iPad mini 8 just proved me.. WRONG! — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Apple finally redesigned the iPad mini.
2. 0:02So, is it as good of a redesign [music]
3. 0:05as this one was in 2021?
4. 0:08Well, we are going to compare everything
5. 0:11[music] from the design, the new
6. 0:12display, the speaker upgrade, the
7. 0:15performance with the new chip, and much
8. 0:18more. And honestly, guys, I'm very
9. 0:20excited for this new iPad mini. I
10. 0:23absolutely love the size, and [music]
11. 0:27now that they've made it thinner, let's
12. 0:29check it out. Okay, it feels good. Let's
13. 0:32take this thing off.
14. 0:34Doesn't say iPad mini on the back
15. 0:36anymore. Okay, I could feel the weight
16. 0:38difference.
17. 0:39Oh, yeah. And the the thinnest factor.
18. 0:43This is crazy. It is actually very
19. 0:45noticeable. It looks so clean on the
20. 0:48back. Look at the camera bump. It looks
21. 0:51larger because they changed uh the edge
22. 0:54on there. The flash is really big. And
23. 0:56looking at the bottom, where are the
24. 0:59speaker holes? I'm really excited to
25. 1:01hear the audio, but look up top here.
26. 1:03We're missing those as well. The Apple
27. 1:05Pencil connector is smaller as well, and
28. 1:09it's noticeably thinner when you take a
29. 1:11look at it. And also not as wide. Let me
30. 1:14line [music] this up right here. You
31. 1:16guys see that difference? Guys, I don't
32. 1:18know how they made the mini even more
33. 1:20mini, but it feels fantastic in the
34. 1:23hand. And look at this bezel difference,
35. 1:25guys. It is really dramatic. Um not only
36. 1:30is it thinner, but look at the radius on
37. 1:32the outside. They finally changed it, so
38. 1:35it's perfectly even instead of having a
39. 1:38little thin short radius here compared
40. 1:40to the outside. It just looks so clean
41. 1:43and nice and minimal. I don't know if
42. 1:44you guys could tell the hidden camera
43. 1:46that looks smaller. We'll test that out.
44. 1:48And also, we have the hidden speaker
45. 1:51grills that I literally can't even see
46. 1:54from this angle right here at the tops.
47. 1:57So, with that said, let's go and compare
48. 1:59the speakers.
49. 2:16>> [music]
50. 2:19>> Let me know your thoughts down below,
51. 2:21but to me, the new one sounds a lot
52. 2:24better, which is awesome even without
53. 2:25those speaker holes.
54. 2:27Um the separation of frequencies sound
55. 2:29better. With the old iPad, I don't know
56. 2:31if it's just the design or the speakers
57. 2:33in there, all the frequencies kind of
58. 2:35clash together
59. 2:36uh a little bit tinny in the vocals,
60. 2:38where the new one all the highs in the
61. 2:41vocals are coming through the grills.
62. 2:43The woofers are underneath the display
63. 2:45and it kind of vibrates. The bass sounds
64. 2:48good. I mean, it just sounds
65. 2:49surprisingly good and there's no chance
66. 2:51of the speaker grills getting filled
67. 2:53with dust. And with that, this thing is
68. 2:55IP67 rated for waterproofing. First time
69. 2:59in a tablet, they have done such a good
70. 3:02job. And now let's get into the displays
71. 3:04and honestly, I am shocked by this new
72. 3:07OLED display. Right now, I had to lower
73. 3:10the brightness of this one more so to
74. 3:13match and the viewing angle difference
75. 3:15looking from the side is huge. The OLED
76. 3:18looks so good. Set to 100% brightness.
77. 3:24That's bright.
78. 3:25Set to 100% brightness.
79. 3:28All right, guys. Oh my goodness. So I
80. 3:32don't know what you guys could see a
81. 3:33difference. We might have to turn that
82. 3:35thing down. Uh but we have 500 nits
83. 3:39versus 600 in normal mode, but to my
84. 3:42eyes, the difference looks even bigger.
85. 3:44I mean, this is impressively bright. It
86. 3:46looks like a 2 300 nit difference.
87. 3:49[music] Now looking at him like this, I
88. 3:51can also notice that the new one is a
89. 3:54lot less reflective. It's less of a
90. 3:56mirror. And now looking at HDR video,
91. 4:00I mean, this is shocking, especially at
92. 4:02my angle, but even from above, the OLED
93. 4:05has true HDR,
94. 4:07where you actually have per pixel
95. 4:09lighting instead of one panel evenly.
