Anyone experiencing random reboots on iOS 8.3? Had one yesterday and just one now. On iPad Air 16GB. Did not experience in earlier versions.

iOS 8.3 Random Reboots

Did you do a wipe then restore from backup (iCloud or iTunes)? As that is what I did due to the update not showing up.
No. I did an OTA update. I've had many issues documented in the performance/stability thread.
I had 3. Two were within a few minutes of updating by simply double-tapping the home button to get to the app switcher, one was yesterday.
I had one not very long after updating also. It wasn't really a reboot I think (just the same logo / screen), because I did not have to unlock the phone when it went away again. I closed all open applications and rebooted manually and it's been fine since (best practice with big iOS updates).
I have 6 Plus and I had random reboots since day 1. On some versions there were less (nearly any), however, on 8.3 they happen again. They happen only when double-clicking the home button to bring up multitasking.
I definitely would if there would be any in my country... I went to one Premium Reseller which we have here to a customer service and they said that I could leave it there and they would check it but it will take several weeks (up to a month) and most probably they wouldn't be able to anything...
And I also checked their demo units and they did lag too (rotation lag when changing screen orientation in Messages.app with onscreen keyboard), so I thought it's general problem with RAM on iPhones 6 Plus.
I just had one as well also by using the home button.
After investigating a bit, it's not really a real reboot so there won't be much on the diagnostic logs.
The SpringBoard process just leaks more than it usually does and iOS kills it because it's using too much memory.
You should see a whole bunch of JetsamEvent logs around that time and if you open them, SpringBoard should be the largest process.

I've never had a full reboot but I have experienced two or three springboard crashes where the Apple logo comes up briefly and I'm back to the home screen. This was whilst running 8.1.2
8.3 has been ok for me so far. No app crashes, no springboard crashes and only some minimal screen freezing. It still isn't perfect by any means but it's the most solid build yet.

Every other day on 8.2 versions
How disappointing, thought 8.3 had fixed the random resets I was having with 8.2 version. On 8.3 I have had No random resets. Did do an iTunes update, however. As others have suggested you might want to try an iTunes restore.

got the same issue with 5s
i realize that mostly happen when or after i update my apps on the app store that has got bigger sizes (80-100 mb) too weird..
hope it'll be fixed asap

Same issue. Not a proper reboot but a Springboard crash. Happens when updating apps, swiping between home screens, bringing up multitasking pane, etc. I believe it's a memory issue and there's nothing much you can do except hope Apple fixes it.
iPhone 5S 64gb - same issue. Springboard crash/reset. About 10 so far (I installed 8.3 the day it came out). Appears to be totally random, but updating apps does seem to be a trigger.
the isssue is not occuring about 5 days both on my 5s and mini 2 retina..
there may be some incompatible apps causing that. i made my updates on App store and looks like it's fixed now.
Apply the updates one by one. don't hit the ''update all''
