This phenomenon still exists in 15.1 beta, I just don't notice it unless I am using software or a site that specifically calls it out.
Nope. I can see "jelly rolling" even on my 120Hz OLED TV. The way the display is updated is pretty much exactly the same as an LCD.
Actually that is a good point. Maybe Apple did prioritize landscape because they expect a lot of the minis are going to be used as gaming devices. I don't play many games so I didn't think of that but with the Switch doing as well as it does it wouldn't surprise me if that is exactly the motivation.
That video no clue, but that was either specific to a small batch or that iphone. its not repeatable on all iphone 12 pros. mine doesn't not do that at all nor my work one. also that video shows its extra like that display has something extra wrong with it
dangit, I knew I had too much coffee today!
Maybe but I didn't think my iPad mini did it either until I tried the TestUFO site. You might want to go to that site and and test vertical and bounce mode in landscape on your iPhone 12 Pro before you are sure.
Ha ha... Tim couldn't resist the bulk discount he got offered for this dodgy batch of slow moving inventory LCD screens....the supplier said the liquid effect in the retina screen is more pronounced as it ages LOL.
Ahhh this sounds like the Apple I know.
iPad mini 6 owners have been complaining about a "jelly scrolling" problem that affects some iPad mini models when using the device in portrait mode, and Apple now says that the behavior is normal for an LCD screen.
"Jelly scrolling" refers to screen tearing, which can cause text or images on one side of the screen to appear to be tilted downwards because of a mismatch in refresh rates. It can cause one side of the display to look as if it's responding faster than the other side, a visual disturbance that's hard to miss once you notice it.
Apple told Ars Technica that jelly scroll is normal behavior for an LCD. The screen is designed to refresh line by line, which can cause a tiny delay between when the lines at the top of the screen and the bottom of the screen are refreshed, resulting in uneven scrolling issues.
As many MacRumors readers have pointed out, the jelly scrolling effect is much more pronounced on the iPad mini 6 than on other iPads that also have an LCD screen like the iPad Air, or even the ninth-generation iPad that was released at the same time.
Unfortunately, with Apple calling the issue normal behavior, it means that those who are unhappy with the jelly scrolling effect will likely not be able to get a replacement device from Apple.
iPad mini 6 owners who can't get past the jelly scrolling on their tablets should make sure to make a return or get a replacement within 14 days after purchase during the standard return period. Not all iPad mini devices seem to be experiencing the issue to the same degree, so it may be possible to purchase one that has less of a scrolling delay.
Apple may also issue some kind of software fix in the future to address the problem, even though the company claims that it is normal behavior.

So Apple is hoping that the majority of potential iPad mini 6 users have poor eyesight or something? Not a good strategy. Maybe this is a case of an Asian company providing inferior quality panels in an effort to offer the lowest bid to Apple and still make a profit.
