Dear all,
Just bought an iPad air 128. After a couple days suddenly appears a black screen with the Apple Logo. Yes, The same that appears when the ipad restart.
To' keep working I have to press the home button.

Open a discussion with tech people at Apple and, after few days, they decided to change my iPad with a brand new.

Now this happen again with my new iPad.

Did anyone know this issue?
Should I be worried about it?

Thanks
Marco

iOS 7 on the A7 chip is a bit buggy. I wouldn't worry about it unless it happens frequently enough that it interferes with you using your iPad.

In all apps, or in just some apps?

Typically, the apple logo appears when the core OS process crashes and restarts.

OS process crashes

In all apps, or in just some apps?

Typically, the apple logo appears when the core OS process crashes and restarts.

Not yet able to identify with which app/s happen. I only remember that there were 5 or 6 apps open. I'll monitor which and how many apps are open.

But is not nice that a brand new system crashes. The previous iPad Air was 10 days old and tech people at the genius bar ( and aso Apple Support Center by phone ) suggest me to return it - I'm within the 15 days policy - and get a new one.

I did it and have the same problem.

UPDATE - I found another person, here in Milano, that has the same problem.

Wait and see or return it again?

Thanks
Marco

You should contact Apple for that problem. This seems beyond the spectrum of normal issues.

I had the same problem. After lots of grief with Apple I got a new one. Since Monday I have not have the problem happen again. The new one still quits applications, but not a frequent as the new replacement.
