iOS 7 Random reboots/respring

No, they are not. They are similar.
The iPhone has a Proximity sensor.
The screens are different sizes and have different ppi.
The CPU and GPU are very similar, but they are slightly different (the iPad is slightly more powerful).
The cameras are different.
The cellular chipsets are slightly different (some iPads don't even have a cellular chipset).
Only one of them can make phone calls.
I could go on. All it takes is for the software to have a slight bug with one of these things and it will only happen on one and not the other.
A few days ago I was using iTunes radio and it simply went to the black screen with the Apple logo and reloaded (iPod touch 5th gen, 16gb). I have not caught it doing it any other time, but it might at random points in the day when I am not using it. Definitely a software issue, as it never happened on iOS 6.
Just happened to me for the first time
black screen
spinning wheel
apple logo
unlock screen
side note, I am still on 7.0 was wondering if 7.0.2 had anything to do with fixing this, but poster above me just proved that wrong

I've started getting this just in the last week. FYI i've had IOS 7 on beta for 3 months and it's literally only just started happening.

yeah I experience that a lot of times in a day till my battery drained. so it is a big problem but then yesterday it went okay after many boots. last night i recharged my battery after it drained then after an hour turned the phone on, almost fully charged, but then it kept on rebooting.
but after ten reboots it became stable so now my phone is not rebooting any more for five hours or more already.
but i do expect to experience this problem every time i just turned on my phone. and sometimes in the middle of normal working of the phone that it would suddenly turned off by itself and so need to turn it on again and experience some rebooting again before it becomes stable once more.
need a jailbreak to OS 6 for my iphone 4

I'm on 7.0.2 and I had my first crash today. I was in the multi-tasking screen closing apps and it just rebooted.
In 3 years my iPhone 4 never crashes. I never expected my iPhone 5s to be that reliable because I know iOS 7 is not complete and was rushed to market.
Only happened once so far so it's not bothering me.

Yep doing it to me on an 8 week old iPhone 5. Seems to happen (occasionally) when texts come in.
I'll have to try this. However, I know that bsod after using pages still happens even after doing this method.
While I haven't used the phone quite as much it hasn't rebooted once since I turned off the background app refresh
Clarify
For those who have fixed it allegedly... Did you turn off background app refresh under general settings or automatic downloads of app updates in the App Store settings panel. Just wanted to make sure.

7.0.3. Same issue here! It is always when multitasking and quickly switching between apps. I get the same quick reboot, where I see the Apple logo and then it's back. I don't think this is a hardware problem.
I should note that this is on a 32 GB 5S, and that its happened on all three versions of iOS 7 so far.

My iPhone 4S has started doing this. It has rebooted twice that I've noticed in the past couple of days.
Considering this is happening with others running different devices, I would almost certainly say this is a software issue which will hopefully get fixed soon.

it is software related. I have the problem on one iphone 4S, 2 ipad 2, one iphone 5 .... until now only my 5S does not reboot randomly. Note that one ipad reboots daily at midnight if used 00:00 .... if this does not sound like a firmware bug how do you call it ?
Mine also respring (not reboot, since the time it took to return to the home screen was very short - 5 to 10 seconds)
