My body is ready. I freakin love the mini 6. If the 7 got Face ID and larger storage I would be soooooo happy.

Does anyone know if the "jelly scroll" issue was ever fixed? I wanted a Mini 6 but the jelly issue turned me off, especially since I read it was a hardware issue and wouldn't be fixed.

I tried one out for a short time and returned it. If I recall the jelly scroll was due to the way the screen physically refreshed, and unless they changed the hardware completely, it was not solvable. I also had issues with my unit where pressing even slightly on the screen, like normal tap usage, caused some sort of big light distortion. Also not having face unlock is a big deal for me, I love being able to just tap the screen and swipe to unlock. Hoping they stop locking that "pro" feature behind an artificially inflated value.

I love my mini. I’d like to see apple make a keyboard trackpad case for this size
