On September 29, according to foreign media Ars Technica, Apple responded to the problem of “jelly scrolling” in the vertical screen of the iPad mini 6. So this will cause a delay between the top line and the bottom line of the screen, which will lead to a “jelly scrolling” effect.
In this regard, Xiao Lei conducted an actual measurement. In slow motion, it can be clearly seen that the displays on the left and right sides of the screen are not synchronized, and the left side is obviously slower. This effect is more obvious on the iPad mini 6, but not obvious on the iPad Air 4 and iPad 9. At present, Apple does not think this is a hardware and software problem that needs to be resolved.
If this is a software problem, Apple should be able to fix it in a subsequent update, but based on Apple’s remarks, it seems that the possibility of a hardware problem is greater, and Apple does not seem to plan to replace the machine for the first batch of users.
However, some users said that they didn’t notice these problems until they saw the news. As far as Xiaolei’s usage is concerned, most mainstream apps have designed a landscape mode for the iPad. Of course, there are also many apps that do not have a landscape mode, just copy the apps on the iPhone as they are, or simply zoom in. Among the apps Xiaolei personally uses, only shopping apps are in portrait mode. If users use Taobao and JD.com, it is still quite influential.
The phenomenon of “jelly rolling” is more obvious in slow-motion videos. In actual use, everyone’s eyes may have different perceptions of the screen refresh rate. Apple authorized stores are relatively popular across the country. Users who are concerned about this issue may wish to go to the store to actually experience it. If your frequently used App is in portrait mode on the iPad, you might as well install it to get a feel for it.
iPad mini 6 is equipped with the latest A15 Bionic chip. Although the chip’s main frequency is castrated compared to the iPhone 13 Pro series, the problem of heat and brightness reduction is much less than that of the iPhone 13 Pro. The size is small, very suitable for playing mobile games, many people also buy iPad mini 6 for this. Most of the games are in landscape mode, so players don’t need to worry about this.
