Apple's latest iPhone 5S has an unexpected feature: the
Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD). While it's typically an error found on
older Windows PCs, a number of iPhone 5S users are reporting random
reboots on their handsets following a BSOD. The blue screen reboots
appear to be iPhone 5S specific and are largely occurring with Apple's
own iWork apps that come free with all new iOS devices.
Videos detailing the issue show that multitasking between apps seems to
trigger the BSOD. iPhone 5S users are also reporting random reboots
during device use.
Apple has released iOS 7.0.2 to primarily fix lock-screen
security bugs, but the latest version does not address the reboot
issues. Several threads on Apple's support forums
highlight the problem, and a number of Twitter users have also
expressed their frustration. One workaround to alleviate the
iWork-related reboots is to disable iCloud syncing for Apple's Pages,
Keynote, and Numbers apps. We've reached out to Apple to comment on the
blue screen reboots, and we'll update you accordingly. Credit By Tom Warren
