I've just been to my local Apple store to see the iPad Mini 7 for myself. Jelly scroll is still present although slightly reduced. It's not so wavy but still tilts. Surprisingly it's just as bad on the OLED iPad Pro 11".

It's enough to make me pass again. I'm looking at the Lenovo Legion Tab 2024 as I'm over larger tablets.
I was also very surprised to see it match the 11” Pro. Everything else about the OLED screen is better, but this particular issue is equally present in both models.

With the 11”, it’s obvious they would orient the display controller to avoid jelly in landscape so they can sell the keyboard accessory. For the Mini…I don’t get it. It should be the same as Minis 1-5.

I couldn't find jelly scroll, even trying those insane unrealistic scrolling speeds.
Nothing.
Scrolled really fast and held the iPad as far as possible.
Nothing
Why scroll fast? It can be seen through normal usage and normal scroll speed. I don't need to scroll up and down really fast or video it on slow-mo to see the jelly. The videos of people hyper-speed scrolling are trying to mask the issue and say "look, it's fixed".

It's great news for you and others who don't see it. Why even try to find it as once seen it cannot be unseen.

I can't claim to understand the phenomenon of how some see it and some don't as it is present at a hardware level due to the design and parts choices Apple made. It's the same with PWM. Guess we are all wired slightly differently.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest, but this is where people like to complain.

Me neither but plenty others are disgusted by it and that reputation of not caring enough about it stays with the device in enthusiast forums like these of course.

Pretty much all of my LCD tablets have some type of jelly scrolling. It doesn't bother me in the least as I know it's there and I don't really care.
