Every Mini 6 unit has it, there are exactly zero exceptions. It is just the way it works.
Wrong. It is a low quality panel and not due to it being 60hz.
Geez, this is how 60 Hz lcd panels work. It is in fact a very high quality panel. The only difference is the refresh is optimized for landscape vs portrait use. All 60 Hz lcd displays exhibit this behavior. Do some research.
I have the research in front of me, namely 7 old phones and tablets from the last 10 years and not one of them exhibits obvious jelly scrolling like the iPad Mini. Not in portrait or landscape. People think this is due to it being a 60hz panel and that is nonsense.
Agreed, I put a lot of stress on my MBA M2 every day, including having it hooked up to a Studio Display for work. It's never failed me. I think people on here are over critical and are actively looking for something to complain about. There are far worse things in the computer world than what's complained about here. You have to wonder if they have ever attempted to cast their screen to a wireless display using a PC... that's a nightmare! Or keep an HP printer connected to their wireless set up for over a week... People take Mac computers for granted. I did, and switched to PC for 3 years... 3 long stressful years... Don't get me wrong, there are some good points using a PC, but for simplicity sake I'd prefer a Mac now that I'm no longer in school. I do miss Microsoft Project though.

Other screens may technically exhibit this phenomenon but they don’t do it to the degree that the iPad Mini 6 does it, not so obviously to the naked eye. I have NEVER owned a phone or tablet that has done it so badly that I’ve been aware of it. Stop defending poor quality.Not nonsense, based on how these really operate. Your “research” is anecdotal. There is a ton of data on 60 hz refresh flickering out there.
Every single 60 Hz lcd I’ve got on hand and have had on hand previously displays this behavior, and it is well documented.
Some reading for you:
What Are the Causes of LCD Display Screen Flicker And How To Fix Them? - CreateXplay
Screen flickering is the change in brightness that occurs on the cathode ray tube screen because of a low refresh rate.
What Is Jelly Scrolling?
The iPad mini's jelly scrolling problem probably affects other displays you own, you've just never noticed it before.
So you're happy with Apple supplying jelly scroll display panels going forward. Some of us are not.
This is a technical discussion, or at least that was my attempt. “Happy” has nothing to do with it. You are unhappy and that is clear. Others are satisfied Mini 6 users, me amongst them. It is a tool, nothing more. I don’t get emotional about electronics, they either serve my purpose or don’t. I certainly don’t think anyone that has a different take is somehow deluded or wrong. I pointed to some reference material, take or leave it. I’ve first hand experience professionally with thousands of LCD panels in hundreds of contexts and seen 60 HZ LCD flicker in all of them that refresh at that rate. It manifests in one axis or the other so orientation makes a difference when scrolling text. Some are bothered by it, others aren’t, some can’t even see it. But if it’s a problem that’s too bad for you, but others of us are not lying or in denial. It simply isn’t a problem for us. This is the case for a vast majority of users.
I think it's the other way around. Visible in portrait, not in landscape.
The human eye notices it much better than a video camera does.
