So it seems there is issues with the new Ipad Pro in that scrolling causes everything to wobble annoyingly. Anyone else noticed this?
Got a tip for us?

Did you notice this ?
I noticed the wobble scroll in the shop too with the 13 inch , which has me on the fence whether to pick it up or not. I’m yet to try out the 11 inch which ill be getting , if i see something similar, I may hold off my purchase

Seems limited to that websites bad code. Not the iPad itself. I can’t replicate the issue.
I dont see any wobbling effect on my device either. It's like with any other OLED.
The video shows terrible pixel transition times aka ghosting, probably just recorded that way. Actually it looks exactly how scrolling looked like on mini LED iPads prior to OLED.

Here’s a better quality upload of it .
The text seems to ghost/ wobble a bit when you scroll .
Can you post a video of slow scrolling on any website which has a black background and white text ?
My guess is that the led takes a while to switch off to display it’s black
It's one of first things I checked on OLED after years with mini LED 12,9. Text is miles clearer in motion but it's still a little bit blurry on black/white scenarios. OLED-worthy but not any ground-breaking stuff.
I'm waiting for some in-depth reviews of screens used this year.

That’s very true!
I hated the response time of the iPad Pro M2. I was hoping for amazing motion this time , was disappointed when i saw that it’s still noticeably blurry. Even though it was far better than the M2
I’m a professional developer , I guess he doesn’t know what he’s talking about , bad code cannot cause that . You can take any instance of a black background and white text you’ll see this issue regardless of the website
I just want to add my experience to this.
I got the 11 inch pro M4 this week to replace my 2018 11 inch pro.
I very quickly noticed the terrible double vision when scrolling. I find it most obvious on the Facebook app but it’s very visible in Safari and elsewhere.
After using the tablet for a while I notice slight eye strain and my eyes take a while to adjust when looking elsewhere afterwards. I’ve tried playing with the settings but I’m currently considering returning it.
Yes I am a new user here but I am being genuine. I loved my aged 2018 pro and I was expecting the replacement to be better not worse.

It might be getting used to factor, but given it's a whole different technology than LED + subpixel layout novelty I won't be surprised it bothers some people to the point of returning. Can't fool the eyes in the long term.
I’m sorry to hear this, double scroll is a good way of describing thisI just want to add my experience to this.

Most blur is sample-and-hold motion blur. The blur comes from your eyes moving across the text, not from the switching speed of the display. The only way to fix that is to have extremely high refresh rates or strobing the display on and off at the refresh rate of the display.

I hope it’s not like the jelly scroll on mini 6

Jelly Scroll is on all iPads and iPhones now in different orientations. The extent you see it varies and it depends how sensitive to it you are. I most definitely can see it on the OLED iPad 11” in portrait mode (120hz display is only smoothing it).
Care to elaborate ??I returned mine. I’m not sure I can tolerate the new OLED screen. Plus I was compiling a list of other issues with it. Shame.
My main issue was the screen, I noticed a double vision effect when scrolling at speeds that I would still expect to be able to read at. Also I had trouble adjusting the the oled dimming (PWM), the image never appeared real or solid, it was harsh, too bright and (how to describe?…) fizzy? shimmering? My 2018 pro has a perfect picture, more like reading a book than a screen.
A few other random issues I picked up in my 5 days of owning. It occasionally refused to “swipe up to unlock”. When turning the volume down using the control centre it would turn the volume back up again to a random level. One pop up window shook violently left and right! 🤷♂️. Infrequently it would go to standby during use.
I hope that all makes sense.
The PWM was enough reason alone to return it, the rest was just taunting me.
So I got to try out a 11 inch and unlike my earlier comments on the 13 inch , it was far better in my eye .
The wobble scroll was almost unnoticeable and it was less glossy and it felt a lot more HDR ish .
Now a lot of users have reported that every single unit varies from the next , maybe I just got to see an amazing unit.
I’m gonna be picking up the M4 post June 10th and I hope and pray I get a unit which is as good as the one I saw in the shop the other day
