iPad Mini 5 Review With Apple Pencil



Guys today we are going to be taking a look at one of the world's best tablets the all-new iPad lays by with the Apple pencil now you may or may not have seen the awesome new features and cool things you can do with the iPads and Apple pencils so I'm going to cover that in this video but also stay until the end because I will show you five hand gestures that'll change your iPad game.

okay so guys let's get into it okay so here's what you can expect in the Box when unboxing your iPad Mini with Jen and first turn Apple pencil from the I store really nothing has changed and it's still very much the same packaging we've seen from Apple for years now first up is some documentation and the iconic Apple stickers are still there then our lightning to USB cable.

not USB see unfortunately then you're of course also get the USB power adapter your beautiful iPad really this one is in the gold color and finally, all of that is packaged in the iPad Mini box now in terms of the look and feel of the device nearly nothing has changed from previous generations, in fact, it looks almost identical.



 but it's the insights like the hard way and the Apple pencil capability that has changed more than anything so you pretty much have all the same button placement as previous models and a strong sturdy aluminum alloy back we also still have the dual microphones as well as a power button and then on the bottom built-in stereo speakers and the Lightning port, the speakers are great by the way and amazingly a 3.5 millimeter Alex Jack.

so the display compared to previous models is definitely something that has been updated because now it has something called true tone display and that basically adjusts the white balance to match the ambient lighting within your room or setting.

wherever it is you're using your iPad it is also brighter than previous models and has a much wider color display so playing games or having fun with graphics in any lighting scenario should be great overall the size of the iPad Mini is I think what draws a lot of people because it's only a hundred thirty-five millimeters wide by two hundred and three millimeters long it's also less than seven millimeters thick and weighs roughly 300 grams so it has a really great form factor because it's small compact easy to take around and still get a lot of things done on it I can put it in my handbag which is awesome my camera bag and of course a laptop bag.

so pretty much anything guys as you can see and again I think that is what draws a lot of people to the iPad Mini range now this is not necessarily something you look at when buying a tablet but still the iPad Mini 5th gen has an 8 megapixel back camera that's not too bad and then a 7 megapixel HD front-facing camera here are some shots that.

I took on the iPad and perhaps it's been a while since I've taken any pictures on its heathered but I must be honest I was actually pleasantly surprised with these so if you're asking about with your iPad Mini you can definitely get some decent shots with it Oh now onto the Apple pencil what you may or may not know is that with the 5th gen iPad Mini you can only use the first generation Apple pencil, unfortunately, the 2nd gen apple pencil is not compatible with this iPad Mini however the fact that you can even use an Apple pencil on the iPad mini's now is so dang awesomely and I think was a great move on Apple's pot I honestly didn't want to put the Apple pencil down once I'd started using it I just feel like it's.

so much more convenient for some reason and also it opens up a whole nother world of applications and design elements that we can use now because of the Apple pencil I must admit and I'm sure a lot of you will agree with me that the way you charge the first-gen Apple pencil is quite annoying however nowadays I think they do include a lightning adapter which is great [Music] onto the battery specs and Apple is notorious for not sharing the milliamp hours but it is estimated that the battery is roughly over 5,000 milliamp hours and Apple claims you will get 10 hours of good use from your iPad you will know by now that it charges via lightning ports it does not support wireless charging theoretically it also does not support fast charging Apple says that it doesn't but I have read some interesting articles about this online when you first get your iPad Mini it'll have iOS 12 installed on it, however.

I'm sure you are aware that iOS 13 is one on its way and I'm sure will soon be available for download without getting too technical another great update that Apple made was with the chip they now use a 12 Bionic chip which basically means the iPad is much faster and can process graphics a lot faster too so as I mentioned earlier this opens a whole new world of using other applications and being able to do so much more on your iPad it's honestly so epic and I think that's what makes this little iPad a beast although it may not look different from previous generations it definitely feels different it is a lot faster it has a better display Apple pencil capability.

I really think they did a great job guys and then these are some nifty hand gestures that make life a little bit easier so when pinching all five fingers together you will easily open up all the most recently used apps and if you swipe up on one of the applications it'll close it completely just as you see me doing here then next up is adding applications to your dock you literally.

just click and hold down then drag it to your dock and let go it makes accessing these applications so much quicker and convenient and also if you don't want any of these applications in the dock anymore you literally just click and hold and swipe them back up to put them on the home page this is another quick nifty one and it's if you want to go back home from an application you literally just grab all five fingers and pinch really quickly here it is again and it'll take you to the home page did you know that if you're in an application and you want to go to another open application.

you just take four or five fingers and swipe to the left or right just as you see me doing here finally for the niftiest one of them all if you find it a bit tough sometimes typing with your thumbs you can actually split the keyboard just like this all you simply do is hold your two thumbs down and separate the keyboard to put it back you do the same hold down and push together it's so simple guys and that is it, guys, if you enjoyed this video please feel more than welcome to like and subscribe you can also check out my other Apple-related videos right in here but thank you so much for watching and I will see you in the next one.
