Apple iPad mini with Retina Display (White vs Black): Unboxing & Overview

[@rjk1.618]

this guy has the best job ever. he gets to peel the plastic cover off phones everyday.

[@seerat8200]

Ikrr I'm over here like give me one

[@kellangaming1108]

Ikr, I love pealing plastic.

[@aymanalam9211]

Me too Ryan Kist. I also love peeling plastic! That makes whooshing sound!

[@ravneet2473]

Ryan Kist pealing plastic is so satisfying

[@JamesJames-ji2hf]

Ryan Kist Hi

[@SentinelPrimek]

Oh yeah, waiting all day for this pro unboxing/review. I'm so glad you talked about the wall adapter, no other KZbinr that reviewed or unboxed it talked about it.

[@chasewithhigh5s]

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?

[@reynaldocarreon2305]

Detroitborg is the best unboxing KZbinr

[@mcasse7131]

Yesss

[@XBOXPIRATES]

Ino write

[@mktx.]

Yea

[@adammzain]

i know right 😎

[@rumi1403]

Yeah! I know right! He is the best Unboxing KZbinr!

[@_Paul_N]

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.

[@Anthony89810]

Yeah this is one of the best iPad.

[@AaronTechnic]

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

[@waxaus]

This is the first time I watch one of your reviews but let me tell you have a brand new subscriber here. Your review is extremely detailed, eloquent and fluid! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!

[@LoveLife-yh7ke]

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.

[@Sotirisdim8]

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

[@marslays1622]

I remember when this iPad was called iPad mini with retna display

[@KhoaTran0720]

Almost 6 years later and I still have mine, watching this video on it right now.

[@kingofenglandthethir]

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.

[@CaseyvlVisage]

Damn only 32GB?

[@BeachBaller]

I still use my iPad mini 2 everyday. I’m glad it’s getting the latest iOS 12 update.

[@MortalKoaster]

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!

[@Absurd_Sealion]

I like the back of the space grey but prefer the white front! Dilemma, which colour!!

[@brandonsbircaknedlosn9584]

I'm getting this iPad in space grey for Christmas! I can't wait!!

[@ZyliceLiddell]

+brandon sbircaknedlosn Me too! :D

[@chillychillitv7657]

I'm getting the white!!

[@ajmerthethy9011]

Mini, me too.

[@gracejones9469]

+Freddie MacGregor Im getting the white for my b day

[@dckstcat]

Yes finally, someone that has visually shown the difference in thickness! Sweet.

[@EliPwns1337]

I like the mini more then the air. Checked them out at the local store. Mini is more comfortable then the Air.

[@ImPixeLdesigns]

Same here! i bought an iPad Mini, my dad has the Air, sincerly, im according with you and i prefer mine :D

[@dulkithpitigalage504]

Yeah you are right Elijah

[@dylanbarrett89]

and both are great for gaming

[@dulkithpitigalage504]

Yeah both are the best

[@k0reus169]

I like my 2017 9.7

[@djdaz411]

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!

[@gamergirl101-y1h]

this was an awesome review

[@zionmikle8938]

DetroitBORG has the best videos ever

[@mchik4709]

Watching this on my iPad mini 2 :)

[@Maddie_is_a_swiftie]

Same :)

[@mchik4709]

@@fahdelsayed2882 it is good but maybe go for the iPad mini 4 or 5 those are newer and better :)

[@Kabuche]

Finally I noticed the real differences between the 2 versions, very good video. Definitely I'll go for retina version. Thanks for the video man.

[@sournator]

Watching this on my new iPad mini retina :)

[@Jakelegofilms]

Dude, return it and wait. New iPads are coming in october with new features. I am guessing you don't know the product cycle.

[@sournator]

il past the i just wanted a new ipad :)

[@Jakelegofilms]

sour simon You'll be fine since the rMini has A7 so it's future-proof :D

[@Jakelegofilms]

***** Dude don't get one today just wait a few weeks and get the new one

[@Jakelegofilms]

***** Same! I'm waiting too but there's rumors of no mini 3 because the stupid 6 Plus :(

[@kalor_2296]

one of the best comparisons on youtube.

I'm getting this for Christmas can't wait to Thursday!!!!

[@crusherusherdowning]

ME 2!

[@lataishajohnson2117]

kai downing how many gb you getting I'm getting the 32gb

[@crusherusherdowning]

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 :)

[@lataishajohnson2117]

kai downing wow that's great

[@markopolo7491]

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.