96. 4:12The colors look great. The pop and the
97. 4:15detail looks really, really good. I
98. 4:18mean, this is a much bigger difference
99. 4:20than I expected, and this is just normal
100. 4:22video
101. 4:23[music] that isn't with pure blacks in
102. 4:26the background. We're looking at 1,200
103. 4:29nits on the new iPad compared to 500,
104. 4:34and it feels like they almost gave it a
105. 4:36tandem OLED display, but they didn't
106. 4:38have to. This OLED is just fantastic. It
107. 4:42looks like you're looking at tandem. And
108. 4:44now in a dark environment, I mean, the
109. 4:46difference is even more shocking. Maybe
110. 4:50we'll shoot some shots from the side
111. 4:52angle so you guys could see how gray the
112. 4:54LCD panel is. The blacks just aren't
113. 4:57black, they're gray. From the top
114. 4:59camera, you guys could see how the
115. 5:00highlights just pop and the gradation is
116. 5:03changing. The image looks alive and real
117. 5:07compared to being flat. And I know you
118. 5:09guys don't see as big of a difference as
119. 5:10we do here,
120. 5:12but the difference is incredible. The
121. 5:14gray compared to the black,
122. 5:17this display is insanely good. And now
123. 5:21let's talk about the elephant in the
124. 5:23room.
125. 5:24Does it matter that the new iPad does
126. 5:27not have promotion? They're both still
127. 5:2960 Hz. Well, this is what maybe shocked
128. 5:32me the most because going through back
129. 5:34and forth, the OLED iPad mini feels just
130. 5:39so much smoother even though they're
131. 5:41both 60 Hz. You guys could see in the
132. 5:44slow motion shot as well how much
133. 5:46smoother it is, and it even jumped out
134. 5:49at me just having an app open and
135. 5:52closing it. It just looks smoother. It
136. 5:55looks like it's 90 Hz, maybe 100 Hz when
137. 5:58you're comparing it side by side. We did
138. 6:00an UFO test for refresh rate, and you
139. 6:03guys could see how crisp the OLED is.
140. 6:07You don't have that LCD smearing. It's
141. 6:09the same thing as with the new Pro LED
142. 6:11MacBooks.
143. 6:12OLED tech is just so much better. And
144. 6:15now that I've actually used this, held
145. 6:17in my hand, it just feels really, really
146. 6:20good. And I'm not disappointed like it
147. 6:23was before that it didn't come out with
148. 6:26Pro Motion. It looks awesome. And
149. 6:28honestly, even without getting into the
150. 6:31A20 Pro chip and other changes,
151. 6:34this screen difference alone is worth
152. 6:36the extra 100 bucks compared to what
153. 6:37Apple was just charging for this iPad
154. 6:40Mini. Now, before I get into
155. 6:42performance, I want to talk about the
156. 6:43cameras. Right now, I'm holding them in
157. 6:46landscape. You guys could see I'm
158. 6:48looking at the center.
159. 6:50My face is way off to the side with the
160. 6:52portrait one on the old iPad Mini. Uh
161. 6:54but other than that, even like this, I
162. 6:57could tell that the new camera is
163. 6:59sharper, has a wider aperture. It just
164. 7:01looks cleaner in general. And I think
165. 7:03having a landscape setup is definitely
166. 7:06really nice. We still have the
167. 7:08ultra-wide center stage that you can go
168. 7:10ahead and pop in. But let's take a look
169. 7:12at a video and the microphone because we
170. 7:15have a new mic that's actually cut out
171. 7:17on the screen. So this is the microphone
172. 7:19and video quality of the new iPad Mini
173. 7:22eight. This is in the cropped mode. And
174. 7:25this is the iPad Mini seven. I'm holding
175. 7:28it the same exact way. So let me know uh
176. 7:31which one looks better and also which
177. 7:34one sounds better as well. Now, for the
178. 7:36rear cameras, they actually have not
179. 7:38changed at all. They just look a little
180. 7:40bit different. [music] So with that,
181. 7:42let's get into performance. We're going
182. 7:44to start out with Geekbench seven. And
183. 7:46right here, we could see that massive
184. 7:48change in clock speeds from 3.78 GHz on
185. 7:52the A17 Pro to 4.93.
186. 7:55And with that, we have 12 gigs of RAM
187. 7:58compared to eight. Such a huge boost in
188. 8:02chips between these. I'm going to go
189. 8:03ahead and start out with the CPU
190. 8:05benchmark. Now, another thing that we
191. 8:07get with this is uh Wi-Fi 7. So, the
192. 8:11chipset's been updated. We got a lot of
193. 8:13nice little updates because we're
194. 8:15jumping so far ahead in chips, and it's
195. 8:18crazy that we have 2 nanometer in this
196. 8:21iPad. All right, guys, we have our
197. 8:23results. And look at the single core,
198. 8:252,699
199. 8:27compared to 4,034.
200. 8:30[music]
201. 8:30That's about a difference of 50 percent.
202. 8:34And then in multi-core, 7274 compared to
203. 8:3710,494.
204. 8:39That's around a 44 percent difference
205. 8:41right there. I mean, the performance is
206. 8:44huge. And keep in mind, this is the base
207. 8:46model that is binned. So, we actually
208. 8:48have five cores compared to six. And
209. 8:50now, let's go ahead and talk about
210. 8:52graphics. Let's run that because this
211. 8:55base model has the full unbinned seven
212. 8:57core GPU. All right, guys, look at this.
