I've always wanted one device that transforms for all my needs. I'm putting the iPad Mini 5th Generation 5G Cellular to the test... can it replace my phone & computer?

24-Hour Challenge (traveling) with ONLY an Apple Watch: czcams.com/video/SW3U7A3VxDY/video.html
I'm using my iPad at home and iPhone when I go out to extend the lifespan of the phone.
I wish the developers would update all apps to fit the screen perfectly.
This video really has me thinking about what I actually use my phone for that I couldn’t use an iPad and Apple Watch , like my phone bill would drop , still get my media content , only thing I would miss would be the convenience of the camera
First world problems be like:
I have thought about this same idea as well. I'm surprised there isn't a way to use a dialer app. Not sure if you have done the month challenge yet but one thing I would love to see/know is how well all of this works with just the iPad and the apple watch. I know you covered this a little bit but I would love to see you cover this in more detail - what gaps does the watch fill in that the iPad does do and visa versa. Things like NFC, payments, rewards cards etc?
Similarly, what gaps would there be with just the LTE watch and a non LTE ipad?
Great Video though!
Shervin, i love your personality on here, and the vibe of your vidoes! thanks for this. i'll definitely come back for more.
Good video, and I’m glad to see others are thinking about this. I was SOOO excited when Apple turned on phone calling for iPad. I’ve been wanting to get away from having a phone and separate larger screen (that’s bigger than the Max series of iPhones), and they’ve taken one step closer to that ideal.
I’ve been doing a similar experiment for about a month, where I leave my iPhone 11 at home while I carry my iPad Mini 6 with cellular, Apple Watch 6 with cellular, and EarPods Pro. I've found that for me, having the larger screen size with me all the time is a definite bonus. To carry it around, I use a small crossbody bag that fits the Mini perfectly in an external pocket so it’s easy to pull out when needed. When I have to use my slim backpack to carry my office laptop (which I have to do twice per week to be in-office), I still use the bag instead of transferring stuff from the bag into the backpack. If I’m running into the store to get something real quick, I’ll leave the iPad in the car, knowing that I have my wallet and my watch for payment and for a cellphone with EarPods if needed. If I’m doing major shopping, the crossbody and Mini come with me.
Hardware-wise, I’m not a professional camera type person and I find that the quality of the Mini 6 camera is good enough for me. Size-wise, it’s been interesting how I’ve gotten used to the larger size and have no trouble using it. App-wise, I send and receive SMS messages to and from both Android and iOS people so I’m not sure what the comments of “no SMS texting” are about. (You have to set it up on the iPhone, so maybe people don’t know that?) I use FaceTime audio to call people (using the EarPods and not holding the iPad to my head) and if they have an Apple device, we can FaceTime video if they want. Of all the apps I’ve used, I’ve found that there are only two that don’t work so far: Apple CarPlay (which is a definite bummer) and the McDonald’s app (though the Burger King app works fine so I can scratch that occasional junk food itch).
Occasionally I’ve picked up the iPhone and tried using it, but going back to that smaller screen is a real drag for me. I’m sticking with the iPad and my experiment for now.
Enjoyed the info on how u use the Mini as a phone. FaceTime audio I hadnt thought of. Only Telegram, TextNow (spammy) and Google Voice.
Hi, how did you set it on your iphone for the ipad to send sms? I can’t find any tutorial on that. That would be helpful. Thanks!
@@jerome5969 In settings on your iPhone, select Messages. Make sure your iMessage is turned on, and right below that is an option saying Send and Receive. Open that, and make sure the options at the top have checkmarks in front of them. For the options at the bottom, I left my cell phone as the only one selected with a checkmark. Exit out back to Messages and scroll down a little bit. You’ll see an option for Text Message Forwarding. Open that, and you should see all of the devices on your account that can receive text messages. Turn them on for whichever device(s) you want to receive messages. Close the Settings app. For good measure, restart your iPhone, and the devices that will be receiving messages so that they can read the new settings from the server. When I send messages to Android-using friends, the messages auto-convert to SMS, while maintaining iMessage capability for my iOS device friends.
