New iPad Mini 2024 - A17 Pro Unboxing and Overview

[@jebaker2]

Apple really phoned this one in. With only updating this iPad every 3-4 years, I was hoping for more than a chip bump. A brighter screen with maybe 90hz refresh would have made a world of difference to me. This one's a major skip!

[@christomas8191]

A bigger screen? You’re joking right?

[@HeLithium]

@@christomas8191 yes you are

[@rick_terscale1111]

Yeh, 90hz refresh would have been enough. But its just an iPad 6 with more ram, storage and upgraded CPU. Thats's it. This is really an iPad 6s

[@xCaLLMeGHeTTo]

@@rick_terscale1111 For the same price though. It's a nice buy if you don't already have one.

[@rick_terscale1111]

@@christomas8191 Maybe smaller bezels.

That's only for pro iPad

[@christophergabriel8060]

iPad Pro and air 120hz

[@Imnotxiter]

@@cherkas009 thats not good atleast 90 fps should they give

[@louis_sharp]

@@christophergabriel8060 Only Pro

[@louis_sharp]

Yup. I think the should’ve done the same as Sony with the A7cR camera in their A7 lineup. A small unit that has all the functionality of the big best (of the A7 line). A18 would’ve been nice, if only for the WiFi 7 for future proofing as they’re rarely updated

[@ricardoramos5787]

i've seen several videos on this iPad and I must say that this video is by far the best one! i love how you went into depth on lots of things that I wouldn't have thought about like how loud the speakers are. Thank you so much for reviewing this iPad. I think I will be buying one.

[@efrus66]

Upgraded to mini 7. Sold my older mini 6 64GB for half the value of the new one so for me was worth it as I prefer to upgrade to retain battery capability. I do everything on this device and need to keep it at the top of its game. Worth the purchase for me.

[@bunyowbub]

I received my new Mini yesterday and it’s a huge improvement over my previous iPad mini, which was from 2013 lol. My 2013 Mini was barely usable. I pretty much just used it as an eReader. This new one is so much nicer!

[@csmarsh1957]

Yea....you can't update the apps.

[@KMKKM007]

Yes jelly scroll is still there. Battery limit 80% is available.

[@robsmetalcovers1452]

Thank you for this information. That 100% makes it a no deal for me.

[@redphone1438]

Isn’t the jelly scroll normal on devices without ProMotion?

[@michaelwoolcock5600]

I have a 128 gig mini 4. People spent 499.00 for a mini 6 with 64 gig. There was a 150.00 difference between that and 256 gig. On the new I pad there is a 100.00 difference. I am going to buy the 256 gig as I plan to have this iPad a long time. My 128 gig mini 4 lasted 9 years. With AI, you don't know how much memory the other apps are going to eat up so you are covered in that regard. Oh and for the people who don't think this tablet is a seller, Amazon in the UK have sold out!

[@hwi__hee]

Because they don't have much stock

[@cessna172ident]

I have an iPad mini 6 a family member gifted to me. Comparing the 6 and 7 together; the only real difference is Apple Intelligence and storage space options. Other than those; there aren’t any major differences.

[@ertemesiner]

AI is the only difference that matters. 90hz screen would have been a hit.

[@PSy84]

jelly scroll as well is not present in mini 7

[@ertemesiner]

@@PSy84 I tried, it is there 100%.

[@Xalora_Epic]

I need a device that I can use for light video editing, note-taking, working with Photoshop, creating PowerPoint presentations, and giving presentations at university. Occasionally, I also want to play games. Is the iPad Mini 2024 suitable for these tasks?

[@ertemesiner]

@ Yes, it is. sharp. If your eyes dont see much difference between 60hz and 90hz, definitely go for it. Otherwise, you find the reason why I couldn't add one to my collection.

[@pug_63]

I've upgraded from the 5th Gen, and went with the Space Grey - not a fan of pastels. Well done, US Apple fans. Your iPhones might not have SIM trays any more, but at least you got a charging brick with your new iPad Minis. Unbelievable. Thanks for the content.

[@davis6123]

That thumbnail goes hard.

[@PeterdaPanda]

Basically the definition of "Same, same, but different. But still same" 😂 Pretty obvious that Apple has a huge stockpile of binned A17 Pro chips, and just slapped them on the body of the iPad Mini 6 to save costs, and called it a day. 🤣

[@charvlim5159]

Maybe if Apple would start listening to the real experts like you then maybe just maybe they could actually start selling by the boat loads right? 😊

[@ConnorTuna]

10:42 CPU benchmark scores shouldn’t be affected by removing a GPU core. The difference is probably from underclocking like they did with the A15 in the last Mini

[@ConnorTuna]

@@deon.zoldyck never said anything about the A15 in the mini getting a GPU core removed. I said that Apple underclocked it compared to the A15 in the iPhone 13s

[@jerold12345]

I would like to see a video with all your apple devices. Im pretty curious about your collection.

