishBeeProductions oh that's great than 👍🏻
What does this mean? Still supported ?
Are the bezels on iPad mini 5 larger than the iPad 9?
very similar
Its smaller than the mini 5 bezels
Is it worth updating to iOS 16.5 on this ?
Not sure I wait for updates just in case there's bugs to fix
The bezels might be the biggest I've ever seen!
you haven't seen the iPad 4...
@@_Digitalguy I'm scared to look!
@@_Digitalguy I looked and I see what you mean! Awful!
Yeah but those bezels let’s you hold it different ways compared to a full screen design.
The bezels are big; so what?
What’s that song name
