Just checked and my 9.7” iPP has a bit of jelly in landscape which I have never noticed with normal use, the conditions needed to re[produce the issue are simply not how I use my iPad, so if this is as bad as the new Mini is, all should be good for me.
Got a tip for us?

The slow-mo is to make it more obvious as recording it doesn't give a real picture of the effect. In person it is *that* bad.
Definitely is an individual sensitivity issue, though - I really don't see it and it doesn't bother me in the least. I did a blind test with my wife, not telling her what the issue was, and she said it looks great. But I understand that if you are sensitive to it, that it would drive you nuts.
The Pros have 120Hz screens so they are updating twice as fast and it is too fast for us to notice the pixels shifting as they scroll.
Yeah, I didn't really see it either. Must be a perception thing. In fact, except for the very first video in this thread, where it's obvious, the rest of the videos have been less impressive showing it.

Same I struggled to see it in most of the videos in this thread.
awesome dude Vincent Teoh of HDTVtest who reviews high end HDTV's did a jelly scrolling video and its sweet:
Great video. I watched a few and this one did a good job. Nice find. Some of his statements had me cracking up lol.
Yeah his humor and dry delivery is on point he does that in like all his videos
Not quite...Mark Rejhon, the inventor of TestUFO wrote a much better analysis on Ars' comment section:

Can we instead just ask that Apple change back the screen orientation so it’s not so obvious in portrait?
I'm finding that I'm almost always using mine in landscape, the main exception being reading ebooks.

Nope. Many people were like me. Loved the mini for years so instantly preordered the mini 6. Found it so uncomfortable that I had to return it after a few days and go back to my mini 5. Very disappointed that Apple’s design choices led to them creating The Most Jelly Scrolling iPad Ever. Hoping they recognise their mistake and fix it for the mini 7. ProMotion would also help.
Just because an issue doesn’t affect you doesn’t mean it isn’t real.
If there is a cheap Chinese brand Redmi device then I think it is acceptable, but Mini is not cheap at all.
We should demand Apple at least offer a "portrait-jelly-free" version mini 6 as many users like us who use portrait for reading/note-taking/browser much more than "landscape" gaming/video!
