I’ve never noticed this on older iPads. We all pay a premium for Apple products and one thing which should have no compromises is the display. People need to check this out in the store first. Once I notice something like this it bugs the hell out of me. Remember the issue with some iPHones which looked like they had spotlights coming down from one side? I just had to return mine. The guy in the Apple Store hardly noticed it but I got a full replacement and the new model didn’t have the issue.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Says 'Jelly Scrolling' on iPad Mini 6 is Normal Behavior for LCD Screens

Yep both the 11 and 12 pro max have it turned on, doesn’t affect brightness though.
Most of the new 13 panels are trash.
Oh no, I know it doesn't impact brightness - was more just curious on the font thing.
The new panels don't look great in your pics - thx for posting those
In a way, Apple has become too successful. They sell around 200 million iPhones each year. That's more than half a million iPhones produced each day. I can imagine it's difficult to maintain consistent high quality with that kind of throughput. This isn't to excuse Apple in any way, but just to consider the reality of the situation.
I know where someone can get a job in another 3 or so years.
Nope, but other people are saying the exact same thing, sent pictures to apple, I’ll see what they say, not holding my breath, they’ll most likely say, what you’re looking at is normal lol.
Lol that’s gonna get taken down faster than I can tie my shoes

Best reply I e seen in this thread thus far along with the past quote below.
A tonne? Strange phrase when it’s about weight vs volume is users
I get it just at common age old phrases.
Bingo!
this if done in extremely high numbers would have Apple re-investigate the issue deeper and adjust production.
cause they’re shilling to get those next set of products to “review” before launch date for clicks
it’s a culture of fear and obedience
TVs refresh from top to bottom, so scrolling vertically won't show the skew issue. I can see the skew with horizontal movement on my 120Hz OLED. I can see it even more easily on my 60Hz desktop monitors when I move a window horizontally.
Literally in the thread...
It's a common trait in LCDs, it just happens that the iPad mini refreshes in a different direction than usual. It's not a defect.
Yeah that dude even says that he is not comparing his iPad Pro because it’s barely noticeable. How about on an iPad Air 4 with 60 Hz.
Problem is on mini 6 it’s very obvious in portrait mode for which as others have mentioned in this forum is the benefit of the mini viewing preference. Had it been noticeable in landscape mode not many would care as people generally view videos or games that refreshes the content quickly where the eyes compensate. Plus not many prefer to read in landscape mode on a mini, which begs the question does Apple even know how users of its own products use them.
Yeah, it does suck that it refreshes that way. I'll be interested to see if they change panel/refresh orientation during the next generation to make it less noticeable.
Ultimately I understand why customers are un-happy and why Apple says it's not an issue. It technically isn't, despite it being annoying. Hopefully those with use-cases where it's annoying can return and get a different device that works better for them.

I find that the MR community if quite fair and respectful without the need to be censored but from my experience, the MR forums are treated like its a political forum in China. There, ive said it. Go for it MR. Suspend me. I know its coming.
It is reproducible on any LCD display including iPad mini 5.
For iPad mini 5, jelly vertical scrolling only happens in landscape mode.
Oh man. I can see it straight away on this video. That would bug the hell out of me. Why did they make it so it refreshes that way? Most people will use it in Portrait mode to read. Its a pass for me on this product.
Yeah - we are all trying to figure that part out.
If there's ONE iPad that would be most likely to be used in portrait mode -- it's the Mini.
It's literally the last one they should have made this panel orientation change on.
Oh no now I can’t read while scrolling
Sucks if you're a pilot flying along in a plane in weather on approach to land .... trying to read a chart or other pertinent info --- and the scrolling is oozing all over the place.
It can be a very fast paced environment -- not one where wonky scrolling is welcome, at all
Sort of like these guys -- seen in the actual Apple video event announcing these new iPads..
