Samsung Tab S5e had this issue but not Tab S6 or S7 (and certainly not on Tab S4 and S2)

    i was satified about ipad mini 6 its way better than before.. i bought the 64gb with cellular space gray.. love it

      There's a lot of extra space here. Should we fill it with headphone jack or a useless plastic brick?

        Now 🍎 says it's not a big issue. As fan says.

          Fan boys sacrificed

                Anonymous, 30 Sep 2021Hard to believe apple use cheap displayWhats there hard to believe ? They use all the time low quality materials just to get higher profit. Apple users are not the smartest people and there trolls always see them as the highest quality product and keep on trolling it even tough time and time again we see news about there low quality in build or materials used.

                And Apple know how to play with placebo effect with higher price tag make you feel the product is quality. Even tough blind people who would pic 2 different device up would not feel the quality difference from 1000 euro phone or 200 euro phone if both have same materials either plastic or metal body

                  Anonymous, 30 Sep 2021Apple users will defend this.I'm an Apple user and I'm not trying to defend them here but this is a hardware limitation when using the display in another orientation than it's main side. What can they do, really? The iPad mini is an entry-level tablet - and yes I know it's 500$ but I think we can move on from the discussion that Apple is just a more expensive brand than it's competitors.

                      "Apple could be using a cheaper display panel than usual here", - ha, ha. And nothing new here. Apple cares only on their profits. Customers "can eat" their amazing as is. The only main thing is - Apple logo on case. ))

                            Apple has always used inferior displays in anything other than their high-end products. iPod Touch 4th gen had the Retina resolution of the iPhone 4, but was not an IPS panel but a cheaper panel that had gross viewing angle uniformity of IPS found on the phone. Same with iPad Mini 2, horrible viewing angles plus I think it was not fully laminated like the Air at the time. Now, only the Pros get HRR and even then only the larger model gets the fancy Mini-LED backlight while this poor Mini is stuck with this cheap panel and no HRR. And they have the audacity to charge $500 for a base model with only 64GB of storage.

                                the sad part is that this will be the most sold tablet ever

                                      Cheaply made by Apple.
                                      No surprise.
                                      They will fix it in next-Gen
