The iPad mini 6 hasn't been available for two weeks, but it's already suffering from another screen problem. After a problem “jelly scrolling” As previously flagged, some owners are experiencing discoloration and distortion on the tablet's LCD panel.
These issues were spotted by several sixth-generation iPad owners on Reddit.

Reddit user Aromatic-Coat5459 captured screenshots of the issue, and it's not a good view for anyone planning to buy an iPad mini 6.
They also noted that the issue appears to happen “at three points along the top of the screen” when the tablet is being held vertically.

The same user also claims to have visited a local Apple store and was told by an employee to “be on the lookout for a recall” as “it wouldn’t be a surprise if there was one.” Of course, this is all just conjecture and certainly shouldn't be interpreted as confirmation that Apple is planning measures as dramatic as a recall to rectify the problem.
Fortunately, this doesn't appear to be a widespread problem. It's not something we noticed in our iPad mini 6 review, and while some owners on Reddit claim to have replicated the issue, several noted that it's not something they've experienced in their time with the device.

Unfortunately, this is not the only problem that has already been noticed with the iPad mini 6's LCD screen. After a barrage of complaints about “jelly scrolling” – each side of the screen scrolling at a different speed creating a motion effect – Apple was forced to solve the problem. Apple stated that the “jelly scrolling” It’s “not exactly uncommon for Liquid Rentia monitors.”
It's unknown whether Apple will resolve this latest display issue. However, a common theme is emerging with these display issues: they predominantly occur when the tablet is in portrait mode. So if you already have an iPad mini 6, it might be a good idea to keep it locked in landscape mode until Apple provides further comment.
