iPad Mini with Retina Display Unboxing

2013-11-12
what's up everyone John Britton Jeff and TechnoBuffalo here's an unboxing of the latest mini tablet from Apple it is the iPad Mini now all dolled up with Retina display let's go ahead take a first look so here's the box for the new iPad Mini with Retina display oh I'm just gonna call it iPad Mini because with Retina displays two-minute words looks very familiar almost the same box as the outgoing Mini in fact on the side it just says iPad Mini only spot you'll find with the Retina display is actually down here what I'll say with Retina display we've got the 16 gig model here in space grey or silver rather it's also available in space grey but I can go up to 128 gigs pricing is gonna range from 399 - all the way up to 830 and I'm bringing in for special unboxing a special old friend the obligatory big oil unboxing knife so go ahead and cut the plastic hopefully not slice any fingers in the process this is available today shipping from Apple is about one to three days as of filming for the lower capacity Wi-Fi model is about five to ten days for the higher capacity Wi-Fi models or any ones with LTE so go ahead and slide this off I use my iPad Mini quite a bit and I always thought it was lacking the Retina display so I'm really excited to take a look at this guy and here is the tablet and it feels almost identical to the way the outgoing then you felt and push it off the side for a quick second I bet we've got a very familiar friends in here we've got your wall work designed by Apple in California see what's in there just for fun iPad Mini info and some stickers in the back and then just your lightning cable and that is it push all that off to the side let's take a look at our friend here is the iPad Mini with a Retina display I will pull this off first quick set and we'll run through all the specs before I do that why don't we take a look at what the outgoing iPad Mini looked like go ahead and pull this right here and they look almost identical from the bezel size to the top size to everything if you hold them all upside down you really can't tell difference other than my old ones a little bit on the scratch side so from a design standpoint pretty much identical so let's go ahead and power the sucker on we'll run through all the specs so you've got that same at 7.9 inch screen but now it's 2048 by 1536 PPI giving it a PPI of 324 it's really curious if that looks like on the smaller screen it's got the a7 chip in it now in 64-bit architecture and the m7 motion coprocessor so essentially spectra spec the same as the iPhone 5s and the iPad air although it is that 1.1 a gigahertz slower clock speed than we saw with the iPad air I think it's a 1.3 versus 1.4 no external storage option but again even Galli up to 128 starting at 16 5 megapixel camera on the back I've got a FaceTime HD camera living right there 802 11 a B G and n well oddly AC is missing same through gripes I had with the air and no touch ID here Bluetooth 4.0 as well and it weighs 331 and grams let me go ahead and power it on go through the whole setup process we'll come back here in just a minute so we've got this all booted up and it's a subtle difference you don't notice it as big as I thought I did from the iPad 2 to the iPad 3 things look a little bit crisper but on a scroll smaller screen it's not as sort of noticeable as it was with that larger generation but let me bring in the older iPad Mini and let's compare at least some text we've got TechnoBuffalo queued up on each the brightness is set to the same on both as you can see what text looks like and it does look definitely crisper on the iPad Mini with Retina display so you'll see a big difference so when we're playing games or watching videos probably where the whren display is really going to shine but at least side by side you can see what they look like we'll pull this one off to the side here for just a quick second for design comparison purposes let me bring in an iPad air and the air looks like a bigger iPad Mini now which I really like the design of the mini so I think Apple is smart to do the same thing with the air and if you stack them you can see the thickness of each they're both are really thin very very light tablets in their own regard so we'll do a full review of the iPad means Retina Display run it through all its tests full paces or anything I don't you guys know if it's worth your tablet dollar anything you guys want to see particularly though leave it in the comments down below I won't be sure to show you until next time I'm John Ranger from TechnoBuffalo and I'll see you guys the next video buh-bye what's up everyone its Ashlee thanks so much for watching that most recent video if you enjoyed it please click on the words subscribe right underneath me to get tons of more tech videos from us here at TechnoBuffalo we've got unboxings comparisons reviews recaps and everything else you can think of here on the channel if you're in the mood for more technology just click right over here to check out some of our most recent videos see you next time humans