Would this work the same if you only own the iPad mini and no iPhone?
@@katyjones8268 Interestingly enough, in the past I have had to leave my iPhone turned on while it was at home since I never carry it with me anymore. Your question intrigued me, so I did a little experiment. I turned off the iPhone, and now only have an iPad running. I did a test text from my work iPhone to my iPad Mini, and it went through successfully. (If I remember correctly, it used to be the iPhone would relay messages to the iPads. I guess they have taken another step forward and removed the iPhone from the connection chain.) I then tried a phone call from my work iPhone to my to my phone number. The call went through fine! Even more surprisingly, it came through my car Bluetooth connection (I’m testing in a parking lot far from my home). This is not to say that you don’t still need an iPhone somewhere along the way to help with the initial configuration of the iPad. I remember on the iPhone I had to set up the text forwarding before it would appear on my iPad. Perhaps, as time goes on, the iPad will become more standalone. Also, I think I should find someone with an Android and have them try to call and text me to see if it still works. It just gets better and better, doesn’t it!?
Best video I have seen so far trying to use an iPad mini as a phone! Great real world uses and explanations. Also very thought out by apple on its limits so you can’t only have the iPad.
THANK YOU! What other experiments do you want to see?
Seriously Apple is like buy EVERY product plz
@@ShervinShares What is your sunglasses model name and number if you don't mind asking?
I love the mix of the vlog / informative format! Excited to watch your journey 🤙🏾
Thank youuuu
Simply love it! The production value of this video is immense! Such an inspiration to watch it! Excellent job!
Thank you! What do you want to see next?
@@ShervinShares I had a scroll down of ur videos. It's amazing to see the development of your channel. The branding components such as your image, theme colour and fonts too. When was the point that you start to niche down? How did you find and stick to this niche? I find it a challenge for my main channel. I have only watched 3 of your videos so far, absoutely love it. In addition, you also mentioned in the PTYA drop-in call with regards to your immigrant parents. Perhaps it will be interesting to see how technology and your parents interact with each other? Within the Venn diagram of health, productivity and family relationship perhaps?
@@_justhenri started to niche down prob 6 months ago-ish. my strategy is every evolving!
we can always chat about CZcams if you're down. just DM me on Discord through PTYA
To be honest I used my iPad mini to take photos while traveling a few years ago. It lasted 5 years before I got an iPhone. It was a fun and nice experience overall but the camera wasn’t enough for me, so I got the photos from a friend that was accompanying me at that time. But I’m glad it worked haha! Nice job with your content, I enjoyed it a lot. Your content has a LOT of potential and I hope you’re rewarded with your hard work! Love from Chile 🇨🇱❤️
Thank you! Yes the camera is def not as great as an iPhone. 💪💪
I use an iPad mini as a phone and have for several years. No the camera isn’t as good… but I carry a real camera (Leica) for photos. I never relay on a phone for that.
This was SO COOL, Shervin 👏🏾 What a neat vlog and experiment; please do keep these types of videos coming!
Thank you Matt!! LFG #PTYA
Totally fab Shervin! So much production value and fun. 🐬🐬🐬
Thank you!!!! What other things should I replace my phone with?!?
@@ShervinShares Rest, Relaxation, try some of my recorded guided meditations? Haha Failing that's how about going with your apple watch instead of the iphone.
With numbersync, text and phone calls work like normal...just on speaker. Using ear buds will give you privacy. Hopefully the new iPad mini will have NFC!
i’m so glad you made this video! i’ve low key been thinking about this-i have my iphone and an ipad pro (12.9) but with my mac and my apple watch, i wonder if it would be more efficient/better for me to replace my current ipad and maybe even my iphone with an ipad mini. i’m not a huge social media person anyways, but just for sketching, note taking, texting and watching youtube/streaming services, i wonder if an ipad mini would allow me to kill two birds with one stone while being ultra portable.
Nice video man! Just discovered your channel and I love it !
