Iphone 5s went dead - What happened?

Alundra said:

My iphone 5s went dead some minutes ago with about 60% battery, it wouldn't turn on by simply holding down the power button, so I searched online and found out about trying to turn it on by holding both power and home buttons.

It finally turned on but now it was asking me to connect it to Itunes, which I did and now it tells me it has to restore the iphone which is what iam doing right now.

Question is, why did this happen? Even if it works fine after the restoration should I be alarmed and send it to apple?

Nothing like this ever happened to the iphone or to my ipad.

Thanks!

Update:

It seems the itunes did not do the usual restoration but just reinstalled the firmware and now my iphone is exactly like it was just before it went dead. I can even see the recently opened apps that I went to just before it went dead, so it did not format the whole iphone.

Weird huh?

I did not have my apps backed up on the PC or any backup whatsoever

Keep making those backups often, the 6 is just around the corner.

What do you mean by that? Sounds sinister. Or at least cynical?

I'm sure they're secretly out to get you, rather than just giving helpful advice by suggesting that you back up your data often.

I'm just asking how the new iPhone coming out should have a relationship with how often I back up? I don't see the relationship.

Try to cope with it!

It has no relationship whatsoever.

I think you're missing my point completely.
