iPad Mini 2024 Teardown – Did Apple Fix Jelly Scrolling?
It’s been 3 years since the iPad Mini saw an update, but we finally have one here on our teardown table. While this upgrade wasn’t big enough to make it into an announcement video from Apple, we’ve got a lot of questions. We know the Mini got a System on chip upgrade to the A17 Pro, which is part of Apple’s push to bring Apple Intelligence to its entire line of devices. But I think what everyone wants to know is: did they fix the terrible jelly scrolling effect we saw on the Mini 6? We got some answers and they may surprise you.
