    Now that we have the new and improved
  • 00:00:01
    iPad 11 and the new iPad Mini 7, which
  • 00:00:05
    one is the better option? Well, let's
  • 00:00:07
    talk about
  • 00:00:11
    it. One big difference is the iPad 11
  • 00:00:14
    starts at
  • 00:00:15
    $349 or even less depending on where you
  • 00:00:18
    get it from, where the new iPad Mini,
  • 00:00:20
    it's at
  • 00:00:21
    $499. But I've already seen that on sale
  • 00:00:24
    as much as $100 off, which makes these
  • 00:00:27
    even closer in price. Kind of
  • 00:00:29
    interesting how on one they added the
  • 00:00:31
    word mini, on the other they got rid of
  • 00:00:34
    all the text. The good thing is both of
  • 00:00:36
    these start with 128 gigabytes of
  • 00:00:38
    storage instead of the previous 64. They
  • 00:00:41
    also can now go up to 512 GB of storage.
  • 00:00:45
    As well on the iPad mini, you still have
  • 00:00:47
    an 8.3 in IPS display with 1488x 2266
  • 00:00:53
    resolution. The iPad 11 has the same
  • 00:00:55
    10.9 in IPS LCD display at 1640 by 2360
  • 00:01:01
    resolution. Of course, they're calling
  • 00:01:03
    it 11 in now because it sounds better
  • 00:01:06
    than 10.9, but both of these are also 60
  • 00:01:09
    Hz refresh rate. They both have 500
  • 00:01:12
    brightness, so plenty bright enough for
  • 00:01:14
    most things in my opinion. Only the mini
  • 00:01:16
    is fully laminated though, so probably a
  • 00:01:18
    better option if you do a lot of
  • 00:01:20
    drawing. But both of these are nice
  • 00:01:21
    options for watching shows, movies,
  • 00:01:24
    playing games, pretty much anything you
  • 00:01:26
    would need to on a tablet. To me, the
  • 00:01:28
    mini is probably a little more
  • 00:01:29
    comfortable to use because of the
  • 00:01:31
    smaller size. But once you put these
  • 00:01:33
    next to each other, they're actually
  • 00:01:34
    going to look very similar as far as
  • 00:01:36
    contrast, viewing angles. If you're
  • 00:01:39
    watching a lot of movies, I can see the
  • 00:01:40
    iPad 11 being a better option. But if
  • 00:01:43
    you want your tablet to feel more like a
  • 00:01:45
    book, it's going to be tough to beat the
  • 00:01:46
    iPad mini. So, obviously a lot of things
  • 00:01:48
    to consider on which one has the better
  • 00:01:51
    display, but both of these actually look
  • 00:01:53
    really good in person in my opinion. I
  • 00:01:55
    know there's a lot of variables when it
  • 00:01:57
    comes to battery life, but after running
  • 00:01:59
    the same battery drain test at 100%
  • 00:02:02
    screen brightness, the iPad Mini 7
  • 00:02:04
    lasted about 6 hours versus 5 1/2 for
  • 00:02:07
    the iPad 11. Obviously, you can get
  • 00:02:09
    quite a bit longer than that once you
  • 00:02:11
    turn the screen brightness down. But if
  • 00:02:13
    you want the iPad with slightly better
  • 00:02:15
    battery life, you might want to go with
  • 00:02:17
    the mini, but they're definitely close
  • 00:02:18
    enough that I don't think you can go
  • 00:02:20
    wrong with either one. When it comes to
  • 00:02:22
    the software, these two are going to be
  • 00:02:23
    almost identical considering they're
  • 00:02:25
    both on iPad OS 18. It's also nice to
  • 00:02:28
    have a fingerprint scanner or Touch ID
  • 00:02:30
    right on the power button for both of
  • 00:02:32
    these, which is always nice to have on
  • 00:02:34
    any tablet. Nice thing is you've got
  • 00:02:36
    video out for both of these. So you can
  • 00:02:39
    connect to an external monitor, TV or a
  • 00:02:41
    projector with an HDMI adapter. You can
  • 00:02:44
    also use the USBC Apple Pencil on both
  • 00:02:47
    of these. One advantage with the iPad
  • 00:02:49
    mini is you can use the new Apple Pencil
  • 00:02:51
    Pro where the only other pencil that
  • 00:02:53
    works on the iPad 11 is the first gen
  • 00:02:56
    Apple Pencil. But both of these are good
  • 00:02:58
    options for taking notes, drawing, or
  • 00:03:00
    just moving around the software. One
  • 00:03:02
    thing to keep in mind is the iPad 11 is
  • 00:03:05
    probably a little easier to use in most
  • 00:03:07
    cases because of the larger screen. It's
  • 00:03:09
    a little easier to see things. But of
  • 00:03:11
