Hi Robert,
Thanks for the encouragement... So, as it happens, I did all of the things
you suggest below, including getting a whole new iPhone from the Apple Store
-- end result, same problem. The geniuses had no ideas -- I made them
listen to what voice over was saying when it read what appears to be lines
of code and they had no suggestions beyond what we had already done.
So both our phones have been fully reset like new, and in my case I got a
brand new phone, and then I pulled down apps one at a time, being somewhat
more selective in what I chose to reload, and still I get the same issue.
Very bizarre, quite annoying, and I'm out of ideas. How can this continue
to be a problem? And why my phones an apparently no one else's? It's just
weird.
Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate that.

Hi Brian,
I agree with others that this issue has to be either a setting or more
likely a corrupted app. I would make sure that you have a backup of your
phone and restore it to the factory defaults. This would involve erasing
everything that is currently on the phone. Try using iOS 7 with no apps
installed and see if the problem is still there. Assuming that it is not, I
would then install apps one at a time. Not from a backup but by
redownloading them either through iCloud or from the app store.
It is very likely that once you have all new copies of the apps, this
problem will be gone. You will have to do this same process with your wife's
phone if it fixes things on yours.
Good luck,
Robert Carter

All,
I continue to have serious problems with my iPhone 5 since I upgraded
mine and my wife's phones to IOS7... The screen appears to be littered
with long strings of symbols, starting with "square root" repeated
about a hundred times, then a long series of other nonsensical symbols.
This happens when I flick around the screen, or go to the top of
bottom of the screen... I get this square root thing... If I flick
back and forth a bit, it then reads me the line I'm looking for, but only
with some effort.
This is very intrusive and renders the phone almost useless.
I've been to the Apple Store twice now, and fully restored my phone
and set it up as a new phone... And still I have this issue.
I will go back again to the Apple Store for the third time, but I
wanted to see if anyone else out there has experienced this... Is this
just the new landscape of IOS? Do I have to put up with all this
garbage in order to interact with my screen? Or is there just
something wrong with my specific phone...
Any feedback on this issue would be very much appreciated as this
situation is extremely frustrating. It reminds me of how fragile our
spiffy technology is, and how dependent we are on it when we lose it.
Thank you so much.
