iFixit today tore apart one of Apple’s new iPad mini models, and in the process of the teardown, the repair site gave a detailed overview of why the new tablets are displaying an issue that has been dubbed “jelly scrolling.” According to iFixit, jelly scrolling usually isn’t as prominent as it is on Apple’s new 8.3-inch tablet, and it’s caused by the way the screen refreshes. The screen refreshes from one side to another, in a wave-like pattern, rather than all at once. On the iPad mini, iFixit speculates that the direction the screen is scanning is related to the placement of the controller board that drives the iPad mini display, and that’s why there’s jelly scrolling when in portrait mode.
