has a problem with scrolling (jelly scrolling)
Some Apple Watch Ultra owners are complaining about a scrolling problem called “jelly scrolling.” You will then see a strange distortion while scrolling through messages or apps. iPhoned tells what is going on.
Read on after the ad.
The Apple Watch Ultra is still brand new, but some owners have already found a problem with the premium smartwatch. For example, there are several posts on Reddit and YouTube in which Apple Watch Ultra owners complain about a scrolling problem, also known as ‘jelly scrolling’. You notice while scrolling (for example through your notifications) that one half of the screen shifts faster than the other side.
If you ever play a game on your Mac or PC, you can compare the problem a bit if you don’t turn on the vertical sync option (v-sync). Even then you will see that the image ‘breaks up’ during scrolling.
It’s not the first time we’ve come across the term “jelly scrolling.” The iPad mini 2021 also has this problem. Apple then said to Ars Technica that jelly scrolling is normal for an LCD screen. But the Apple Watch Ultra has an OLED screen…
The scrolling problem on the Apple Watch Ultra doesn’t sound like a big deal, but once you’ve seen it, it’s hard to ignore. In fact, some users find it getting quite irritating. Still, the group that has problems with scrolling on the Apple Watch Ultra is smaller than was the case with the iPad mini 2021.
