Some owners of the new iPad mini 6 have reported a problem with the way the display is updated when scrolling. Colloquially, the whole thing is called the "jelly" effect. Apple has now commented on it.
After reports After the growing concern about the “jelly” effect on the iPad mini 6, Apple has now spoken out and told Ars Technica explainedJelly scrolling is normal behavior for an LCD screen. The screen is designed to refresh line by line, which can cause a slight delay between the refresh of the lines at the top and bottom of the screen, resulting in uneven scrolling issues.
iPad mini 6: Statements differ
With Apple calling the issue normal behavior, this now means that those unhappy with the jelly scrolling effect are unlikely to get a replacement unit from Apple. iPad mini 6 owners who are having trouble with jelly scrolling should return their device within the usual return period and order a new one if necessary. The issue does not appear to affect all iPad mini devices to the same extent, so it is possible to get a device with less scrolling lag. In addition, there is still a chance that Apple will address the issue in a future software update - even if Cupertino claims it is normal behavior. (Image: Apple)
