iPhone 5 screen interlacing lines
I have this problem with vertical lines running down the screen. It makes everything very distracting as you can see it on places like the grey keyboard background, on blue slider bars, and on/off switches in Settings. The colours just appear not solid and more of a pinstripe effect. In the Safari scroll bar you can see lines running vertically through the shape and they even move like a fuzzy TV screen. When you switch Safari sideways, you see the interlacing lines running horizontally through the scroll bar. Sometimes the issue gets worse when there's motion like when you close an app to go to the homescreen you will see lines on the icon edges.
When comparing with my iPhone 4 and despite the more dull colours, the screen overall looks better and actually Retina. The colours are solid and everything looks sharper. I brought my phone to the Genius bar and no one could see it. They still replaced it thought out of "good intent" and while this unit is better, the display is still noticeably interlaced. The Genius said they have multiple manufacturers so screens may be different, but I can't believe this would be normal for any modern screen. I've seen my friend's phone and there is no trace of interlacing at all, nor did any of the handful of iPhones on display.
I can't imagine living with this screen for the duration of my 3-year contract. I already replaced my first phone because of dust under the display, the second phone they opened had dents everywhere, and the 3rd had very bad interlacing, and this 4th replacement is better, but still not normal in my opinion. I'm losing hope and I might have just stayed with my old phone had I known about this issue.
Does anyone else have these problems and should this be considered "within spec"? I imagine quite a few will have this problem but not everyone can see it (including the 7 Geniuses who looked at my phone).
iPhone 5, iOS 6
