iPad Mini Review - The Best iPad Yet

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's going on guys it's brendan here bb's ipod touch up today i'll be giving you guys a review on the new ipad mini let's start off with the design the ipad mini comes in a black and slate model and a white and silver model as you see i have the black and slate model which i prefer over the white and silver model but that's all personal preference on the bottom we have the lightning port which is nice because all apple products are switching to that so of course it's reversible smaller and just a lot better looking headphone jack is actually at the top of the ipad mini i was kind of disappointed in that just because the iphone five they switched to the bottom and i was just expecting it to be down there but again that's personal preference and nothing really that's gonna make a difference let's take a look at the cameras on the front we have the 720p hd front facing camera that you would use for facetime or just some self-portraits then on the back we have the 5 megapixel rear facing camera which takes awesome quality pictures and records in 1080p video moving along to the display as we know the ipad mini does not have the retina display with that being said it is not near as bad as people are making it out to be or near as bad as you would think it has the 1024 by 768 resolution which is the same as the ipad 1 and 2. and like i said the lack of retina display is really not a big deal for me at all because you can hardly notice it now you could tell the difference from non-retina display and retina display when it went from the ipad 2 to the ipad 3 but going from the ipad 3 to the ipad mini it really doesn't stand out as much because of the smaller screen on the ipad mini on the inside of the ipad mini we have the a5 chip not the a5x chip like we have on the ipad 3 and 4 but it's still zippy fast games play well the apps open quick and everything is just a smooth right along process and one of the things people seem to love about this ipad mini is that it has siri something that some people may have already had for a long time but with the new product and possibly a new os some people may have not had ios 6 when they use siri so there are some new commands and bug fixes who won the world series the giants swept the tigers four inches the world series to zero they won the last game four to three who won the last super bowl the giants narrowly defeated the patriots by a score of 21 to 17 on february 5th 2012. as far as battery life goes apple advertises around 10 hours and they are pretty spot on because i got around 9.5 to 9.7 hours and probably one of the biggest things about the ipad mini of course is its size and just the fact that you could easily hold the ipad mini with one hand and use the other hand to browse and do emails and things like that i actually prefer my ipad over my laptop a lot of the times when i'm out watching tv or out you know at a library or at school or something like that so all in all the ipad mini is very fun to use it's fast it shoots good quality pictures and videos has great battery life and the biggest thing of all is that it is so portable you get the full ipad experience on a smaller and more portable ipad there's nothing better than that and there are only a couple of cons i could come up with and neither of these two pertain to me but the first one being that it is expensive it's 329 for the 16 gig wi-fi and it's 459 if you want to add cellular data and the only other con is the retina display which again i don't notice a difference but i'm sure somebody out there with a microscope or something will find that it doesn't never have to display but again it's not a big difference to me so to answer a question i've gotten quite a bit um am i dropping my ipad 3 for the ipad mini and the answer is yes most definitely the reason i'm selling the ipad 3 and keeping the ipad mini is because of the portability that's the number one thing i get the full ipad experience on the ipad mini except for the ipad mini it's just so much more fun to use it's so much more portable and i could just see myself taking it places where i couldn't see me taking the ipad 3. and again the speed on this ipad mini is fast of course it may not be just as fast as the ipad 3 but it is very fast and everything runs smoothly so that is my review for the ipad mini let me know what you think down in the comment section below do you have an ipad mini you want to get an ipad mini uh just let me know i'm interested to see what you guys think i think apple's going to have a big seller on this ipad mini i think it's going to sell a lot more than the ipad 3 did just because of the portability and the price and everything like that but anyway thanks for watching guys i'll catch you later peacewhat's going on guys it's brendan here bb's ipod touch up today i'll be giving you guys a review on the new ipad mini let's start off with the design the ipad
