The new iPad Mini 7 is generating many expectations among users who expected significant improvements after the problems of the previous model. One of the most frequent complaints about the iPad Mini 6, released in 2021, was “jelly scrolling”, an annoying effect that caused the screen to desynchronize when scrolling text or images, generating an uncomfortable visual experience.
With the arrival of the iPad Mini 7, it appears that Apple has taken steps to resolve this situation with adjustments to the display hardware.
