Anyone experience crashing/freezing and restarting with iOS 7.0.6 on iPhone 5s

I just updated my iphone 5s to ios 7.0.6 and my phone has crashed or frozen with a blue screen that fades to black a handful of times in diffrent situations. my phone has also restarted by itself a few time. It hasn't been happening excessively but since i have only had my phone for about a month, Im wondering if there are any known problems with the ios update and these issues are due to a systemic issue that others are experiencing or if the crashses are due to something else.

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.6

Since I've been on here today, I have seen a couple of other posts like this. Seems to be a problem with iPhone 5S and iOS 7.0.6., as I no longer experience this with my iPod touch 5G on iOS 7.0.6.

Do you update OTA or through iTunes?

I'm not getting freezing or crashing. But I can't log into any "secured" app or websites. Even Apple.com/support on my 5S running 7.0.6... Right now I'm typing on my wife's 5 on 7.0.6. ***?!?! I can't get onto Facebook, mint, etc. any help would be great.

OTA means Over the Air (using wifi), which is what you did.

Sorry I can't help further with this.

Over the air as Finest explained.

Now make a backup on iTunes.

Connect iPhone to iTunes, do a restore as new and at the end of procedure choose restore from backup.

Thanks for the help however i i tried to connect my phone to itunes via my mac. It automatically backed up my iphone aftere wich i restored it, it restored it with the same ios. Perhaps i did not follow your recommendations correctly.

currently my phone is frozen again and not resetting. When i plugged it in to my laptop it says my phone is currently in recovery mode the option provided is to restore it to factory settings with the latest apple software, which i assume include ios 7.0.6.

please help i dont know if that will make things better. Can i fix this myself or should i return to where i got the phone for a fix or exchange

Maybe your backup is corrupted, so restoring from that will not fix anything.

Try restore as new and sync your content back manually.
