iPhone 4S random shutdowns?

Can anyone explain to me why my iPhone 4S keeps randomly shutting down during random parts of the day? This is the third time it's happened since the day I got it on its release date. I don't think its overheating because its just in my pocket and its not hot outside. Could I have possibly not closen specific apps correctly and so inturn eventually shuts off to turn the apps off?

TRUST ME THIS WORKED FOR ME:


I was skeptical about restoring my iphone 4s to "factory whatever." It didn't work the first time I did so because when my phone asked me to set up my phone after restoring it, I chose to have it load the last backup I did which was in icloud. This made my iphone act just like it had been.


A few weeks later I reset it again and deleted my backup. Then when it asked me to load a backup I chose no. Now it works like it never used to shut off, freesze or overheat. I could not believe it! Hope this helps someone elese because I was close to buying a new phone.

Well I got mine on thursday - 4s and put ios 7 on it and it shuts down whenever it wants to and have to connect it to my macpro for it to come on again and then it shows 35 or 73% batt life.. *****. Company phone so can't complain loudly but it looks like Apple does not care at all. We will see at the Apple store tomorrow. I am going to complain.. Loudly. It is unusable. It has shut down 7 times in two days.


How dare you APPLE for ignoring all of us. This is all over the web.
