Hey friends good morning now just a very quick video today just to cover the
brilliant announcement of the brand new Apple iPad Mini 5 which Apple announced
like this this morning. Yes that's right of course that no Apple did not in fact
announce the iPad Mini 5 which a lot of us especially us pilots were really
kind of looking forward to. Now instead they announced there was a new MacBook
Air there are new updates to the Apple stores the new iPad pros and then Lana
Del Rey saying a nice song at the end. But we were left wondering well what
about the iPad Mini 5? iPad Mini 4 was released in September 2015 that's like
over three years ago so where's the update? Today we're announcing an all new
iPad pro it's gonna push what you can do on iPad or on any computer even further.
The new range of iPad Pros were released but are they any good for use in
aviation and for use by pilots in the cockpit? Well let's take a look through
some of the specs. Well the smallest size that you can get in the iPad pro now is
11 inches that's the diagonal measurements of the screen itself
compared to the 7 and a half inches which we have currently in the iPad Mini 4.
So it's a lot larger in terms of the physical size that will be occupied on
your lap. They all come with the new true depth camera which gives you face ID for
face unlocking. Now I'm not sure how useful that is in the cockpit.
I actually set my iPad Mini without a passcode so I can just press the home
button and it will unlock straight away. I haven't tried using face ID to unlock
a device in the cockpit. I don't know if it's going to be distracting I don't
know if you can disable that entirely and just unlock the iPad pros with a
single touch but depending on that and depending on how you like to lock and
unlock your iPads in the cockpit for having face ID and no physical home
button that might be a consideration for you. Yeah also it's raining this morning
so apologies if there's any drops. One of the key differences is the chip that's
inside so the new chip there's the A8 processor which is in the iPad Mini for
the new iPad pros have got the new A12X processors this is supposed to give
you three times the speed in terms of CPU performance and eight times the
speed in terms of graphics performance. So if you are running apps on the new
iPad Pros compared to the current versions
of the iPad minis in theory they should run a lot faster. The iPad pros come with
the new Apple pencil as well and I usually quite like using a stylus on an
iPad in the cockpit but I found that sometimes when you get the stylus on the
end of pencils it's a little bit fiddly. But this obviously is designed to
integrate properly with the iPad Pro. Also it's got the tap button on there
where you can activate some of the features so having that stylus for
writing things down like clearances could be quite useful in the cockpit.
Battery life between the iPad pro and the minis is exactly the same as
advertiser's up to 10 hours and then the pricing has been released now you can
pick up an iPad Mini 4 here in Australia for about 4 or $500 depending on whether
you want Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi and cellular. The new iPad pros the 11 inches starts at
799 dollars US dollars that is for just the Wi-Fi version or if you want
the Wi-Fi and cell version which I actually recommend when you're flying
because if you can't tether your iPad to your phone you want to get an actual
Internet signal whilst you're in the cockpit that's very useful at times,
US dollars is 949 here in Australia it's one thousand four hundred and forty nine
dollars for the base level that's the 64 gigabyte iPad pro 11 inches which is
quite a step up from what you'd be paying for the iPad Mini for at the moment.
So should you upgrade that's the question. Well to be honest with you
there could still be an announcement for a new iPad Mini 5 in the future. I think
sometimes what Apple do is they want to release the big items and then
afterwards they go and release some of the smaller items
so maybe just hang five if you are waiting for a smaller a newer smaller
version of the iPad Mini because that might be coming out soon. But if you do
want to upgrade to the iPad pro the best advice that I can give you is check with
whoever makes your electronic flight bag if that's AvPlan, Oz Runways, ForeFlight,
Sky Demon, whatever you use check with them that it's been tested to run
on the new hardware before buying the new hardware and trying to run the
software on there. Me personally, what I'm going to do is I'm gonna stick with my
iPad Mini 4 for the moment and it's mainly just because it runs the
applications fine there's no speed issues and the size to me just because
it's nice and compact in the cockpit that makes all the difference. So I'm
gonna stick with the iPad Mini 4 and if a new version comes out which has got
the pencil and some of those processor and speed upgrades then I'll probably
upgrade to the Mini 5 at that point. Okay that's it I hope
you found that useful thank you watching. Let me know in the comments below what
