Hey all,
My brand new iPhone 5 has a defective screen. When looking at a slight angle, there is a squiggly row of glowing dots/blobs (not single pixels) running across the top of the screen. It overlays on top of everything that's displayed on the screen such as apps, icons etc... so it's definitely hardware. Anyone else have this?
Going in to the store to hopefully get a swap!
iPhone 5, iOS 6
I am having the same problem with my iPhone 5 black 32gb, which I purchased yesterday at a Verizon store. I initially thought the sceen problem was with the Otterbox Defender screen protector (oil between the screen and screen protector). When I took the case off, it's clear that the defect is in under the surface of the glass. It has light banding around the edges and a very prominent bubble-like smear (as if someone swiped a greasy finger)across the LCD that cannot be seen straight on, but only from an angle. I'm disappointed and I hope I will not have problems swapping it out for a non-defective unit.

A few minutes before, there appeared some short coloured lines across the screen of my iphone 5 (Black 16G), flickering and blurring some words about 3 seconds, and then disappeared.
How do we escalate this issue to apple? it seems that there are a number of users who are having similar issues.
im experiencing the same problem 😟
I am on another discussion and its seems as if some are saying that it is a software issue. It's worth following as one of the posters has escalated the concern to apple. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4329313?answerId=19720809022#19720809022
you guys are merging two completely different issues here! my original post was about glowing dots/blobs...not horizontal lines!
for the glowing blobs, it looks like there are holes in the display and the backlight is leaking through which is definitely hardware.
I took it in to Apple and they immediately replaced the phone without questions! 🙂
I too have an ocasional set of lines running across the screen. I have not figured out to reproduce this on demand, at the moment it seems random.
hi, excuse me... maybe something like this? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4704312?answerId=20904006022#20904006022.
