“#App<\/a>le Says iPad Mini Jelly Scrolling Problem Is Normal, Not a Problem \u2013 Review Geek”<\/strong><\/p>\n

After spending a few days with Apple\u2019s new iPad Mini, early buyers report that the tablet exhibits a prominent \u201cjelly scrolling\u201d effect in portrait mode. Apple made a surprise statement to acknowledge the issue, but unfortunately, the company doesn\u2019t seem interested in finding a solution.<\/p>\n

Jelly scrolling is one of those things that\u2019s often unnoticeable, but once you know it\u2019s there, you can\u2019t unsee it. Basically, it\u2019s a consequence of LCD design. Because LCD displays refresh their lines one at a time, usually from top to bottom, the lower half of a screen refreshes \u201cslower\u201d than its top half. This can cause a tilty screen tearing effect<\/a> when objects move on an LCD\u2014especially if they move diagonally or side to side.<\/p>\n

But when an LCD refreshes its lines from left to right, its screen tearing effect can turn into a jelly scrolling effect. Objects on the right side of the screen may appear to move faster than objects on the left, causing text and images to \u201ctilt\u201d when scrolling up and down.<\/p>\n

This is the effect that people are noticing in the iPad Mini, which refreshes its lines from side to side (instead of top to bottom) when in portrait mode. While a small amount of jelly scrolling should be expected from any iPad, the phenomena is nearly impossible to see on most models, leaving some to believe that the new iPad Mini has some unknown bug or GPU issue.<\/p>\n

Haven’t seen if anybody else reported this but I see when scrolling in portrait mode with a lot of text on the screen there is a small amount of jelly scroll, where one side moves faster than the other. It\u2019s subtle enough that it\u2019s hard for me to film it, but it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n

But Apple disagrees. In a statement to Ars Technica<\/em><\/a>, an Apple spokesperson says that screen tearing and jelly scrolling are \u201cnormal behavior\u201d for LCD panels, implying that the problem doesn\u2019t need to be fixed.<\/p>\n

Yeah, Apple is kind of right. Screen tearing and jelly scrolling effect all LCD panels to some extent. But the jelly scrolling we see on the new iPad Mini is pretty extreme, especially when compared with previous LCD models (such as the iPad Air 3). Also, because there are no reports of iPad Mini screen tearing in landscape mode, it\u2019s hard to accept that this problem isn\u2019t a bug.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still unsure what jelly scrolling or screen tearing look like, go ahead and visit the Blur Busters<\/a> skewing test. Open it in full screen and step a few feet away from your monitor to see how objects \u201ctilt\u201d when moving on an LCD screen. Be sure to run this test in landscape and portrait mode if you\u2019re using a phone or tablet.<\/p>\n

Again, we don\u2019t know if the iPad Mini\u2019s jelly scrolling problem is a bug or not, and we aren\u2019t 100% sure if it affects all new iPad Mini units. But Apple doesn\u2019t seem to care either way, so if you\u2019ve already purchased an iPad Mini, you may feel inclined to return it. Just make sure to get it back to Apple<\/a> before the 14-day return window closes\u2014Apple doesn\u2019t have the same one-month return policy as Amazon and other stores!<\/p>\n
