The iPad lineup is getting pretty crowded lately with the iPad, the iPad Air, the iPad

Pro, and this new 2019 iPad Mini that Apple just released.

To get any real work done, you'll still need a laptop or a desktop computer, but sometimes

it's nice to have a bigger screen to read or watch movies on.

Today though, we'll be assessing the durability and build quality of the littlest iPad.

You already know how the iPad Pro handled this durability test.

Let's hope the Apple's iPad Mini is built a bit stronger.

You might be thinking to yourself, 'Man, that iPad Mini looks kind of old.

The exterior design hasn't changed much in the last 7 years.

It has that lightning port on the bottom instead of USB-C, but does come with a fast charger

in the box...something that Apple has yet to include with their iPhones.

The overall appearance of the new iPad Mini is the same as it was back in 2012, with its

large bezels and curved edges, but if it works, it works.

I'll use my set of Mohs mineral picks to check the hardness level of the front surface.

We've seen clear plastic screens scratch at a level 3.

Glass screens would scratch at a level 6, and sapphire screens, like the Kyocera DuraForce

The iPad Mini 5 looks like it's covered in tempered glass since we see the industry standard

scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7.

The 7 megapixel selfie camera is up here in the top Texas-sized bezel protected with the

Little guy is unable to do face unlock, but does film in 1080p.

The bottom bezel includes some hardware we haven't seen since 2015 – a physical clicky

Yeah, it's still scratch resistant and does that fingerprint scanning thing.

Apple must just have a bunch of old parts they're trying to get rid of with this new

The gold colored 2019 iPad Mini is made from metal, along with both of the volume buttons

Speaking of old school hardware, let's welcome back the headphone jack.

Apple trying to milk an old design for more money does have it's perks for the rest of

Maybe they'll bring back the iPhone SE this year too.

The iPad Mini does have one little microphone hole up at the top, but we'll come back to

We have more metal over here on the left side of the tablet.

You can see that silver glinting through under the gold anodizing.

The bottom of the iPad Mini has dual stereo speakers and the same lightning port that

Apple's been using for the past seven years.

We should see an update to USB-C at some point.

One thing I am glad to see though is that there's no weak points along either of the

The longer and thinner something is, the more prone it might be to breaking like the iPad

With it's microphone cutout on one side, and wireless charging dock for the Apple pencil

on the other side, it made an already fragile piece of tech even weaker.

That's probably why people were getting brand new tablets bent right out of the box.

The iPad Mini doesn't have any of these builtin deformities on the long sides, just the one

microphone hole up at the top on the short side.

Hopefully this helps the iPad Mini survive the rest of this test.

The 8 megapixel 1080p capable rear facing camera is a circular inlay with no protruding

Apple doesn't mention sapphire on their website for this iPad Mini, but judging by my diamond

selector tool and scratches at levels 6, 7, and 8, they're using the same material they've

One thing that has improved with this year's model is the front of the tablet is now compatible

with the Apple pencil 1 - also 4 years old at this point.

The back side of the tablet is also compatible with the Apple pencil if you believe in yourself,

but I recommend something a little sharper.

I asked on Twitter a few days ago what people wanted to learn from Art Class with Jerry

As somewhat of an expert in fine razor blade art, I'll do my best.

And here we are...Thanos eating an apple.

Not sure if this is pre or post universal destruction, but it looks to me like Thanos

One thing you can add to your tablet before it gets scratched or after it gets scratched,

This particular skin camouflages not only the scratches, but also the Apple logo...effectively

debranding the tablet, making it perfectly balanced as all things should be.

I'll put a link in the description so you can customize your own phone or tablet.

Thanks to dbrand for sponsoring this video.

One thing that Apple changed with version 4, and subsequently this version 5, is the

outer glass is now glued to the LCD screen underneath it, making screen repairs quite

Replacing the front glass on the iPad Mini 3 only cost about $20.

Once Apple started laminating the glass to the LCD, the repair price skyrocketed to the

point where people just live with cracked screens nowadays.

After about 16 seconds of intense flame, the 7.9 inch LCD pixels go black and turn off,

but do eventually come back to life and make a full recovery...hopefully like the Avengers

The iPad Pro failed my bend test catastrophically, and it's time now to see if the miniature

With the initial flex the tablet moves easily into an extremely compromised obtuse angle,

but then locks out and amazingly retains full functionality.

I'm impressed that Apple has found a way to defy physics.

The tablet is still fully functional despite the massive bend, and this isn't even a flexible

I'll try bending the iPad Mini 5 back the other direction, and it pops into place...mostly,

but does not allow any flex towards the screen size.