Great idea! This is a tempting switch to make!
It’s def worth an experiment!! I felt free
If your with Verizon, use Verizon message for text and phone calls using the same phone number as your cell. All messages and phone call sync across devices
This video is amazing man! Great stuff dude, I wanna try this now😂
Good alternative your iPhone lock box!!
Nice vid man! I like your original content and all of the effort you put in to these:) keep it up and CZcams will be in favor of you:))
Thank you!!! Putting in the works, hopefully it pays off
My dad has poor sight and poor hearing, he has a phone which he uses for text and WhatsApp only (his hearing doesn’t allow voice calls and other stuff is too small to see) - would an iPad mini be a good replacement for his phone to help his sight knowing that he can’t use voice calls anyway and he’s too old for things like Apple Pay?
You can replace it and use airpods when making calls. I left my phone at home once and was able up use the iPod touch in my car as a replacement. Since I can make calls on my iPad, I purposely leave my iPhone at home. I have an iPod and iPad mini that I leave in the car at all times.
Apple is pretty smart about how to differentiate or cripple a device so you need another. That said, I have a Mini and I love that thing. But it does not replace the phone and I have a larger iPad as well.
You put a lot of work into this video and it shows. Massive props for the editing and even the social experiments haha 🐬🐬
Thank you that means a lot!! More social experiments it sounds like! 😂
2:05 flex
Cool video man, watched the whole video really enjoyed it! It's funny how I have an IPAD but I didn't realise it could do so much until watching you video lol!
THATS AWESOME! goal was to make an educational and entertaining video!
I just want to tell you that you need to keep going your work !! I knew you through the Apple Watch video and this is really good content
Thank you!!! What video do you want to see next?!
@@ShervinShares since you commented back to me, I’m thinking what could be the next video, I don’t know you enough tho but if I have an idea, I’ll comment on your next video for sure !
Awesome video! I was tempted to make a similar switch last year. But I couldn’t live without my 13 pros cameras and you can’t hook up an Apple Watch to an ipad
Right!! Cameras, NFC Apple Pay, an Apple Watch/Health are the biggest things holding me back. You could have a spare iPod for these functions though
Him: I have to pull out my iPad for everything
Apple Watch: AM I A JOKE TO YOU
ur music taste is always so on point in these videos, you need to link them somewhere!!!
Thank you!! It’s all from musicbed
Amazing video man! It was like a breath of fresh air on CZcams ;)
Thank you!!! Send it to a friend 😉. What other types of videos do you want to see?
the song at 1:50 is Called "stop this reign" by S.O.
U KNEED A KASE!! That how DANGEROUS that feels!
Haha ! You got me with the " Hey Siri, teleport to Chipotle..." lol Very interesting video, would be a no go for me though, didn't realize it didn't have legit Apple pay, or full apple watch capabilities. Probably would work for many people though. Peace bro !
Yea leaving iPhone at home and using Apple Watch Exclusively is the best workaround it seems
You left off one of the most useful tools - AirPods
This is the true day in the life. You earned a subscriber.
Love the content. I wish your channel grows quick for you to get the opportunity to create more great content.
Oh and 🐬🐬
THANK YOU!!! what other videos do you want to see?!
Thank u because I thought i can use this with my prepaid lte SIM card to do regular call and text.
As of today, it is the most recent iPad Mini and it is already outdated. The new iPad OS 16.1 version is different for the iPads that have the M1 chip. I hope they change their minds in the next updates because people usually upgrade expecting a longer period of OS updates.
What did the M1 iPads get in iOS 16 that the A15 iPad minis didn’t ?
how did you mount your ipad to the bike screen?
I'm planning to take this leap of faith myself. Can I link the number on the sim card to the google voice apk?
You asking for the numbers made my social anxiety scream😂
Great editing, handsome fella, and a fun content idea! The future looks hopeful my friend 😸
Do 30 days of iPad for sure!
