Disassembly of the iPad mini 7 showed that the “jelly scrolling” problem was solved without changes to the display hardware

IFixit has published a teardown report of the new iPad mini 7, which confirms that Apple did not make changes to the display hardware to fix the jelly scrolling problem, as many expected. The issue seems to have been resolved at the display controller level.

The problem with jelly scrolling is that one half of the screen refreshes more slowly than the other, causing a noticeable and rather unpleasant judder effect as you scroll through content. In the new iPad mini, this effect has been significantly reduced, and some users have even stated that it has disappeared completely. However, opinions are divided – some believe that the problem has been solved, others only talk about an improvement compared to the previous iPad mini 6 model, writes 9to5Mac.

It was previously reported that a possible solution is not related to changes in the display hardware, but to the optimization of the screen controller, which allowed Apple to avoid radical changes in the design of the display itself. Journalist Federico Viticci of MacStories said: “I’m pleased to report that the scrolling issue has been resolved in the new iPad mini without the need to change display technology. The optimized display controller ensures uniform updates across the entire panel at the same speed.”

Thus, iFixit’s teardown of the iPad mini 7 confirmed that Apple did not make significant changes to the device’s display hardware and focused on software optimization.
