A class action complaint has been filed against Apple, claiming that the iPad mini 6’s “jelly scrolling” problem makes the gadget “unusable.”
Claims alleging the “jelly scroll” issue on sixth-generation iPad mini devices have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California by Christopher Bryan on Wednesday,
It wasn’t long before customers started experiencing a “jelly” sensation while scrolling on the iPad mini 6 following its introduction. The problem was caused, it seems, by a slower refresh rate on one side of the device’s display than the other.
The plaintiff also claims that “users have claimed motion sickness, nausea, vomiting, and headaches while using the Device owing to the Defect,” according to the complaint, which was originally discovered by MacRumors.
In September 2021, Apple said that the “jelly effect” was typical behaviour for LCD panels and that it was not a problem. There are other LCD panels with “jelly scrolling” issues, but none are as severe as the iPad mini’s, according to the complaint filed on Wednesday.
It’s also claimed, in the complaint, that despite being aware of this flaw, Apple continues to promote and sell the iPad mini in its present state without making any changes to address the problem. According to the lawsuit, Apple is “concealing” the fact that the iPhone is malfunctioning. Lawsuit charges Apple with fraud as well as breaking California competition and misleading advertising statutes, according to the precise claims.
Buyers of the iPad mini 6 are suing for damages and monetary compensation under the lawsuit, which calls for a jury trial.
