That's harder to do and that's why there are these shifts on one side. You're trying to take a controller that's normally 1.25 - 1.3 times larger, shrinking it down, and making it do the same thing. He continued: “you're trying to take technology built for bigger iPads and shrink it down.
Normally the controller sits at the bottom and it's refreshing this way so you're not really going to be able to see that refresh difference." So it's refreshing the screen from the side, rather than below. “The iPad mini 6 has all of its controllers sat vertically, not horizontally. Part of that is down to the size of the iPad mini. Apple has since claimed that this is normal, but why does it happen? Panesar says the lag likely exists on other iPads, it just isn’t as noticeable. There are several posts on the Apple community pages, on Reddit and it has been spotted by reviewers. Some owners have also complained about a “jelly scrolling” problem where one side of the display lags behind the other in motion. In the Reddit user's video it doesn't look like much pressure is applied to trigger the distortion effect, so regularly tapping the display - perhaps from playing video games - could leave an imprint over time.ĭisplay distortion isn’t the only issue affecting the iPad mini. Panesar also pointed out that part of the issue is the possibility of long-term damage to the iPad's display. Have they split production over two factories? With one factory putting in the seal one way and the other one isn't? I don't know what the split is because there shouldn't be any variations in this.” “As far as I can see, and everything that I've read and people have reported, it's only in the Wi-Fi models.
Panesar isn’t sure why some devices are affected while others aren’t. There also doesn't appear to be any questions on Apple's support forums. The number of complaints about this problem is small at the moment, most of which come from a handful of Reddit posts.
