iPad Mini 6 Jelly Scroll Problem: Full Details of the Issue
According to Gadget Tendency, the Council for Science and Technology Innovation of China has already confirmed that the iPad Mini 6 Jelly Scroll effect is one of the major issues observed in Apple's newest product. The problem is likely to be seen when users tilt the device into a portrait mode.
The Verge reporter Dieter Bohn first reported the issue in his tweet, saying that he experienced the jelly issue problem. Bohn said that whenever he scrolls in a portrait mode with a lot of text on the screen of his iPad Mini 6, he experiences the jelly scroll problem wherein the other side moves faster than the other giving him an out-of-sync scrolling. He also clarified in his tweet that the Jelly scroll issue goes away when the screen orientation is switched.
For what it's worth, 9to5Mac stated that it is still uncertain if the issues came from its display controllers, from its LCD Panel, or firmware/software issues.
Apple Insider also gave its thoughts on the iPad Mini 6 Jelly Scroll effect, noting that it is possible that there could be a problem with the display panel itself and Apple could possibly create a remedy to fix the situation. The said solution could be a software fix for future iPadOS update.
