but I'm already on my 3rd iPhone 5..
OK. This is a user to user community.... what do you want us to do about it?
Well, I was wondering is there a limit as to how many replacments you can get but this is getting crazy.
Not that I'm aware of.
It sure looks like you're putting an awful lot of pressure on it. It is an LCD after all... If you put enough pressure on it, you'll distort it like that. I'm surprised you haven't broken it...
How does it behave when being used normally?
I am using light pressure but I normally see this green background light when unlocking the screen.

There seem to be lots of reports of this. Interestingly, the one above ties it to the placment of the (green) messages icon.
My iPhone 5 screen was turning green, then jumping from about from different screens and also licking me out of the home screen. Now there is a large ink mark on the screen, has anyone else had the problem? What can be done about this?
