Hi, my iphone 5 keeps crashing like every 2 - 3 minutes

I received my iphone 5 yesterday and it crashed within 2 - 3 minutes of switching on, i didnt think anything of it at the time and connected it to itunes to activate it and copy my apps across. Yet again, whilst synching it crashed every 2 - 3 minutes. i let it finish sycnhing and tried the handset whilst disconnected but the problem remained. So i put the phone into recovery mode and fully restored the phone, but yet again the problem persists. It happens no matter what you are doing, or even if you arent using the phone. The screen basically freezes for a split second and then red or green (faint) vertical lines appear before the phone instantly shuts down and reboots

I got an iPhone5S on launch day and Friday 10/19 I had to replace it because I kept getting the Blue Screen of Death.


The Apple Store gave me a brand new phone. Today, 3 days later, the new phone keeps crashing. It won't even turn on and yes it is fully charged. I get the BSOD and sometimes after the apple appears on the screen it switches into shut-down mode (with the spinning circle). It will not start.


Looks like I'm going back to the Apple Store to see what they can do.


I'm pretty disappointed with Apple's quality control of this product.

You will only have the inconvenience of shipping your phone to them if you are willing ot pay a $700 Hoald fee. I know this because I have a iphone 5 and have had problems with it in the pass and I have no Apple Store in this area when I called Apple they toald me they woulnd need to put $700.00 on hoald untill they get my phone back. I understand this is to make sure they get the phone back but their are other ways to do this. In most cases they get the phone back so all they would need to do os bill them in payments if they dont get the phone back because who the **** can pay $700 in full these days.
