Has this happened to anyone else? All of a sudden horizontal bars appeared uniformly spaced up and down the screen of my iPhone 5. I took it to the apple store where they told me it was not the screen, but something else in the device and the phone had to be replaced. It was 4 days out of warranty and I had to pay a significant price for the replacement. It seems to me, if it was not the screen, then whatever caused the bars was a prodcut malfunction and Apple should have a recall out on it. Any thoughts or comments?
 
Welcome to the iPhoneForums.

See if a backup and restore will fix the issue. It may be a digitizer/screen issue ultimately, and is hard to diagnose unless you rule it out completely by taking the device apart.
 
Same thing happened to me and the Verzion said it was just dead. It was a new replacement iphone 5 and they replaced it within 10 minutes. I also think it is a product malfunction which Apple should just acknowledge.
