I have the same problem. Even my ipad 3rd ed is like that after I upgraded to ios7. It happens everytime i play music then use other apps at the same time, once i change apps through double clicking blue screen appears and then reboots itself exactly the same as the video in your link. Maybe its ios7 issue coz it happens both on my ipad 3e and iphone 5s.

Yea it doesnt seem to do it on my ipad mini just my iphone 5s. some other annoying things so far beside the blue screen.


When listening to music on pandora or music app . it wont let me skip to the next song in the lock screen, you have to unlock the phone and skip in the app.


also have had a problem with 2 apps that were stuck on "Wating" and i couldn't delete them. had to go into setting>usage and delete them there. hope they fix these things soon. i hope its a software problem and not the phone.

I've also been experiencing this. Just got my 32gb 5s yesterday and it has blue screen/rebooted at least 20 times. I restored it this morning and within the first 60 seconds it blue screen/rebooted and then again about 10 minutes later. I have only used mail, safari, messages, calendar, phone/contacts, Facebook, & instagam. All of my apps are up to date and I close them out when I'm not using them. I have even turned off iCloud to see if that would help. Still crashing. Last night I was updating my contacts manually and it crashed/rebooted about every 10 minutes at that time. I'm honestly shocked I've been able to type this without it happening. It will soon I'm sure. I've had an iPhone since day one and I'm so very disappointed.

Could it be the A7 64 bit and logic board is too much cpu for the 4 inch sized phone ? Usually bsod's happen for any of a number of reasons ? Defect in a memory register ? Not enough battery power ? Short somewhere ? The iPhone 5s is passively cooled. Then there's always a buggy application ? There was a day when G4 and G5 Apple computers ran much warmer than pc cpu's from Intel & AMD ? Thus a reason why Apple moved to Intel cpu's ? The A7 is also going to power the next gen iPad ? Perhaps even the MacAir ultralight notebooks. Makes no sense to not have more powerful cpu & infrastructure to power those ? Any smartphone that is passively cooled uses the aluminum case to cool and dissipate the heat over the entire unit and use the smartphone as a 4 inch cpu cooler ? I have a HTC One and when I use an after market battery charger, the larger battery sets off overheat warnings during charging, especially with a Otterbox case cover to smother and keep the heat in. The One has a 4.7 inch aluminum case and larger battery too, might cool better but not as effectively as anticipated in a design. No bsod's but it does get quite warm on a hot summer day at times.

I had the same blue screen issue on a 5s 64GB (bought Oct 3) when using Keynote and Numbers. Complete PITA as I use my iPhone for business presentations (when the iPad isn't available - this issue didn't occur on the iPad 2 running iOS7) and ended up having to use the company supplied Windows laptop and do the presentations on Excel and PowerPoint with the usual associated connection glitches and lack of polish however the laptop didn't blue screen... how ironic.


I haven't seen any published 'work around' issued by Apple.


Reading through the various forums, I tried the following:

I exported all my iCloud Keynote, Numbers and Pages documents to the iMac downloads folder then deleted all the documents on iCloud. I then dragged the documents from the iMac into iCloud.

The 'new' documents then appeared on the iPhone 5s and now appear to work correctly. Each of the iWork apps no longer show the DONE button (top left) and I can switch between the iWork apps and other apps such as the clock/timer without the iPhone crashing.
