iFixit reveals iPad mini 7 teardown and addresses jelly scrolling improvements

macrumors.com

iFixit released a teardown video of the new iPad mini 7, highlighting improvements in the device's "jelly scrolling" issue. This problem, which causes screen tearing, was noted by some users of the previous iPad mini 6. Reviewers found that "jelly scrolling" is less noticeable on the iPad mini 7. Apple had previously described this effect as normal for LCD displays but has made unspecified changes to address it in the latest model. Despite speculation that Apple altered the display controller's position, iFixit confirmed it remains the same as in the iPad mini 6. The exact methods used to reduce the issue are still unclear.