213. 9:01We have 22,220
214. 9:03compared to
215. 9:08That is almost triple the score. When do
216. 9:11we see that
217. 9:13with an upgrade? I mean, that is insane.
218. 9:16And that puts the price to perspective
219. 9:18once again. This once I had to raise all
220. 9:21the prices, 600 bucks.
221. 9:23I mean, the value is crazy. Now, this is
222. 9:26in metal. Let's go ahead and open up a
223. 9:29gaming benchmark. This is 3DMark, and
224. 9:31we're going to start out with Steel
225. 9:32Nomad Light.
226. 9:34Let's go ahead and open it up. You guys
227. 9:36can see the difference just looking at
228. 9:37it. We have nice, smooth motion compared
229. 9:41to choppy like stop motion looking
230. 9:44graphics. All right, guys, we have 10.1
231. 9:47frames per second compared to 26.3.
232. 9:51That's more than two and a half times
233. 9:53the frame rate that you're getting on
234. 9:55this new iPad. I mean, it's just
235. 9:57ridiculous increases
236. 9:59with this update. Now, the other one I
237. 10:02want to run is the Solar Bay extreme.
238. 10:05This will test out ray tracing, which we
239. 10:08have with this new chip. for this one,
240. 10:11we have 6.7 FPS, compared to 19.7.
241. 10:15That's practically three times
242. 10:17improvement. That is just one of the
243. 10:19biggest upgrades that we have seen from
244. 10:22one iPad to the next. That's massive.
245. 10:25And now I have Pulsemark open up right
246. 10:27here. They both have the same amount of
247. 10:29storage,
248. 10:30but if we're taking a look at the actual
249. 10:33performance, we have 825 on the right
250. 10:36compared to 1,200 and 1,600 read
251. 10:39compared to 2,039. So the storage also
252. 10:43improved. And next, I tested out their
253. 10:45AI tests for the neural engine here.
254. 10:49And even though the base model only has
255. 10:52a single neural engine instead of having
256. 10:55the dual, if you get the 512 gig
257. 10:57version, we still get a 43% difference
258. 11:01in performance, [music] 612 compared to
259. 11:03874.
260. 11:05So that gets better. And then if you're
261. 11:06doing some language models on here,
262. 11:09there's 12 that fit compared to nine
263. 11:12because we have eight gigs available
264. 11:13here to use compared to 4.2. So almost
265. 11:16double the RAM available to actually use
266. 11:19[music] for AI tasks. And as you saw,
267. 11:22running this small Qwen model, we
268. 11:24literally get more than double the
269. 11:26tokens per second running this language
270. 11:29model on here. So the AI performance is
271. 11:31vastly improved. So with all that
272. 11:33performance, it is a little bit
273. 11:35disappointing that we don't have 120 Hz
274. 11:37for gaming because the gaming
275. 11:40performance is insane. But there are
276. 11:42certain AAA games like in Dame Tax
277. 11:45[music] testing
278. 11:47where this new iPad can get about 60
279. 11:50FPS, [music] whereas even the A19 Pro
280. 11:53was at 40 and this iPad Mini would be
281. 11:55unplayable at roughly 20 frames per
282. 11:57second. So with this iPad, even the
283. 12:00toughest best games you can max out at
284. 12:0360 and then of course everything else is
285. 12:05going to be easy. And buying this new
286. 12:08iPad Mini 8, [music] you're going to
287. 12:10have this for years with insane
288. 12:12performance. It's going to last. You'll
289. 12:14do everything you needed to do. And now
290. 12:18that we've done done all this testing
291. 12:20and comparison,
292. 12:21this might be one of the best upgrades
293. 12:23with new devices that Apple launched
294. 12:25this year. Coming into it, we had a
295. 12:27little bit of disappointment. Of course,
296. 12:29prices have gone up on everything, even
297. 12:31the old ones. But putting all the
298. 12:33improvements into perspective, nothing
299. 12:35got worse. Everything got better, and
300. 12:37that is rare for a device. And [music]
301. 12:40just comparing the price differences, it
302. 12:42is so well worth spending the extra
303. 12:44money. Honestly, if I owned one of
304. 12:47these, I would be selling it used right
305. 12:49now, getting your 450 500 maybe 550 back
306. 12:54and spending the money to buy the new
307. 12:56OLED iPad Mini. I am just so impressed
308. 12:59with this. It might suck dropping 700
309. 13:02bucks on iPad Mini, but it is such an
310. 13:05amazing device after I have tested it. I
311. 13:07think Apple knocked it out of the park.
312. 13:10The usability, the weight
313. 13:12of this device and thinness, it is
314. 13:14amazing. This might be my favorite iPad
315. 13:17overall just for what you could do with
316. 13:19an iPad in the comfort. Now you guys let