[@BellaNC]

I want one!!!

[@JustAPersonWhoComments]

Nice iPad Mini 7th gen unboxing Aaron! I was wondering at 1:44, the base iPad would just be named iPad, then the updated iPad mini added the word Mini, then they didn’t name iPad Air and Pro with the included words Air and Pro in it. I would assume that be a future update on the iPad lineup

[@JacobMichu]

Thank you for the in-depth review

[@Liam19831]

My daughter has had her iPad mini 6 since 2021. Unfortunately this is not a big enough upgrade from that model.

[@khns7016]

Your daughter will be 50 until she see real difference

[@garethevison]

There is rarely enough change to upgrade any Apple device from its immediate predecessor. I don’t have a mini so will get the latest version to get the latest chip and future proof for iOS upgrades. I have considered getting a 6th gen though due to similarities between the models.

[@Liam19831]

@@garethevison normally I would agree with you. But she’s 8 and after three years of having the iPad it’s in less than great condition lol. After three whole years between models it’s a disappointing upgrade to the 7th gen. It’s not like an iPhone that comes out every year

[@alext8128]

Does this iPad Mini 7th gen have built-in Battery Health menu to see cycle count?

[@JonSands]

They need to offer a nano texture option for the iPad Minis to somewhat compete with Kindle e-readers!

[@SanGerardino]

That’s a great idea!

[@SPFboy86]

This will never happen. Apple doesn't see Amazon Kindles as iPad Mini competitors. Casual readers will choose the Mini anyway, frequent readers won't consider tablets at all. Besides, the nano-texture is only available on certain iPad Pros for additional charge, so this feature won't be seen on the Minis.

[@tjr3708]

Hey Aaron great job as always Sir!!

[@ardynjaleco]

Does this iPad mini 7 have Battery health feature?

[@julianvillarreal1450]

Nice unboxing. It’s crazy that the first ever iPad Mini will be 12 years old this November 2nd. But it’s been over 14 years since the first ever iPad was released. Released on April 3rd, 2010.

[@G.Freeman92]

3G on April 30th. I remember waiting that long month.

[@khns7016]

Apple doesn’t respect our brains anymore so we have to don’t respect them

[@SharonAnn1999]

I think this is a great iPad for people who travel and want something lightweight. While it doesn't have as many features as the M2 Air or the M4 Pro, I love being able to easily slip it into my purse.

[@d-zone]

I can't believe they didn't fix the "jelly wobble"

[@ZippyNarwhal]

It’s so odd. I’ve seen some reviews say it’s a lot better or completely fixed and others say nothing has changed.

Nice video as always Aaron!

[@johnboona4048]

Pretty cheap but wish they put an m4 chip in it. A17 Pro is a relic of the past.

[@jtdcjtdc]

A17 Pro is a relic? u have no idea have you? M4 in an iPad Mini? clearly you have no idea lol!

[@fracturedmind8124]

A17 is literally only a year old. Still plenty powerful. The A12 Bionic is a relic, but it still supports iOS 18.

[@nickrendell4300]

It looks exactly the same, I can’t see what the fuss is all about. Just a processor change.😮

[@Pearloryx]

Just a processor and ram change. I rather go with the iPad Pro M2

[@rick_terscale1111]

It's basically an iPad 6s. Even the box is the same as iPad 6.

[@IzaanFitness]

@@Pearloryxno stock wallpaper and battery limit 80% on ipad pro m2 , i will save money and get ipad pro m4 instead

[@techr1320]

And Apple intelligence support

[@itsdymazk]

Yup internal changes (RAM and Chip, supporting Apple Intelligence), USB 3 support, and Apple Pencil Support changes (Pencil 2 to Pencil Pro) I heard the speakers are getting better, but most people are using wired or wireless anyway

[@hyacinthzpt]

I love this but idk if this is available in the Philippines

[@NomadJedi]

I have a mini 6. I use one of the "mini" wallpapers since day 1, it holds #1 spot in my lock screen switcher. But if I replace it with something else, I can't get it back, where the new iPad has ALL of them available in Collections. Why is this? The new model is a mere spec bump in processor and pencil compatibility, they didn't even bother changing the box. So why can't I have all the "mini" wallpapers as well?

