Almost from the first day the 6th generation iPad mini was released, users have been complaining about “jelly-like scrolling.” The Sticky moniker refers to an issue where the screen tears when scrolling through content when using the device in portrait orientation.
Since the release of the 6th generation iPad mini in September 2021, some users have noticed that text on their iPad mini appears slightly uneven when scrolling the iPad mini vertically. I am reporting that I have noticed it. As I scroll, the text on the left side of the screen appears slightly behind the text on the right side. Some users didn’t mind this issue, but others said that once they notice it, it’s hard to ignore, it’s frustrating to look at, and it can cause eye strain.

Snell did not say where he got his information, but it is likely that he received it from someone within Apple. Mr Snell said there was only an “intimation” that a fix had been made. “I don’t think so,” he said. “And maybe even better. And maybe gone.”
When this problem occurred with the 6th generation iPad mini, the well-known repair company iFixit found that one possible reason for the tearing issue in portrait mode was that Apple replaced the display’s controller board within the device with a traditional As mentioned above, it is installed vertically rather than horizontally. Other iPad models.
Available for pre-order now, the new iPad mini will be in stores and in your doorstep on Wednesday, October 23rd. And we should be hearing soon whether there will be no more “jelly scrolls”.
