Defective iPhone 5 Screen :(

I have the exact same thing, also when asked to enter a password. Resolved itself as soon as the password window was closed. Haven't seen it happen in any other situations...wonder if it's software related.
Same thing. Was entering the password while buying a song and the second row had a weird line for a sec. Not too worried, probably a software bug. No other problems what so ever.
I just noticed this same thing when entering my password! I wonder if this is something that can be fixed with an update?? Or if I should call Apple...
Same thing here... Read this last night and thought "damn that sucks". Then just today I was purchasing something with the exact same issue on my iPhone. Starting to think its software and not a screen problem because my screen has been pretty great no issues otherwise. I think we would see it on other pages, not just the keyboard.
*raises hand*
Also experiencing this issue, as per the photo posted earlier in the thread.
(I also have a separate issue where the ear piece is distorting and 'robofying' all sound it emits. Speaker mode has no such issue, so could be hardware fault).
Will aim to get a replacement.

I have the same problem with the distortion across the keys when entering my password to purchase a song from iTunes. I took a screen shot using the home and lock keys, but instead of capturing the distortion, it stopped it. I could not replicate this issue again.
Eeeek. So maybe this isn't a small percentage after all
If people are seeing this when they enter passwords, perhaps is some of this a software glitch rather than a display issue? Maybe some bad screens are out there, but maybe other screens are just fine.
I've noticed those horizontal lines mostly on the password prompt for the app store, but I also got it just now when opening an app folder. I think it has something to do with the animation of something sliding up into view... No screenshot unfortunately because like somebody else in this thread I just learned that the flash animation refreshes the screen and wipes the error.
Once I can replicate it I might just use it to refresh my handset when I feel it's looking worn, because the issue itself doesn't really bother me that much

Now here's a bit of honesty so refreshing, you put the other people who are addicted to lying, exaggerating & story telling to shame!
You've certainly earned my respect
Cheers...
If you bought it from Apple than you have 30 days. If you bought it from lets say Verizon than you have 14 days
Respectfully...
Posting a link without the courtesy of some commentary is a bit inconsiderate.
Hope you guys are sending a bug report to Apple....

I got the same issue as well.
Here's my video :

hmmm... taking it to apple store.
I also saw flickering on the keyboard of my iPhone 5 when I was activating it and signing into my apple id but I haven't seen the keyboard flicker again. Once yesterday I saw a few green pixels come up in a line when I was opening a folder for a second. But it went away.
Do you think this is hardware or software? Thanks.

So called Apple, they offered to swap device (they always do when something is this new), but I have asked for a case ID instead. It seems kinda brainless to swap too soon. This could end up being a issue with a memory leak on a web based app (app store). I haven't had any issues with any other apps. In fact the phone is performing very well. I will keep an eye on this over the coming days and if it does look like a hardware issue I will insist on a full new boxed replacement (not refurb service phone!) as I am entitled under UK law within 7 days of purchase.
I have seen this kind of thing happen in browsers before on known working laptop hardware. Fingers crossed! I will be watching these threads closely.
