Quick Google search tells me no. There are recent posts of people complaining about this same problem.
I posted this previously on another mini thread-

I used to be a dissenter of the iPad mini line. Why would you want such a small screen?

That was before I realized that iPads aren't necessarily all to be used in the same fashion. 9.7in (now 10.2) and above always feel natural to me in a portrait or vertical grip. The mini, I now use in a landscape or horizontal grip 90% of the time. This way It gives the experience of a larger screen for reading and browsing the web without the extra bulk of the larger iPads. I love my mini 6 and would recommend it above most other models, if your uses are similar to mine (web browsing, email, video watching, etc…)

Also the whole 'jelly scrolling' doesn't happen horizontally, only vertically so it doesn't seem like an issue imo, it's inconsequential to my uses.
The scaling issue is a hardware problem. There won't be a software fix for it.

Cellular is $90 off as well for the 64GB. Wonder if Best Buy will match?

I only see the $540 price, with no option to select memory capacity. Is that offer available in-tore only? Edit: Found various other iPad offers at Costco's Web site. https://www.costco.com/CatalogSea...word=ipad+.

Great price. I got mine last fall from Adorama when PayPal had the $60 off deal and love it.

Did they ever fix the scaling on the Mini? I bought one at release but returned due to everything is smaller than my iPhone. It's hardly useable.

Does anyone know if in-store price is a bit lower than online for this iPad? Costco online price is usually higher than in-store but not sure if this applies to the iPad. TIA.
