nice job apple dumbing down the human race 1 kid at a time !
Regardless, what difference does it make? It is a glass shelf for crying out loud which doesn't change or affect anything. There is not a setting to reveal or not reveal this glass shelf.
Unfortunately, you can't hide the dock. The iPhone does have limits on what you can and can't do with it. There are more phones that are 100% customizable but the iPhone isn't one.

I have always seen the "dock" as you call it on the iPhone.
But some wallpapers show it up more then others.
So it could be that you can see it more clear now than before.
Checked with a friend who has same phone, they don't have it either.
Are you saying your friend does not have the shelf?
Could you post screen grabs please?
If you buy a new phone from the shop, the icons are visible but not the dock/glass shelf
There used to be a much more pronounced dock, but it has become more subtle and glass shelf like recently:
You cannot replace or remove this without jailbreaking.
Many thanks to yourself and hexonxonx for responding to my post. I took the phone into a phone shop today to ask them if they had come across the issue before. They said that if I had upgrading the operating system recently, that could be the reason it reappeared. I had upgraded from 5.0 to 5.0.1 and had also upgraded iTunes. It was the day after i synced that the dock appeared. I'm assuming that it may due to the above, that the dock is now visible as my phone is not hacked or jailbroken. (I'll check with my friend to see if it is less visible because of their wallpaper).
I upgraded and wish I had not, there are all these little line build up at bottom of my S5 phone.
How can Imget rid of the them?
That's the thing I'm trying to get rid of. Maybe there's a way to do it.

No, there is not.
I went to the Apple Store & somebody showed me how to reduce the transparency. That is what it can be done.
