iPhone 5S restarting itself

Anyone else having their 5S sporatically restarting itself? So far, there seems to be no pattern, other that I'm usually playing a word game on it when it happens.

I am having the same problem as well... My iphone 5s has the same issue, it reboots itself, showing the white screen with the apple logo. This tends to happen ironically when I most need it. for example I am using notes to write something down quickly and suddenly it reboots. Quite honestly, I am getting sick and tired of the iOS7 issues. My previous iphone 4 did not give me issues until the 3rd year of usage, actually, when I updated it to iOS7. Thinking the phone was old I "upgraded" to this iphone 5s. And this software iOS 7.0.6 did not fix anything at all... neither the battery issue.

Hi Simon.

I switched on the reduce motion but keep touch ID on. The situation became much more better. It happen only once yesterday (during the last 7 days). Maybe I spent too much time on dealing with the reboot issue. (I made tons of call to apple. And I had my phone replaced. Even the replacement phone is a brand new one, the issue still happen.) I may overreact about that. But I will keep an eye on it. See what will go next. Hopefully, apple can fix it asap.


PS. The reboot happens when I was trying to do switching between apps.


Anyway, I appreciate your information!

I have updated to OS 7.1.1 but it still happen again. I know my iPhone 5s always restart when i wake up in the morning. When i put my finger on the reader, my phone ask a password because of the phone had been restart. It also restart suddenly when i use the latest updated Facebook in around 10 minutes. My screen suddenly turn blank in blue color and the phone start to restart. After the Apple logo appears, the blank blue screen appear again and it restart again. After a few times of restarting then my phone back to normal. It never happen before this. After i update to OS 7.1.1 and also the Facebook apps, this problem come to me. How to overcome this?i have restore the OS, turn off reduce motion but it still happen again.