Thank you so much 😁
So much great work you put into this video you have a strong 💪 work ethic and you will be successful ⚡️⚡️👊❤️
Thank you thank you!! 💪
can you make regular calls and receive and send SMS?
This is some high quality content! Currently investing at 6k followers, hoping to see you reach 1 million 👍
Thank you!!! I’m hoping you’re right. 1 milli baby
could you have used the apple watch for NFC with the ipad?
This is a portable device. The camera should definitively be updated in the next version. 3 cameras fit perfectly in it.
What do you think of the manta mask? can you make a quick review of it?
I have 3 of them! I like them a lot. I move a lot in my sleep so it can fall off sometimes. But better than other sleep masks I’ve tried. Here’s my affiliate link:
amzn.to/3uRzm20
Thanks. Which one do you prefer ? The new one?
@@Petr42 they're both great. the fancy features they add don't add much benefit. I like that it has a hole around your eyes so it's not touching my eyes when I sleep + velcro is easy to put on/remove
You seriously need more followers
Ha! 🐬 Let´s go Shervin 😄
I would def consider doing this if only I could do normal sms and phone calls to it
Google Voice is a great alternative!
Not really efficient here in the Philippines hehe @@ShervinShares
you did better camera work than 95% of the youtubers!
wow thank you!
Nice high quality video
I bought the iPad mini 6, I don't understand why the is a SIM card slot in it. I put my SIM card in the slot but can't make phone calls. what am I missing ? what is the point of putting in if aI can't use it. I am so disappointed I bought it to have a big screen phone. Can you pleas tell me how I can use my SIM card on my iPad mini 6 ? no-one seems to know. thanks in advance.
iPad does not support phone calls or text messages. It also does not have a SIM card slot. It only supports e-SIM
@@ShervinShares thank you for your reply, I will return it to the shop
Great vid. Thanks.
Thank you!!!
If there any way to pair your apple watch to your iPad +cellular or ipad mini IOS15 ??
I WISH!! I’ve been googling, but seems like there is no way
good stuff I am first-time viewer and a lot older then you but i like it thanks for this
thank you!! what other type of videos do you want to see?
If I have my iPhone on, and at home, can I FaceTime with it? Also it’s lame that iPad won’t just mirror sms messages in imessage like why not. Love these vids btw new huge fan of yours!
yes if you're on WiFi or Cellular - you can use FaceTime. iPhone doesn't need to be one.
The SMS thing isn't great, it can forward. THANK YOU!!
I appreciate this video
iPad Mini + Apple Watch Ultra + Mac Mini (with Luna Display) = PERFECTION
Have you tried K ring or Mc Lear ring
Oh damn, what the reason to have sim but cannot call or text
I wish Apple would add the Watch App to the iPad. Or have a DEX mode of iPhone. Separating things is good for sales but it takes away from innovation.
this video is chill
you’re chill bro
Great video!
Great video, greetings from Mexico, new sub!
Ayyy welcome! Good to have you
This video was so dope. iPad mini could do the trick
THANK YOU
A bit of feedback. You put in a lot of effort and it shows. The video overall was good but I feel like your hook was trying to see how much you could reduce social media usage and create more boundaries (like the celebrities you mentioned) and you didn't stick the landing on wrapping that up. The thing that stood out to me the most was the Apple Heath, NFC, glucose, and camera being reasons you didn't see yourself using it as a replacement. You mentioned in passing that since none of the social apps were downloaded you didn't use them. We have no idea how much you use social and I don't know if it's realistic for someone trying to replace their phone to have no social on the ipad as a reduction technique. Perhaps it would be realistic for but that's sort of my point it felt like your payoff/wrap-up was a bunch of stuff that was never established as being meaningful to this experience and a footnote about what you setup as the main reason for doing this. If those items were important I think you should have called it out at the beginning and looked for ways to workaround that. Like I said good production but for the sake of your content if you stay on point it will be even more impactful.
ummm thank you. Can I hire you to review my videos before I publish them? i'm serious haha
I'm trying to get better at storytelling. And you're spot on, this video was put together pretty fast & I def didn't do the best job tying the storyline together
@@ShervinShares Sure let's chat about it. I'll email the address listed on your CZcams profile for Business Inquiries.