[@mcain2911]

I might actually need this. I love my iPad Pro 12.9 but it’s hard to handle now after my wrist injury. May also look at a smaller iPad Pro

[@KiLLJOY1056]

The 11 iPad Pro is the perfect size for a tablet. I have the 12.9”, the 11”, and the Mini 6. It’s the best, big enough to enjoy content and draw, small enough to be handheld and travel with. While I do enjoy my mini sometimes. My Pro Max iPhone isn’t all that far off so I just use my phone instead

[@IzaanFitness]

@@KiLLJOY1056no , 9 inch ipad pro is the best among them , apple should make them , and get rid the ipad mini lineup instead , do 9,11,13 inch version

[@Zuuu40]

Wow your thumbnail😍😍

[@dk-._.-]

Can we use Apple Pencil 2?

[@shavockiphea]

Nope. Apple Pencil Pro or USB C Pencil. Apple has quietly made the Pencil 2 obsolete. That discourages me from updating to the 7 as I use my 6 for a ton of note taking.

[@IntegraDIY]

5:00 that’s the disappointment.. same display. was hoping for OLED. that’s the only thing the mini 6 lacked. again with the 7. my mini 6 will do just fine until the next one comes out if they decide to put a nice panel on it.

[@rmwarriors16]

[@robertveneziano]

my ipad mini 6 does not have the 'mini' wallpaper available in collections in the wallpaper picker...weird! In Australia.

[@BenRichards7]

I've tried my best to get my original mini 6 to jelly scroll (portrait and landscape) but it absolutely refuses. Different display manufacturers 🤷‍♂️ no idea.

[@douglaskeller7950]

[@chris2171-q8y]

Hey Aaron, when do you think the regular Ipad 11th Gen will release

[@VccgbbNbbn]

I think you'll be released in 2025

[@A-Potatooo]

I actually like this device it’s perfect for me and I love the fingerprint so it can unlock immediately instead of waiting for the face scan

[@jokaiii]

Something someone brought up is the longevity of the newer chip and ram. Do you think upgrading from a mini 6 to this 7 will really secure a longer lifespan?

[@jrelitedk1814]

If the jelly scrolling was fixed it would be 100% worth it

[@IntegraDIY]

8:51 my ipad mini 6 is on 16.5.1 and it doesn’t the pride wallpaper.. apple made sure to update that, but not offer other images and designs

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

I got on Christmas Day today

[@OfficialBeaverYT]

Great vid Arron, in the UK iPads no longer come with a power plug in the box

[@MichaelWoolcock-o9k]

Agreed. And if they were not so in demand as the other ipads, why is that Amazon have sold out of the wi-fi only versions already?

[@Rockapotamus91]

I would of been 101% sold on a mini pro with oled and pro motion, big iPads aren't my thing.

[@ricardoramos5787]

I have the new iPad Pro M4 13in and it is AWESOME. Yes its big but the quality of the screen and the sound of the speakers are amazing, Definitely worth every penny. I recently visited an Apple Store and all the employees were using the mini. I must, say it peaked my interest. After hearing about this last release, I think I am sold! looks super cool.

[@DarwinWJ74]

11:50 it definitely looks better and I don’t notice it on mine at normal speed.

[@adamm6409]

I wonder what this means for the iPhone SE coming out early next year...

[@AndrewYouTubehandle]

Nice review. Sold my iPad mini 6th gen (loved it) for £230. Buying an iPad mini 7 priced at £500, which means it costs me £270. For that I get 128gb instead of 64gb, 3 more years of updates, faster processor with ability to run Apple Intelligence, improved connectivity, higher resale value and the ability to use my existing ipad mini case and keyboard. Easy upgrade for cost benefit for me. The one thing I would have liked is wireless charging. And jelly scrolling, I've never experienced it, but I don't rapidly scroll up and down, or know anyone who does.

[@Omarauh]

What about iOS 18.2 beta on iPad mini

[@patrickmckernan7122]

Do you think the jelly scrolling would affect gaming ?

[@zollotech]

No, because it’s not there when you hold the iPad in landscape

[@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461]

🤗 THANKS AARON FOR THE REVIEW 💚💚💚

[@jkthedovahkiin1656]

How is it possible that older iPad minis prior to the 6'th gen. didn't have that jelly scrolling thing?

[@jaycahow4667]

They did just in the landscape orientation. They have to pick a dominate direction to be the main one. Prior to the mini 6 the dominate direction was portrait but starting with the mini 6 it changed to landscape. The screen refreshes better in the dominate direction and you get jelly scroll in the other orientation.

The biggest shame of this device is 500 nits brightness. Basically entirely unusable outside which is a fatal flaw considering this is the most portable tablet. Meaning that this tablet is more likely to be used outside than anything else they offer besides the watch and phone. Apple’s pettyness knows no bounds. I swear this is basically a spite device.
