iPad Pro 9.7 Random Restart

Normally wouldn't think much of this but, I have a 2 day old iPad Pro 9.7 128GB that has restart on me twice so far. In the middle of using it, it will cut to the Apple logo on the black background for a minute before returning to the passcode screen. Oddly enough, it will accept Touch ID in place of a passcode, something it doesn't usually do when it loses power. Any idea on the cause or how to figure it out? I chatted with the tech support but they only help they could provide was to do a restore. I just performed it, but my concern is that I installed an app or enabled something causing the iPad to crash and it'll simply continue to do that due to the bad app.

iOS 10 is going to be an independent branch that has been worked on for quite some time already, and since the WebKit is integral to the OS, they aren't simply going to drop it in from its current state in 9.3.2. If you remember, they completely redid the iOS system when they came out with iOS 8, iOS 9 improved upon iOS 8. It could be that iOS 10 is going to be another overhaul to emphasize security from hackers throughout the OS. If this is the case it is all hands on deck right now to work on iOS 10 to get it out on time, for those who would want/need to keep iOS 9, they will release a patch after the Keynote next week when they have some time to figure out the issue.


The iOS team has had quite the load thrown at it with the unintentional bricking that had to be fixed urgently, I am sure they have been doing serious overtime for the launch next week. The unflattering PR about Apple has not helped either, just causing more stress on the already stressed out programmers. You can only code so many lines per day, and I feel for them.