    course, it's going to be a personal
  • 00:03:12
    preference. I know I've heard some
  • 00:03:14
    people say the iPad Mini is too close to
  • 00:03:16
    a cell phone size, even though it's
  • 00:03:18
    actually quite a bit bigger. But of
  • 00:03:20
    course, it's going to come down to
  • 00:03:21
    personal preference on which one is
  • 00:03:23
    better. When it comes to performance,
  • 00:03:25
    both of these are actually really good
  • 00:03:26
    and have a nice improvement over the
  • 00:03:28
    previous models. One advantage for the
  • 00:03:30
    iPad Mini is you've got 8 GB of RAM with
  • 00:03:33
    the A17 Pro chip versus 6 GB of RAM for
  • 00:03:37
    the iPad 11 that has the A16 chip. So,
  • 00:03:40
    of course, the Geekbench scores are
  • 00:03:42
    going to be better for the iPad mini,
  • 00:03:44
    but I still think the iPad 11 is pretty
  • 00:03:46
    impressive when it comes to performance
  • 00:03:49
    considering the price. Both of these
  • 00:03:51
    have really good performance whether
  • 00:03:52
    multitasking or playing games. You can
  • 00:03:55
    also do some video editing on both of
  • 00:03:57
    these. I think the mini is a little
  • 00:03:59
    easier to handle while gaming. It's
  • 00:04:01
    definitely a little easier to reach
  • 00:04:03
    things on the screen, but both of these
  • 00:04:04
    are a good option for gaming. The iPad
  • 00:04:07
    11 might be a little easier if you're
  • 00:04:09
    going to be using a controller most of
  • 00:04:10
    the time. But really, you can't go wrong
  • 00:04:12
    with either one when it comes to
  • 00:04:14
    performance and gaming. As far as
  • 00:04:16
    speakers go, you've got one on each
  • 00:04:18
    side, even though it looks like two for
  • 00:04:20
    both of these. I think they sound pretty
  • 00:04:22
    similar when putting them next to each
  • 00:04:24
    other. But here's a quick sample just to
  • 00:04:26
    see if you can hear a
  • 00:04:36
    difference. Your eyes fade to gray as
  • 00:04:40
    you fade away.
  • 00:04:42
    [Music]
  • 00:04:46
    As you fade
  • 00:04:51
    away, as you fade
  • 00:04:53
    [Music]
  • 00:04:59
    [Applause]
  • 00:05:04
    [Music]
  • 00:05:08
    away, now when it comes to the cameras,
  • 00:05:11
    they're going to be pretty similar as
  • 00:05:12
    the previous versions with a 12
  • 00:05:15
    megapixel camera on the front and 12
  • 00:05:17
    megapixel on the back as well. Although
  • 00:05:19
    one difference is the camera's on the
  • 00:05:21
    short end for the iPad mini around the
  • 00:05:22
    front and it's on the long edge for the
  • 00:05:25
    iPad 11. They can also shoot up to 4K 60
  • 00:05:27
    frames per second for video recording as
  • 00:05:30
    well. So, you could use either one for
  • 00:05:32
    Zoom meetings or other video conference
  • 00:05:34
    calls. It might just be a little bit
  • 00:05:36
    better on the iPad 11 because of the
  • 00:05:38
    larger screen and the camera placement.
  • 00:05:41
    But here's a few quick samples just to
  • 00:05:43
    give you an idea of how they
  • 00:05:46
    [Music]
  • 00:05:54
    compare. So, as you can see, there's
  • 00:05:56
    definitely some things that make the
  • 00:05:57
    iPad Mini a better option for some
  • 00:06:00
    people. I think it's still one of the
  • 00:06:02
    best small tablets out there. But then
  • 00:06:04
    with the iPad 11, it's probably one of
  • 00:06:06
    the best, more affordable tablets that
  • 00:06:08
    you can get right now, especially
  • 00:06:10
    considering the performance and that
  • 00:06:12
    you've got two different Apple Pencils
  • 00:06:14
    that you can use. I know for me, after
  • 00:06:16
    comparing these two, if you told me I
  • 00:06:18
    could only have one of them, it would be
  • 00:06:19
    a pretty tough choice for me to make
  • 00:06:21
    really because I like both of these.
  • 00:06:23
    They're definitely more than good enough
  • 00:06:25
    for most people looking for a new iPad
  • 00:06:27
    or any tablet in general really. But if
  • 00:06:30
    you like tablet comparisons, phones, and
  • 00:06:33
    other tech, I've got a lot more stuff
  • 00:06:34
    that I'm working on as usual. So, keep
  • 00:06:37
    an eye out for those upcoming videos.
  • 00:06:45
    [Music]
  • 00:06:55
    All right.

    [Music]
