When scrolling anything with text, there’s a noticeable blue/smearing of the test. Whether it’s in Safari, Settings app, etc. I’m not in lower power mode. Is this normal? It’s not doing it on my iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Got a tip for us?

The LCD's pixel response is slower than the refresh rate of the display, which presents as smearing when pixels need to transition from distant states (e.g. full white to full black or vice versa). The reason this doesn't happen on the iPhone is because the response times of pixels in the OLED displays they use is much faster. It's also why I don't think pro-motion is as big of a deal on the ipad / macbooks as it is on the iPhone.
Ahh, so it’s not a defect.
. I mean, I’m glad it isn’t a defect, just it does bother me lol.
scrolling with inertia shouldn’t »smear« - at least not if you don’t flick your finger very fast upwards on the screen to scroll a page. Are you using a trackpad/mouse/Apple’s MKB? Is it the same when you the iPP wthout any peripheral(s)?

Exactly. When iPhones/MacBooks got ProMotion I would constantly tell people how the laughable 96ms response time on the miniLED 16” MBP hinders ProMotion and uses it as a crutch. The OLED display with ProMotion is by far the most dramatic than anything with an LCD yet people thought I was crazy ha.
Hell my new M2 MBA with 26ms response time looks about as smooth as my MBP 16” with ProMotion unless side by side.
I would rather have a 60hz OLED screen than miniLED with ProMotion.
No trackpad/mouse. It does it when I use the keyboard, and without the keyboard.
