Mine is missing a row of pixels from top to bottom on left side. Very hard to see but once u see it! Its driving me nuts! Also having a issue setting up one of my email accounts. Can't send emails although they go to the sent folder? They never arrive at the email address i sent it to! WTF!!! Anyone??
In my case, it is several row of pixels blinking around the lower part the screen. I saw it twice so far. annoying!
Looks like there's quite a bit of phones where that same exact spot is being pushed up/down on the screen. Apple ***** the bed yet again.
I thought I had a perfect phone but just a few moments ago, as I was typing my password to download a new app in the app store, a few little glitchy lines appeared down at the keyboard on either side of the screen, starting at the edge and coming in to just about halfway over the A and L buttons. only appeared for a few seconds as I was typing it in. Tried to nab a screenshot to see if it would show up, but no dice. It's as if about 4 or 5 random lines of pixels started spazzing out for a bit. That's the first and only time I've noticed it all day so far. I've had the phone since 10 this morning. If it ever happens again, I'll probably head up to an Apple Store or at least try to document it if I can.
*edit* in case it matters: Phone was plugged into my Mac at the time.

Here's some additional video of the keyboard flicker issue: http://youtu.be/yz-QeXVfzKQ. I was entering my password while buying an app in the app store.
I returned mine to the store where I bought it from, was in and out in 10 minutes with a new sealed box (when i had my 3g replaced a few years ago they just swapped out the phone). The new phone has been fine so far. I bought the phone sim-free so if you bought it alongside a new contract in store it could take a bit longer.
Antenna problem in iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 is suffering from screen issues... i think Apple will name its upcoming iPhone model... iProblem...!
Just got the iPhone 5 and have a screen "burn in" / halo effect going on. Annoyed but glad to see I'm not the only one. Been on the phone with Sprint for nearly 5 hours over the last few days. Now the phone isn't available for 2 weeks. Of course the return policy is 14 days. What a pain!
Yep. That's what I saw except it didn't go across the whole screen. Mine only stayed along the edge of the screen on both sides.
But I have not seen it happen again. I've been going through downloading free apps to see if I can replicate it. Hopefully it was just a weird "first time app purchase" glitch.
