Once a new OS is out, it is to be expected to experience a few crashes here and there. This is due to the fact that there are few bugs that need to be ironed out. However, in the case of iOS 7 and the Apple iPhone 5S, apps crash twice as much compared to the Apple iPhone 5C and the Apple iPhone 5.
AllThingD reports, “Apps appear to be crashing at a much higher rate on the new iPhone 5s as on either the iPhone 5c or the iPhone 5. In its look at hundreds of millions of app launches since the debut of the latest iPhones, Crittercism says that programs crash about two percent on the iPhone 5s, as compared to just under one percent on both the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5.”
Crittercism CEO Andrew Levy said, “Anytime there is new hardware or software release, we see issues. Inevitably, over time, those issues get resolved.”
AllThingsD adds, “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.”
Levy said, “The good news is that Apple is certainly aware of issues. They’ve pushed out two iOS updates for iOS 7 … Apple is doing a really good job of addressing these issues as they come up.”
