Cost savings are not so cost-effective! Apple is in a class-action lawsuit for iPad jelly screen: to lose money?

On February 11, foreign media MacRumors reported that on the problem of the large-scale "jelly screen" that appeared on the iPad mini 6, the Users of Colorado in the United States officially filed a class action lawsuit, accusing Apple of knowing that the product was defective and still selling, suspected of false publicity and fraud.

In response to the "jelly scrolling" problem when the iPad mini 6 is vertical, Apple responded to the media that this is the normal behavior of lcd screens. Because these screens refresh line by line, this causes a delay issue between the top row and the bottom row of the screen, which can lead to a "jelly scroll" effect.

In this regard, Xiao Lei made a physical test. In slow motion, it is clear that the displays on the left and right sides of the screen are not synchronized, and the left side is obviously slower. This effect is more pronounced on the iPad mini 6, but not on the iPad Air 4 and iPad 9. For now, Apple doesn't see this as a hardware and software problem that needs to be addressed.

Some maintenance companies speculate that the controller board of the display is installed vertically inside the device, rather than horizontally like the fourth-generation iPad Air, so the jelly effect of the iPad mini 6 will be much more serious.

For the class action lawsuit filed by users, Xiao Lei is absolutely supportive, for manufacturers can not be accustomed, not to be a spiritual shareholder, product problems, consumers should reasonably use various channels to fight for interests. Even if the class action lawsuit is not successful, it will cause a great public opinion effect, which will also restrict the behavior of manufacturers when designing products in the future. There will be a more complete process during the product validation phase to ensure that the final product is as free as possible from hardware problems.

So, do domestic consumers still want to buy the iPad mini 6? Xiao Lei felt that this still depended on the use of individuals. As far as the use of Xiaolei is concerned, most mainstream apps have designed a horizontal screen mode for the iPad, of course, there are many applications that do not have a horizontal screen mode, but the applications on the iPhone are copied as they are. In the App used by Xiao Lei personally, only the shopping App is the vertical screen mode, and if the user brushes Taobao and JD.com, it is still quite influential.

Due to this problem in the iPad mini 6, if the small partner is mainly used horizontally, you can consider buying this device in the second-hand market, which can have more bargaining space.
