hey guys johnathan your TLD hope you guys are doing well I am back with an unboxing at Li just released and might I add surprised announced iPad Mini with Retina display which I'm sure some of you guys are asking when the heck did that go on sale most of us thought I think because Apple said sometime later this month that that meant the latter part of November but Tim Cook had different plans and said guess what yo as of 12 a.m. Pacific Standard Time November 12 2013 the iPad Mini is on sale go get it nonetheless I have both the silver slash white and Space Gray slash black models to unbox and compare just as I did with the full-size iPad air which if you did miss I'll have the annotated somewhere up here and also linked down below just in case you're watching on a mobile device for your viewing convenience now I'm sure most of you guys have seen your share of iPad and boxing so I'm not going to put you through the exact same thing twice on both of these boxes one is solely for reference and comparison so it's going to move this off to the side for now and focus on the Space Gray iPad Mini with Retina display so we'll begin by giving the Box a little shake and bake pop the cap and see what's under the hood we of course have the iPad Mini up top Apple always does an excellent job with their packaging and presentation you just simply grab this little tab right here and we'll set that up to the side just for a moment while we check out the accessories now just like any iPad unboxing there's not a whole lot of content or accessories that come with in the box but as far as what we do have we can see there's a designed by Apple in California packet which is going to include some literature so we'll go ahead and open that on up and know top we see the iPad Mini Quick Start Guide which is basically going to give you a rundown if you're not familiar with the device you're sleep/wake button your switches your volume buttons everything of that nature that is followed by the iPad Mini info tab and last but not least we have the Apple stickers which I always like to ask how many do you own fun fact actually don't have one single Apple sticker placed on anything that I own next up we have the USB to lightning cable notes and you guys have not seen before this simply plugs into your iPad to sync to your computer or to charge and like I note it in my full-size iPad air unboxing there are also no signs of headphones or ear pods in this as well which is slightly disappointing considering the amount of money you pay for these devices I'm going to set this back down and check out last but certainly not least accessory the USB wall brick which is actually 10 watts as opposed to the 12 watt version on the full-size iPad air so we'll go to get this out of the way and actually move on to the meat and potatoes of the video and we'll go ahead and check out the iPad Mini and you guys are getting me full on raw experience I wanted this a little more live just because I'm a really big fan of the iPad Mini form factor but that screen before really kind of killed it for me so I'm really looking forward to the actual Retina display and I actually want to give you guys my initial impressions and reactions of what I think so far so we're going to address it if you will I'm a huge fan of the space great color as well definitely prefer that over the slate on the previous iPad Mini we got the five megapixel camera on the back shoots 1080p Apple logo iPad down here we got the Lightning port and we'll go ahead and turn the sucker around and power it on so you guys are getting me full on boot-up and a walk through experience it let me know what you guys think of this style I tend to do more polish videos but if you guys like the more traditional laid back videos I definitely can consider that and possibly will do more of those as well so let's go to slide to set it up we want to go to English of course if your language is different you're gonna want to do something different this being the United States we'll select that we're going to go and choose a Wi-Fi network and I actually don't have this memorized so give me one moment and we are good to go with the whiffy if you guys have seen that new a commercial let me know that as an awesome commercial actually had a similar experience in Best Buy today I asked them do you guys have an iPad Mini smart case in stock they looked at me and said no but the iPad air case is the exact same size and I kind of just wanted to smash my face in the desk in frustration because I really don't know how some of these people can work there anyways we're going to go to enable location services set up as new iPad because I am NOT restoring it but of course if you are restoring it good and do that we're going to skip the Apple ID for now just want to move this video along so are you sure you want to skip yes I do next up we have the Terms & Conditions and you guys really read all this let me know with a comment down below who sits there and reads all this even though I don't we probably all should agree agree create a passcode let's go one two one two eally high profile are you sure you want to use this code yes I do reenter your passcode 1 2 1 2 we want to use Siri this as far as Diagnostics I usually turn off so I put don't send you can do the same as well I don't think we need that and it's going to say welcome to iPad so we're going to tap here to get started and there we are all booted up into iOS 7 so now that we have both booted up we can do a little comparison talk about the pros and cons of each color and I got to say from first impressions the Retina display on the iPad Mini is much much much much nicer from the previous non Retina display on the first iPad Mini which was 1024 by 768 and we are now looking at 2048 by 1536 the exact same as the full-size iPad air which is nine point seven inches whereas this is seven point nine so there's more pixels packed into a smaller area the iPad Mini also does feature the same a7 processor found in the iPad air and iPhone 5s from what I've seen though the iPad Mini is clocked the exact same as the iPhone 5s whereas the iPad air is slightly overclocked giving it a little edge in terms of performance but I'm willing to guess those exact differences in terms of everyday use isn't going to be a huge difference we of course also do not see a touch ID fingerprint reader on this or the iPad air that is exclusive to the iPhone 5s at the moment you do however have a front-facing 720p FaceTime HD camera on the front as you guys can see right here it's a little easier to see on the white model and as far as the differences between the colors I've always liked the classic look of the silver and white it just looks really nice and clean but I always tend to lean towards the black model just because when you're watching content consuming media you tend to get a little more immersed into the content because of the black bezels whereas the white bezels can be a little bit distracting these of course do ship with iOS 7 which will not completely sold on yet and in terms of actual tablet OSS I think there's still a lot of work to be done before I'm completely sold on that so we do of course have your notifications everything runs buttery smooth because of the a7 processor these also do feature the m7 coprocessor although I'm not really sure how useful that would be on a tablet because it's not like a phone we're going to be carrying it in your pocket although you could technically pocket an iPad Mini so what you guys think what could an m7 processor be useful on on a tablet especially more so the iPad air let me know with a comment down low low so real quickly we'll go to jump over to a quick rear-facing camera test so here we are with a quick rear-facing 1080p test it is completely dark outside so thus we are forced to do this inside it's also a mini desk tour I get a lot of requests for that if you guys want to see a full-fledged one let me know by hitting that like button so this is the Homer dome that you guys see in every single video I honestly don't know where I got them from it was actually a gift final link I would definitely show you guys most of the stuff you guys can find linked down below this is the logitech wireless keyboard that I use solar-powered very awesome Logitech MX mouse my favorite weapon of choice completely obliterates the Magic Mouse cannot go back to that we have the iPad Mini smart case that is coming up for review and these are the fou Cal XS speakers best set of desktop speakers that I've ever owned definitely check them out if you haven't so that wraps up this test let's go to jump back to the video and there you guys have it there is my unboxing and comparison hopefully you guys enjoyed the video if you did and you are feeling like being awesome make sure to hit that like button is much appreciated and in return you guys know what's coming a virtual high five at your face I'm really excited to test out the iPad Mini the only thing I am disappointed with is the price I really thought they should have stuck with the same 329 price tag it was kind of weird paying 400 plus bucks for an iPad Mini just kind of seemed wrong but I definitely will put it through its paces and bring you guys the full review so definitely let me know if you guys have any questions or what you want to see covered in the review and also let me know what your favorite color is and why do you prefer Space Gray in black or silver and white I would love to hear your guys opinions and comments as always if you guys have any questions definitely drop me a line down below but I know some of you guys really aren't digging the new Google+ comments so you guys can also hit me up on Twitter and Facebook which are also linked down below along with the gear that I use to create these videos aside from that thank you guys very much for watching this is Jonathan with TLD and I will see you guys later
