iPhone 5S Crashes And Suffers From The Blue Screen Of Death
The teething pains for the iPhone 5S continues.
All Things Digital is reporting that Crittercism has found that iOS apps are twice as likely to crash on the new iPhone 5s as they are when running on the iPhone 5 and 5c. The cause? The A7 64 bit processor:
Anytime there is new hardware or software release, we see issues,” Crittercism CEO Andrew Levy said in an interview. “Inevitably, over time, those issues get resolved.”
Levy said that perhaps the reason the iPhone 5s is seeing more crashes than the equally new iPhone 5c is that, while developers were able to check their apps for compatibility with iOS 7 during several months of beta testing, the new hardware wasn’t available ahead of time. The iPhone 5s packs a new 64-bit A7 chip and an M7 coprocessor, while the 5c is nearly identical, internally, to the iPhone 5.
So if you have an iPhone 5S, you can expect these problems to go away eventually if you have them.
Now from the irony department, Severalthreads on the Apple Support Communities forum have details of random reboots on the iPhone 5S while using Apple’s iWork apps, with the issue being signaled by the brief appearance of an all-blue screen which iPhone users are referring to as the “Blue Screen of Death” which is more commonly found on Windows PCs. Here’s a YouTube video of the issue:
The error can be temporarily fixed by turning off iCloud syncing for Apple’s Pages, Keynote and Numbers apps. But we’ll have to wait and see if there is a more suitable fix in any updates that come from Apple.
