Is the new iPad mini an iPhone Duo for half price? 🤔

Just 255 grams and 5.4mm thin, the new iPad mini is the lightest iPad ever made, complete with IP67 weather resistance, full Apple Pencil Pro support, and a stunning OLED display.

The catches? The display is capped at 60Hz, there’s no Face ID, and Apple binned the A20 Pro chip unless you step up to the 512GB model.

00:00you can buy one of these and an iphone 18 pro for the price of one of these new iphone
00:06duos but
00:06should you let's start with some of the pros from this new ipad mini and it starts with the new
00:10screen yes this is only a 60 hertz refresh rate screen here on the ipad mini and the iphone duo
00:16has promotion so 120 hertz but outside of that i think the screen here on the ipad does look better
00:20than the one here on the iphone duo it's also larger that extra one inch does make all the
00:25difference when you're consuming content and then the next pro is when you grab it and hold it it's
00:29so easy to fit in your hand you can use it just like you would a typical notebook it's 5
00:33.4 millimeters
00:34thin however it's about as thin as the iphone duo but it weighs less 255 grams it's like you're
00:39holding regular iphone 18 pro and then there's what they've done to the chassis itself it's now ip67
00:43water and dust resistant they've done that by removing the speaker holes at the top and the
00:48bottom of the device to the speakers it's in something called an acoustic display if you turn
00:51it all the way up it vibrates a little bit it does sound a tiny little bit muffled the louder
00:55you go
00:55but overall it's pretty good and then there's the performance it's kind of like the display it's a
00:59pro and a con i mean you're getting an a20 pro chip it's the flagship smartphone chip but they've
01:03binned it what does that mean well the base models the 128 gigabyte the 256 gigabyte don't get the
01:08fully fledged six core cpu and the dual 16 core neural processors they're stuck inside this 512
01:15gigabyte variant the argument is you may not need it starting at just over a thousand dollars here in
01:19australia the ipad mini oled does a really good job of taking the best things of the iphone duo that
01:24you
01:24maybe missed out on if you bought an 18 pro or pro max putting it into a tablet that you
01:28can literally
01:28slip in your pocket
01:29you
