Given the display driver board is exactly the same, it seems the fix may have been through software.

iPad mini iFixit iPad Mini 2024 Teardown - Apple Did Not Fix Jelly Scrolling

Okay, I think the general consensus was already that "it's still there, but not as much as on the Mini 6". It's not a clown day until JPack posts
It’s still there but it’s much improved which they note in the video teardown. Go to the Apple store and test it. It is almost imperceptible to me, YMMV.
Wow software improvements locked to the new generation for no other reason than to push people to upgrade, not for technical limitations reasons
It’s not like they’ve never done that but that’s absurd to be a covert upgrade lol and one that still bothers a lot of mini 6 people . I don’t really care but imo it shouldn’t have it at all
It’s Not even part of their marketing materials “improved motion” or something

Its bothers people that own non A17 Pro based iPhones 15's and all the iPhone lines before that more. But one can also clearly see the writing on the wall that eventually it will matter, we're just not at that point quite yet. But come next WWDC with iPadOS 19 you likely see that there will be the expectation of multiple AI processes running concurrently on people iPads that the 4GB RAM mini 6 wouldn't permit to run.
So during the next year its will indeed be a decision of some upgrade if you consider the iPad mini 7 more usable for what you want to run. Years ago software was the most important deciding point, the hardware decision came after that from what was needed to run that software and at what speed.
And what proof do we have of this? It could just as much be a fact of some type of software fix only the A17 Pro is able to run too.
The proof is doubt. Sounds shady Apple Intelligence surveilling the jelly lol
I would think the display controller would be tweaked in some way but teardown makes it seem not so
Had the mini 6 and now 7. It’s definitely not as bad as the 6.
Likely the mini 7's LCD panel response time is better IMHO. Yes some vendors just make better LCD panels with similar specs. Maybe its Samsung's?
But the joke about Apple AI stealthy correcting the worst of jelly motion does sound funny.
The saddest thing for mini 6 owners is that Apple locked the software "fix" to the 7, just like the locked the battery charge threashold to the 2024 iPads
You are right at some things here. I remember when apple first introduced altimeter and barometer, so people were making fun that apple know which floor people go to toilet.Its bothers people that own non A17 Pro based iPhones 15's and all the iPhone lines before that more.

With all apple watch tracking, I wouldn’t be surprised if apple is actually in the business of tracking individual people.
Just like mcdonalds is not in the business of making food - it is actually the biggest conglomerate of owning real estate.
Apple would not be a hardware seller but the encyclopedia of people and their wants, health conditions and commuting routes. Which probably make the ai run in the background at some point.
