Several users are reporting that the new iPad mini suffers from the so-called « jelly effect, » but Apple says it’s normal behavior.
The iPad mini and its Liquid Retina redesign may have been the best product to come out of Apple’s California Streaming event, but some early adopters are reporting that they are experiencing the so-called “jelly effect” when scrolling where one side scrolls a tiny bit faster than the other giving the appearance of wobbling. Unfortunately, Apple says this is “normal” behavior, according to a response sent to Ars Technica. Apple says that since the iPad mini has an LCD display and does not refresh line by line, “is a tiny delay between when the lines at the top of the screen and lines at the bottom are refreshed,” which can result in uneven scrolling.
