I realize that life is too short for perfection.
I am returning mine. Hopefully they fix the Jelly scrolling on future iterations of the 6, I could see them quietly changing the display connector to be vertical instead.
I’ve returned mine due to jelly screen.

Keeping it. I see the jelly, but for my usage and the way I scroll, I don't really notice it. I probably would not even be aware of the issue had I not seen this forum. Damn you Macrumors iPad forum, damn you.
You should add a poll option of "not going to buy it now as a result"
so do we think the Jelly cant be fixed by software?
no only concerned with those who actually have it.. and just wonder what percent of minis is this occurring on??
Why?
Many of us have spent ample time trying it in person..
Is it not relevant to find out if we are not buying it at all rather than buying it and returning it?
Jelly cannot be fixed in software.
It is a result of the design change and it’s on every single Mini 6 - per Apple themselves
Not perfect but I will keep mine. I feel that it is overall better than its predecessors.
Is it supposed to have jelly scroll? I can't see it 😨 (And I've been able to see it in other people's videos)
You flick the iPad screen up and down like when you are using it? Why?
I have to write a lot for a living, that includes a lot of quick scrolling so I can make amendments, copy and paste text quickly, etc. it makes it very noticeable.

It is unlikely in the extreme that a relatively niche device like the iPad mini has multiple screen vendors.
You likely are just not very sensitive to the issue. I’m not either though I did teach myself to see it by going to this site: TestUFO. It might be best to just not worry about it but that isn’t my nature. Once multiple people said they saw a problem, I wanted to know how bad it could be for me. That required that I see it for myself. Luckily, it seems like I can turn on and off the ability to see the jelly scroll at will.
Post a video, you do have it you just don’t notice it. Apple confirmed every iPad mini 6 has it
I felt mine was worse than this and took a video of it. But in my video it's not as apparent, and in your video I can barely see it. In most of these videos I can't see it unless the video is slowed down.
I wonder if there is a individual persistence of vision interaction here which explains why some cannot see it.
EDIT: So here is my video. I find the effect is not as pronounced on video. In person the phone graphic is bending like a diving board. And of course in landscape it is not there at all.

Already returned mine, trying to read text or look at images that slant and squiggle while browsing for an hour really was disorienting. If they would have kept the same update direction as the Mini 5 it would have been my favourite device to use.
Using the Mini 5 now and it is so much nicer to browse on for me.

I will keep the Mini 6 despite the jelly. I will mostly use it for iBooks, note taking and forum browsing, so I can live with the screen as it is. However, I will swap my 256 GB for a 64 GB. Before the purchase I pondered on how much storage space I would need. My old Minis have been 64 GB, but all my larger iPads have always been 256 GB. Now, with everything installed on the Mini 6 I’ve only used 36 GB and as it will complement my M1 12.9 Pro a 256 GB is a overkill. I plan to keep it for the next couple of years… or until there’s a Mini 7 with ProMotion display and face ID 😁
it does seem like it cant be fixed in software, thats the scary part! :/
Stop reading the ‘news’. You see rubbish like this every time new kit is released. Stop listening to this rubbish and enjoy your purchase.
So they have something to moan about, just like every product release. LOL
Lol except it’s not just a software issue …
I didn’t say it was. Can you bend it? Give that a go too.
You guys have got to be kidding me. There is not a damn thing wrong with any of the iPad minis in this thread.
