iPad mini iPad Mini 6 jelly scrolling

Tried it… and just like with text, I can see it, but it’s quite slight and doesn’t bother me. Guess I’m just not that sensitive to it. Which is good, because I’m super happy with my mini 6 otherwise.
Interesting, I’m hopeful not all units have it, because then it will be a question of exchanging until I get a decent one. When I was in the Apple store this weekend all the display units had the issue, but there’s a few people on this thread swearing they don’t have the issue, so fingers crossed there’s a few good units out there!
I can see it too, but in real-world usage, it just isn’t terribly pronounced for me.
Here is music app in portrait super slow mo looks fine?
** seems Vimeo doesn't support slow mo and I cant add it direct to macrumors

Great video 👍 thats exactly like mine .. when normally scrolling on websites and photos etc its really distracting for me
Just googled this, and more sites are starting to cover it. Hopefully by tomorrow, there will be enough talk that Apple will have to address it.
I honestly think that most/all units have this, but some may be worse than others, or some users aren’t able to perceive it. My wife is like that with video and audio.

Use this link as it puts the image in the right orientation to see it. If you view 5is in portrait mode, you will most likely see the horizontal lines tilt as they go up and down:
This jelly scrolling will not get fixed with an update, my Wife Samsung Tab S5e suffer from it badly & here a good reason why it won't get fixed.
Was all set to pull the trigger on a 256GB Mini 6 now i won't bother.

Dropped off the mini at Walgreens for fedex…went to Best Buy and grabbed a 9th gen iPad 64 gb for $299 price matched to Walmart.

It would be interesting to have the same video with the 5 mini in landscape (and the 6 still in portrait).
watch the white jay z album its in line with the others so either people have faulty screens or they are not on the latest software
I came across a nice review on the iPad mini 6 (from an artist's perspective) that talks about the jelly effect.
My conclusion so far, also from the twitter thread linked earlier (
), is that this is an effect that occurs on all LCD displays to a larger or lesser extent, and that it is (a) particularly pronounced on the mini 6, and (b) exacerbated by the fact that the screen refresh orientation is rotated by 90 degrees on the mini 6, so that it now affects vertical scrolling in portrait mode.
You can all hope an update will fix this trust me it won't you either have to put up with it or send it back.
Do the same test in landscape mode (with the lines going the other way). Supposedly the mini 4/5 have the same artifact in landscape.
You’re NOT seeing that? It’s more noticeable when you scroll it down in the video.
This is a disaster. Absolutely absurd. Why did Apple install the screens in the Mini 6 like this, are more people using it in horisontal mode compared to the Mini 5 that they decided to swap how it refreshes? I understand that kind of thinking in iPad Pros that are mostly used horisontally like laptops, but iPad Minis are more like books you take with you.
I expect these kinds of things from cheap Android tablets, but not from an Apple device that only gets a refresh every third year or so, especially from an Apple product that's $100 more expensive than the last one.
I don't really see the blooming either. Again, only in extreme conditions, like complete darkness and 100 percent brightness.
I hope this gets people to see all those YouTube influencers/reviewers for what they really are and how valuable they aren’t. Not one of them mentioned it. My guess is that they weren’t really testing them out, rather, focused on their actual presentations.
It would have been nice if even just one of them mentioned it.

It looks more pronounced on the mini 6 here, but mostly just because the scrolling is faster there, creating larger gaps between the lines. A still from the video:
