I agree, almost a year later after having my 5 without interlacing, I still love the screen and enjoy how quality it is.
I want to call you all crazy but I'll wait. I set that image as my home screen and saw nothing strange. Anyone have a video of the issue? I've never seen an interlacing issue on an iPhone.
Solution, don't use those images as a background.....![]()
Then maybe you were lucky enough or have the issue it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Look at this thread

Yes, yes, yes!So, I went to my local apple store today to have a look at the new iPhones and some of the display models still had screens with really bad vertical interlacing...
Why isn't Apple cracking on these providers to properly calibrate their screen refresh rates which is where the problem originates?
Something important here. Now with iOS 7, this image won't flicker on the home screen anymore because the shading towards the dock is gone, and the image doesn't display properly anyway due to parallax resizing it, even with reduce motion on.
It will still flicker when you open the image in Safari, then tap and hold the image to save it. When the screen dims to give you the option to save, the whole screen starts flashing subtly.

Exactly right.
My current iPhone 5 has interlacing, but my wife's doesn't. My launch day unit didn't have it, but the sleep/wake button died a few weeks ago and I had to get a replacement. The screen on my replacement is much more clear and crisp, and closer to a 6500k calibration, but it has interlacing. My original unit was pretty dingy and low-contrast overall. Always a trade-off.
It is possible to have a screen that has good contrast and no interlacing. They don't have to be mutually exclusive you know
I definitely know that. My wife has one. I just don't feel like playing the lottery anymore.
