Cupertino-based Apple is preparing to launch the next-generation iPad Mini, which is expected to address the ongoing "jelly scrolling" issue in its predecessor..

According to a report from9to5Mac, Apple has re-engineered the screen assembly to mitigate this design flaw, which caused one half of the display to refresh more slowly than the other, creating a wobbling effect during scrolling. ..

However, despite this improvement, the iPad Mini 7 is still expected to feature a 60Hz refresh rate and continue using LCD technology..

The "jelly scrolling" issue on the previous iPad Mini 6 has led to a class-action lawsuit against Apple, with some users claiming that the flaw makes the device unusable.".

While Apple has yet to confirm which chip the iPad Mini 7 will use, speculation suggests that it could be powered by the A17 Pro chip or the A18 chip, both of which would bring considerable performance improvements and Apple Intelligence support to the device..
