iPad 4 Screen Flicker while in App Store

While simultaniosly downloading an app in Apple's App Store and scrolling though the store, the screen flickers or glitches during the scroll on my new iPad 4. Are others having this issue. Might this be a software issue or hardware issue. Just wondering if I need to take it back to the Apple store. I have not seen this problem while running other apps, but have only had the ipad for two days.

iPad, iOS 6.0.1

I noticed this also. I have a 14hour old iPad 4, who just updated itself to iOS 6.0.1. i was on an app "SystemTools" when it flickered.


A few hours after I bought it, i was on appstore and was browsing and downloading simultaneously, i encountered the flicker as i scroll up while browsing apps.


is this normal? should i return this? anybody know a solution?



Thanks Everyone!


this is my very first apple device.

I just got my Ipad 4 yesterday. I only used it for less than 30 minutes and the screen flickered in the apps store several times, but I also had little lines go in the screen near the bottom as if there was a glitch in the screen. I am thinking of returning it, but I am wondering if this is a really common problem? Also, is it likely that I will encounter the same issue again if I exchange it for a new one? It's really disappointing :(

Has this been resolved yet?

If so how?

It seems many people are experiencing this problem . I have had the ipad 2 previous and currently own the 3rd gen and the 4 and i have noticed this only happens on the 4 when quickly scroling thru the app store 'exactly as you all describe'. I tried showing someone in the shop (tesco) but they didn't have the 4 on display. I tried it in apple and it didn't do it??? (Strange)

I am wondering if this applies to an early batch or all of them ?

I bought mine the week of release.
