'Blue screen of death' attacks some iPhone 5S owners
Users on Apple's support forums say their iPhone 5S units are turning a mean shade of blue and then rebooting.
The infamous "blue screen of death" seems to have expanded from Windows PCs to iPhones.
Several iPhone 5S owners report that their phones are turning a mean shade of blue and then restarting. Users chiming in on the Apple Support Communities and MacRumors forums said the problem occurs when they use the Numbers app in Apple's iWork suite, which comes free with the new iPhones. But a couple of people report that it also happens when using the ESPN ScoreCenter app.
The bug apparently has been present since the phone launched. One of the forum messages is dated September 21, the day after the 5S went on sale. One possible remedy, at least for users running into BSODs with iWork, is to disable iCloud syncing for the iWork suite, according to The Verge.

From here starts my collaboration: Manuel A Escotet
Now my
in personal experience I can tell you that it wasn't pretty. My phone will
reboot as many as 5 times a day. Making the cellphone basically useless. It
happened in multiple scenarios, using different functionalities. Not a specific
one. I ended up trying two things:
A.
The
first solution I found on the Internet was to do a fresh install. Restore the
phone as a new device and then get all your backed up files though Icloud or Itunes.
After doing that the phone worked for a few
days without any inconveniences but suddenly the problem reappear.
B.
I went
to Apple and they check the diagnostic available on the phone and spotted the
problem. There is as report informing that the cellphone has to be replaced. After
seen the report they immediately gave me a new phone.
You can check if you have the same report here:
Settings>General>About>Diagnostics>Again
to Diagnostics. If you see a report like the one attached go to Apple and you
will get a new phone if you are still under warranty. The report basically
means that your motherboard is fried. I hope this helps guys!
Thanks!
