I think it depends on how are you going to use it for work. If you are going to write submission or going through the data etc, Mini doesn’t seem like a good choice but if you just need to check your email, calendar, write some points or read the document etc, Mini should be more than sufficient.

i find it very obvious

mini 5... the refresh scan is on the landscape side.. so jelly is there
mini 6... the refresh scan is on the portrait side

usually ppl read text in portrait mode, that's why ppl complained about it

this can't be fixed by software..
apple can choose to mitigate it by using 120 hz refresh, or changing the line refresh scan back to landscape

ipad pro should be same refresh scanning at portrait side
ipad air is landscape refresh scanning

i tried to view on my ipad pro 12.9", 120hz refresh
i cannot detect jelly effect

if i drop drop it to 60hz refresh scan, i can detect slight jelly effect
but not as bad as mini, which is weird...
i think the panel they sourced is prob cheap or cmi type / or it's less obvious if the screen is larger

In this case, 11" pro / air > mini for portability if ppl cannot stand the jelly effect
there's no other way

I bought it using the Apple Store app on iPhone and it provides the option to select the collection date and time. After that, they will send an email with the QR code to be scanned by the staff when you arrive.

I turned up half an hour earlier but was allow to collect immediately, was before 5pm on Friday, so probably less crowded. If you turned up at a different time, it will probably depends on the crowd to see how soon you can enter to get it.

For the Jelly effect, I can see it if I keep sliding the text up and down after turning on scrolling in iBooks but all my reading apps use page flipping, so I never noticed it while using.

That why people keep mentioning camp at website.. As and when u free, just go in using the apple store app and see got available for collections or not. Timing is not specific but morning 7am sometimes they update stocks, night time 10-12midnight, I camp before and got my iPad Mini Purple, etc.. U just have to go in see see look look whenever u are free.

Yes, I've been checking day and night, even middle of the night. 😁 Thanks to you guys, at least I know I'm camping at the correct site. 👍
