Ok, thanks. I think the thing that concerns me is that it doesn’t seem to be happening to many people in the way that I described. This is not an occasional occurrence. I can get this exact issue to come up every time. I would actually be somewhat relieved if it’s a software issue that can be resolved instead of going and getting a new phone. I will probably head over to the apple store to make sure. I think I only have 2 or 3 weeks left on my warranty.
