iPhone 5 screen glitch?

I just purchased my iPhone 5 yesterday and randomly I have been seeing a weird screen glitch that goes horizontally across the screen, has anyone else had this problem? P.s. if you google iPhone 5 screen glitch there is a YouTube video that someone elSE posted with the same problem that I am having.

My iPhone 5 is also doing something similar. There is a black screen in the top right corner of my phone. It glitches a lot and sometimes, I cannot even type or click on it. In my opinion, you should get a new phone. The iPhone 5 is old and is acting up a lot, as of what I've heard. P.S. My iPhone glitches out so much I took me an hour to write this!

After looking at a couple of YouTube videos of the same problem it seems to happen when using the keyboard or using the keyboard to access iTunes or input your iTunes password. Is anyone else having this problem? And a reboot does nothing because it goes away on it on after a while or if you just hit cancel. However I have rebooted the phone more than once and this will be the third time it's happened.

This is exactly what my phone keeps doing and I am as I said making a trip to the apple store to see if they can fix or replace my phone. It does sound like it might be a software issue from what I am reading but I just don't know enough about that topic to even attempt any off beat ideas. I'll let apple fix their product and I'll let you know what happens my appt is for tomorrow.

@victim187: The problem does not reproduce every time even on my iPhone 5. I tried entering Apple ID password couple dozen times and it doesn't reproduce but definitely happens from time to time. The way the screen starts to flicker it just doesn't "feel" like a software problem. We'll see. I'll give it a bit more time to see what Apple comes back with and if nothing happens I'll take it in for a replacement.