It looks like if anyone does not need to use RFID chip and don't care about taking pictures all time can use an iPad as an all in one device. It would work out for me because I don't need those two.
Can you do an updated “day with an Apple Watch only” video ?
I did one in December! I have these two video so far. Do you want another? I love making them:

Stop digital consumption by swapping an iPhone for an iPad? What am I missing
physical friction! it's harder to pull out an iPad to use in most scenarios = that little bit a physical friction can create a boundary between using your device more!
I am an expat so I prefer TextNow over Googles calling service because Google Voice will not work outside of America but TextNow will. I 👍 your video.
Interesting! Do you have to pay for TextNow? GVoice is free. I’ll check it out!
@@ShervinShares it's also free "if you use it once a month" if not you'll need to pay 6 dollars a year or risk losing your phone number. It also does video calls and I use it for 2 factor authentication.
What backpack are you using. Look rather good
Peak Design!
Now that the Apple Watch Ultra is Out, you should do a video where you try to just use the Ultra and Mini to make it through a day without your iPhone for us lol
I did one with just the Ultra! I can add the Mini into the mix too!
i liked your video and your mustache. Came to Turkey
Ayyyy 🙏
Nothings weird in Washington square park except you asking if it’s weird.
If Apple watch had Apple Watch Ultra compatibility I would use it as my main device.
Waiiit... The phone he locked away was a 13 (look at the cameras while it's in the box) but his actual phone is a 13 Pro... He didn't really lock his main phone away... 😓

You can use Apple Pay.. But you need a PayPal account. Then you can produce a bar code they can scan...
You don’t need PayPal for Apple Pay?
@@ShervinShares If you want to use the iPad Mini to buy stuff in person. You need PayPal that can produce a Barcode to pay for it. That was my work around..
@@WizzRacing OHHHH INTERESTING - ok I'm going to try this. But what if the terminal only supports Apple Pay NFC or CC? How can they scan the barcode if they don't have a scanner?
@@ShervinShares Never ran into any place that can't scan the bar code. As the same machine that reads the produce code. Is the same one they use to scan the Bar Code PayPal produces for you. They just hit a button to except bar code payments...
This was one the things that chapped me about iPad Cellular. The name is misleading. It leads you to think it can work just like an iPhone. When it's real an iPad plus Data...Which basically means if you can't get a WiFi connection. You can use the Data Sim card. Unless you have your iPhone some place close. "Then it works as a Phone"
I almost sent mine back Just because of that. As what use is paying the extra cost. As You can pair an iPhone with WiFi iPad and it works the same...
@@WizzRacing really good to know. Thank you
you forgot to add #ad lol I now want an iPad

LOLOL oops. Apple sponsor me plz
Bro there’s no way I’d ever take an iPad out in an NYC subway these days. Not sure why you would even pretend to be an average consumer after pulling something like that.
They should seek to make the ipad mini more phine like so people can have a phablet
Could just get a folding phone. Alas Apple won't make one.
Dolphin🐬
yeet
Umm… the thing is that 256GB iPad mini in WiFi+Cellular modification costs more or less as much as iPhone. So it’s absolutely pointless to use iPad Mini instead of iPhone.
What, where can I get that cool youtube shirt???
just need to go to a CZcams conferece ;)
5:37 Ok you went to far there.
omg ooops!! haha finally someone noticed
@@ShervinShares 😂
The biggest problem is that it cannot receive phone call and texting! It could've been a perfect device, what a shame
yea... but who does phone calls anymore anyways?
Great video!! New sub here

Another nice video, Man, it looks like your height is 6" plus, still you use apple watch 7 41mm, why?
I use the 45 mm version!
Nice video to watch 👍
thank you! what type of iPhone iPad video do you want to see next?
So cute
Does having the Apple Watch make it easier to only use an iPad for you?
That ipad with 256 gb costs 800 dollars.