[@Chets]

DetroitBORG unboxing is like a boss mostly unboxing all colours, even a good review.

[@racerhomie]

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

[@JerTheGeek]

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.

[@knguye11]

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.

[@shanetom3387]

Got this for Christmas and it's truly an amazing device but trust me despite the side you will need a small device like a phone to go with it

[@mauricioflores3732]

Just watching this video in 2024 😅

[@blonde198821]

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. 🙂👍🏻

[@pdshunter2001]

i just bought this tablet will it last 3-4 years? i planned on keeping this for a long time

[@pondphuwin555]

Yes. If you take care of it. I have my iPad 3 for 3years and it has no problems

[@AliumMoAnn]

I've had my iPad 2 since 2011. So your iPad should last for quite a while, if you care for it.

[@pdshunter2001]

K thanks for telling me both of u so far it's been a great tablet

[@Sathyameva__jayathe]

Ya

[@MochaLove4243]

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?

[@brave1.0]

My sister still has a iPad mini original on iOS 7.0.4.

[@geckogt262]

I would upgrade to iOS 10

[@geckogt262]

Okay got ya.hope your satisfied wth it

[@aymanalam9211]

I have an iPad mini original in iOS 8

[@Anthony89810]

I have an original iPad mini in ios 6

[@Anthony89810]

Guess what, I have an iPad mini on IOS 6.1.3

[@GAVO-zr7gk]

I've seen about 20 unboxings of the new ipad mini, and I never noticed the new wall adaptor o_O because they never mentioned!!! Awesome Video Bro ;)

[@meftahicham]

RIP headphone jack i miss you

[@extrememonaXXX]

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.

[@Nithushan21]

ipad mini with retina should have the same geekbench score as ipad air because there the same but diffrent size

[@RenanGoncalves]

Apple iPad Air comes with a "A7X" processor... i don't know why apple dont say that... its good to marketing.

[@spookytrash]

no,Actually the screen on thsi is way better aswell as alot more

[@dulkithpitigalage504]

***** Its A7 Man

[@RenanGoncalves]

Dulkith Pitigalage on iPad Air is a different A7 :)

[@dulkithpitigalage504]

A7 X Dosent make much of a difference

[@itsmePV]

is it worth having an LTE version? because I'm still debating whether to get the wifi only or with the date version... reply soon~ ^^

[@Prence]

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. :(

[@Prence]

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.

[@charlesmagtoto7124]

Buy the Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic for only $29.

[@Prence]

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

[@THJSTrickshots]

Prence ummmmmmm the apple earpods are good. in my opinon, they are very high quality

[@patrikpistol9408]

Prence They are really good actually

[@haroonyx]

I actually really like mini glad that it now comes with Retina Display.

[@TheGreeleyn]

what do you do with all these gadgets after you do the reviews, you can't possibly use them all?

[@anequinonez3248]

I'm posting this on my iPad mini with retina display space gray. Just got it yesterday, I really love it.

[@AmirAbdullah]

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 .

[@jorgevaladas8420]

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.

[@AmirAbdullah]

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.

[@jorgevaladas8420]

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.

[@AmirAbdullah]

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 KZbin 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.

[@mrk1075]

Amir Abdullah are you talking about the 1st gen iPad mini or the 2nd gen iPad mini with retina?

[@brettspencer14ify]

the BEST iPad mini with retina display review

[@DetroitBORG]

Thank You :)

[@acerview77ctre]

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 kzbin.infoUgkxw55tQTywUAAOsbrlwxONZULry77sFF1Q 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.

[@SimplySport]

7 days till school gives me one

[@Bendew]

Lucky! Do you get to keep it?

[@jdmattinson8552]

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 🖥

[@SimplySport]

+PenguinToastGaming yes and it's totally free

[@Bendew]

WOW not fair!

[@fahimahmed5897]

I prefer the iPad Mini with Retina Display over iPad Air, because the specs are similar but the former's size is more compact!

[@narutolol3199]

my computer is so fuckin gay 1.3 ghz and my laptop is 1.8 ghz LOL I THINK THIS IPAD BEATS MY LEPTEP

[@toneehh999]

[@jorgevaladas8420]

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

[@esteban5125]

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)

[@Quagmicah]

nexus 7 is the best 7 inch tablet

[@esteban5125]

You did a great job on this review. You did the unboxing, start up, overview of the features, compared it to the old mini and the air, and quickly showed the smart cover. Most other reviewers would break that down to 5 videos. Plus your voice is clear. Great job.

I've been waiting for this!!!

[@The_Spctr]

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.
