flickering/ghosting keyboard on iphone 5?

When I enter my password in the app store, lines begin to flicker across rows of the keyboard.

Here is an example. This has happened on my last two visits to the app store. The first two or three times there was no problem. This is the only context in which I observe the flickering keyboard. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hey, just to let you all know, I have the same problem, flickering lines on App Store password keyboard. Thinking about it logically, it has to be a software issue, it's localised within the software (I.e. App Store login screen) if it was hardware it would happen everywhere. How would the screen know you we're typing your password into the App Store? Anyone else agree?


On the upside, love the iPhone 5, it's my first iphone and couldn't be happier!:)

I've had it on the black AND blue App Store keyboard so don't think it's localised to the black app keyboard. So it seems to be App store keyboards, that just reassures me it's a software issue. I think the more serious screen issues on the net are separate from ours. Even if it is hardware, which I'm sure it's not, I heard that screens can be replaced in store, which is good news. Anyone know the right number to call to get it on apples radar like psychor suggested?
