Does Apple Have A Touchscreen Bug In It's Hardware Or Software?


Submitted by Kevmau5; November 09, 2012

According to UK app developer CMA Megacorp, Apple has a great flaw either in the hardware of the iPhone 5 or the software it runs on (IOS 6 & 6.0.1). They revealed via Twitter, that whenever the touchscreen is rapidly swiped back and forth, be it in Maps or Safari or Mail, whatever, the software seems to just...stop for a second. This video by Recombu.com shows exactly what the problem is:

 

After scouring many news sites and reading some of the comments, some are convinced that it is an iPhone 5 problem, while others are insisting that it's software based or just completely random even within iPad, iPhone or iPodtouch. Whatever the case may be, I'm calling all iDevice users to report their own personal experience with this problem in the comments section below or in the forums.

 

Surley it can't be just a random thing. Is there specific models that are affected by this? Manufacture date perhaps?

It's because of the way the digitiser is now built within the LCD and not a separate part like the 4s by doing so it reduces the thickness in the screen thus making the iPhone 5 thinner however this scroll issue should be classed as a limitation or downfall rather than a fault.

How do ino this? Maybe commen sense?

:P
