If it's just a cheaper display or the orientation of the display connector; is it really that difficult for them to just source the displays from a different supplier? Or would they have a contractual obligation to keep using them for the entire duration of the mini 6's lifespan? How difficult would it be for them to swap the orientation of the display connectors?
I don't either, and I certainly don't flick a screen around that way. I assume that slower scrolling makes it harder to see, since the refresh vs. scroll ratio would be more favorable.
They won’t recall. The best they might do is quietly fix. But hey they shipped the butterfly keyboard for years so who knows. I can’t see it on my mini 6. It’s probably there but I can’t see it. Mind you I’ve only had my mini for a few hours. I could see it in some of the videos though.
That ^^^ is a painfully true point. There is no way anything is going to happen on this "issue" until the Mini 7, if then. And that could easily be five years away.
You mean Mr. "You're holding it wrong" would not allow a jelly product? LMAO.
As a very neutralcalendar comment, each of us who have bought one has only two weeks to make a decision. One way to deal with that would be to return the one you bought within the return window, then see how it plays out and buy another one later if you're satisfied. I am not finding this to be a problem for me personally with the specific Mini that I've got, but other people may justifiably feel very differently...and I may return mine and watch this issue anyway, since once you're out of the return window you literally own this problem.
If one ordered online from Apple Store, that's 28 days. 14 days to initiate the return then another 14 to ship. Soon, it will be holiday return period as well so if shipping times aren't too delayed, one can try the product until January.
I kind of think someone high up thought it was a good idea. Since there were no top and bottom chins like the Mini's of old, whoever thought that we'd all use it in landscape mode like their bigger brethren. And it just so happens he made 2 mistakes in thinking that, one that we'd use it in landscape, and 2nd, the change to landscape would make portrait scroll a lot worse since the distances were smaller.
Am considering this now. When is the holiday return period with Apple? I assume it’s based on order date rather than the date the iPad is shipped by Apple?
Agreed, and marketing really should have known better just by watch how people use it.
I agree that's plausible too. I play my games in portrait mode, but it's very different games than they are probably thinking about. One's I'd play with my XBox Series x or my PC.
No problem, it's fair game! I'd really be using disagree for most things, but for some reason that emoji is not showing at all today. Anger always shows.
