Ipad Mini 6 reportedly has an intrinsic, annoying display issue called 'jelly scrolling' in portrait mode, due to the vertical orientation of the controller that drives the display. Apple has said it's 'by design' and the hardware will not be changed. Some users find it annoying enough to return their Mini, others think it's acceptable.

I was about to upgrade my Mini 5 to a Mini 6, but decided to wait one more generation. Put me down in the group that finds this annoying, especially in such a pricey tablet. As a lot of the articles on this issue have said, many/most tablets have this issue to some degree, but things like higher refresh rates, and orientation of the hardware on the board, can mitigate this problem for most users. Unfortunately it's more noticeable in the Mini 6.
