Apple is suing over an alleged scrolling defect on the iPad mini 6.
When the iPad mini 6 was released last year, some users noticed that the tablet had a scrolling issue that was very inconsistent, with line scrolling out of sync, so to speak. Apple later stated that this was not a problem per se, suggesting that this was all normal and that the Cupertino company would not be recalling products as it believed there was nothing to fix.

Today, it would seem that this inaction has led to a complaint, or rather, to the creation of a class action lawsuit, against the company. According to the filing, the plaintiff alleges that because of this erroneous scrolling effect, “users experienced motion sickness, nausea, vomiting, and migraines when using the device due to this malfunction.”
The complaint also alleges that the Apple brand is aware of this “defect”and continues to sell the tablet despite this, and that it takes no action to try to fix it, or at least correct its marketing materials to report this. problem. The lawsuit even says that Apple is trying to keep the issue under wraps and accuses the Cupertino-based company of fraud, violation of California competition laws and false advertising.
about screen scrolling
Apple, for its part, has stated that this effect is considered “normal behavior”with LCD screens. This has to do with how LCD panels handle refresh. A delay during refresh can cause this flickering scroll effect. The Apple brand has been using LCD panels in its products for many years, whether it’s an iPad, MacBook, iMac or iPhone, but for some reason the effect is especially noticeable on the iPad.
At this stage, it is impossible to know how this complaint will develop. Apple decides to fight in court, will it seek a settlement? Future will tell.
