Apple accused of fraudulent marketing over iPad mini 6 ‘jelly screen’: class action lawsuit filed
Colorado resident Christopher Bryan filed a class action lawsuit against Apple on Wednesday, accusing the company of fraudulent marketing and releasing a sixth-generation iPad mini despite the company knowing about the jelly screen.
A few days after the release of the iPad mini 6 tablet in stores, users have noticed a “jelly scrolling” effect on the tablet’s display, which Apple claims is normal LCD screen behavior.
The lawsuit, filed in Northern California District Court, alleges that Apple is aware of the problem but continues to sell the iPad mini without fixing the defect or amending its promotional materials to reflect the defect.
Well-known resource iFixit disassembled the iPad mini 6 and after analysis made a statement regarding the “jelly scrolling” effect, which is not uncommon for LCD and OLED panels. iFixit suggests that this may be due to the design of the tablet and the location of the special chip on the screen of the iPad mini 6. The display controller board is installed vertically inside the device, not horizontally, as in the fourth generation iPad Air.
The lawsuit requires Apple to return the money to all buyers in the United States who purchased the iPad Mini 6.

The world’s first tablet with support for two-way satellite communication: Huawei MatePad Pro 11 2024 presented
Today, Huawei officially unveiled the MatePad Pro 11 2024 tablet computer, and it turned out to be the first device in its category to support two-way satellite communication – it is implemented only in China through the national Beidou orbital constellation.
But that’s not all the features: Huawei calls the MatePad Pro 11 2024 “the thinnest 11-inch tablet” – the device is only 5.9 mm thick (and weighs 449 grams).
The MatePad Pro 11 2024 hardware platform is based on the Kirin 9000S SoC with a slightly reduced frequency: the device scores 1244 points in the single-threaded Geekbench test and 3793 points in the multi-threaded test. The device received an OLED screen, occupying 92% of the front panel area, and support for 66 W charging.
Huawei MatePad Pro 11 2024 is offered in two configurations: 12/256 GB for $600 and 12/512 GB for $670.

The flagship tablet Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro will be released along with Xiaomi 14 Ultra, but its characteristics are already known
Xiaomi is working on a new tablet called Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro, the characteristics of which were discovered in the MIUI firmware code.
According to GSMChina, the device will be equipped with a 10-inch LCD panel manufactured by Tianma. The LCD panel will have a resolution of 1480 x 2367 pixels and will support a refresh rate of 144 Hz. Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro had a size of 11 inches. The new Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro will be a smaller tablet in comparison.
Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro will be built on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 single-chip system. The Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro used the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. The new tablet should be faster than its predecessor. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is used, we recall, in Xiaomi 13.
There are two cameras on the back of the tablet. These are the main camera and the depth camera. On the front panel there is a front camera for taking selfies. There are no characteristics yet
The new tablet is equipped with 4 speakers. Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro will only be available in the Chinese market. The device will be released with the HyperOS operating system based on Android 14 out of the box.
In addition, there is information that the standard Xiaomi Pad 7 will be sold on the global market. The tablets are expected to be officially launched alongside the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in April next year.
The Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro tablet will be very, very productive. According to leaks, it will be based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
Information about the new product was found in Mi Code, so the launch is probably not far off. In addition to an excellent platform, the tablet, hiding behind the code name Sheng, will also have a 144-Hz 10-inch screen with a resolution of 2367 x 1480 pixels and four speakers.
As a result, the new Xiaomi product will be one of the most productive tablets on the market. There are still very few models with SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and none with Gen 3 yet, and they are unlikely to appear in the coming months.
You can remember that the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro model is equipped with at least 8 GB of RAM and a battery with a capacity of 8600 mAh, so the new model should be no worse.
