Several
users of Apple's latest iPhone, iPhone 5S, are complaining that their
phone's screen keeps turning solid blue and then restarts. The glitch,
populary called Blue Screen of Death ( BSOD), where a computer or phone
freezes and displays a blue screen, plagued some old Windows PCs.
Apple
Support communities and MacRumors forums are flooded with users
reporting this 'BSOD' issue that reboots their devices. The 'BSOD'
reportedly lasts only few seconds before the screen goes black, and the
Apple logo appears, signalling a reboot.
Posts
regarding this glitch have been crowding Apple's support forums since
September. Says one user on Apple support forum "When using my phone
going in and out of apps, my phones screen will suddenly turn solid blue
for about 2 seconds then the apple logo will appear and it restarts my
phone. anyone else having this issue? it seems to happen more when i am
exiting apps back to the home screen."
"I had
the same thing just now after installing a new app fromt the app store.
After I pushed the home button it went to the home screen, followed by
blue screen, followed by reboot." writes another user on the forum.
According
to videos detailing the problem, Apple users are reporting 'BSOD' while
using or performing functions like multi-tasking between apps,
FaceTime, Safari, camera etc.
A suggested a fix
to the issue as per The Verge is to "alleviate the iWork-related
reboots is to disable iCloud syncing for Apple's Pages, Keynote, and
Numbers apps."
For this, users can find the iCloud tab in 'Settings' app and then set those particular apps to 'off'.
So far Apple has not commented on the issue.
