We have two iPad Airs in our house and they both suffer from random reboots every so often. It could be in Safari, a game or otherwise and it randomly shows the black screen with white Apple logo. It is, frankly, weird. Almost annoying. Having spoken with other Air owners I am almost convinced it's iOS. Can anybody shed some light on this?
Got a tip for us?

iPad Random reboots - iOS issue?

It is iOS.
Some have had improved their iPads by doing a restore from physically plugging into iTunes. I think it might be placebo effect, but there could be some merit.
Apple has acknowledged the frequent 'crashing' and announced that a fix is coming out "soon" in an update.
Chalk it up to ios. My friend and I both got Airs around the same time this month. They both restart almost daily. Annoying but I'm 99% sure it's not hardware. I had a 5s replaced because of this issue and the current one does the exact same thing.
I think it's a combination of both iOS 7 and the A7. I recently bought a rMini and it's doing the same thing. My iPad 2 has been rock solid running iOS 7 apart from performance issues. Hopefully iOS 7.1 takes care of these problems.
It's iOS. When I first updated my 5 to iOS 7, it was rebooting once ever couple of days. It got better with each iOS update. Now I have moved to a 5S and a retina iPad Mini both on 7.0.4, and the phone reboots once in a blue moon. The Mini I just got a couple days ago, so it's too early to tell.
