According to foreign media MacRumors news on February 10, Christopher Bryan, a resident from Colorado, filed a class action lawsuit against Apple (hereinafter referred to as "Apple") on Wednesday local time, accusing Apple of fraudulent marketing, that is, continuing to sell the product in the case of known "jelly screen" defects in the sixth-generation iPad mini.

The reporter learned that the "jelly screen" refers to the fact that the left and right sides of the page are scrolling out of sync, showing a state of distortion like jelly.
According to reports, a few days after the release of the sixth-generation iPad mini in September 2021, some users noticed that when sliding the page in portrait mode, there would be uneven scrolling of the text, and the scrolling speed of the left text lagged significantly behind the text on the right.
The allegations allege that Apple knew of a "jelly screen" defect in the iPad mini 6 but continued to sell the product without fixing the defect and not noting the problem in its marketing materials.
According to previous reports, in September last year, an Apple spokesperson responded to the iPad mini 6 "jelly screen" problem, saying that "this is a normal phenomenon of LCD screens." The US teardown website iFixit also said that this situation is more common on the display, but according to the maintenance company, this situation will be more prominent on the new version of the iPad mini, because its controller board is installed vertically inside the device, rather than horizontally as the fourth-generation iPad mini.
The lawsuit demands compensation for all U.S. users who have purchased a sixth-generation iPad mini, the amount of which has yet to be tried. The proposed class entity still needs to be certified before the class action lawsuit can proceed.
