Much like the Samsung vs Apple saga that has continued week after week, so to has the amount of iPhone 5 complaints that have arisen. These complaints aren’t just isolated incidents either, they have been reported numerous times, in numerous countries.<\/p>\n
This time it\u2019s a problem with the screen flickering when the keyboard pops up for you to start typing on. Have you noticed anything like this yet?<\/p>\n
4 years I’ve used iOS, just saw part of iPhone keyboard flickering for the first time. A bug maybe? Steve Jobs would’ve never allowed it!<\/p>\n

At the moment speculation has it, that the issue is being caused by a software fault on the phones but Apple as of yet haven’t released any kind of statement to what it actually is that causes the flickering.<\/p>\n

So What Happens?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As soon as the keyboard is launched on the iPhone 5 the rest of the screen distorts, showing jagged lines (one source explains that it is like an old TV trying to find the right channel frequency).<\/p>\n

The iPhone 5 screen flickering thing does sound likely to be software-related in that most reports see it triggered by keyboard or folders. \u2014 Jeremy Horwitz (@horwitz) October 8, 2012<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not sure if iPhone screen is flickering or just auto-brightness. \u2014 Elly R (@GertyRoyboy) October 4, 2012<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyone else have flickering screen issues on iPhone 5? Mostly see it at bottom while in App Store.<\/p>\n
