iPhone 4 Interlacing effect
Hey guys,
Just got a new black iPhone 4 16GB the other day along with my girlfriend (She got the White 16GB). After only a few hours of use I started to notice these weird interlacing/scan lines showing up on the phone.
They predominantly show up best on a higher brightness level + dark background, but can be seen almost all the time when you're changing focus from one item on the screen to the next. This post here shows exactly what I'm talking about. Seeing them is quite disappointing in two ways. First, it makes me feel like I'm getting an inferior product than I was expecting, and second, because it's distracting when you're using the phone to see these lines pop up whenever you're looking around the screen.
I've checked my girlfriend's phone, and this issue is non-existant. Her screen is nice and smooth, with clean corners and no sign of any interlacing. I've already called up AppleCare once, and even went to the Apple store and had the phone replaced. The new phone is having the exact same issue, while my girlfriend's remains crystal clear.
I've set up another callback appointment for tomorrow to let them know it's still going on, but I don't want to seem like I just have OCD or something.
Has anyone else had this issue before/resolved it in any way? I'm currently running 4.3.3.
Thanks
iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.3
