Since getting my iPhone 5S in mid-October, I've had a total of three random reboots on my iPhone 5S. The first time was when I was listening to an audiobook and the screen was locked. The audiobook abruptly stopped out of the blue, and after 30 seconds I heard "VoiceOver on, screen curtain on" and was back at the lock screen. Touch ID was disabled, as it normally is whenever the phone is restarted. I went into settings, general, about, diagnostics and usage and took a look at the diagnostic logs. I'm not privy to the exact meaning of the logs, but it appears that I had a full kernel panic which seems to be a term that operating systems use to indicate that an error or problem took place, which cannot, or should not, be recovered from without a reboot.
Since then, I've had two more kernel panics (which I've verified by reading the diagnostic logs). Both times, I've simply been lying in bed with the phone charging and have been awoken to VoiceOver saying (VoiceOver on, screen curtain on). The first time this happened I actually was within my 30 day return window, but I called Apple and they ran remote diagnostics and said that my phone was fine and that it had been a hardware issue. However, as I say the problem has happened a couple of times since then. I suppose the reason for this message is to firstly ask whether others have experienced the same issue on their iPhone 5S, and also whether there's a way to tell whether this is a software or a hardware issue. I've discussed this issue with a few people who suggest that maybe this is simply a software issue caused by drivers or bugs owing to the switch to 64-BIT code. What do you guys think?
