You'd be surprised. What sounds like "logical" or "common sense" isn't really that for a lot of people, especially when things are now thinner, lighter, and on a bright white background. There's definitely a difference, even if a lot of people "can't imagine it" or "can't quite figure it out". In any case though, it's not really what this particular thread is about.

Apple Seeds iOS 7.1 Beta 2 to Developers [Updated]

Actually it's a bit more than 6, but we are not getting a final version before September. That means 9,5 months for now.
Today, I've made some serious comparative tests to find out whether the claim of several MR forum members true. Many have stated the latest beta, beta 2 of iOS 7.1 have fixed the memory / Safari crashing problems. An example of these claims is at https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/18510004/ : there, forum member MikhailT stated "There are still some sites that crashes Safari but the good news is that the apps using WebView are no longer randomly crashing as they were before in iOS 7.0.x." Exactly this is what I'm going to scrutinize here (after all, my tester app does use UIWebView) - and prove it's, unfortunately, not exactly right.

Your test proved that Apple didn't resolve the crashing on Nin.com site. It does not compare the actual typical experience in Safari and other apps with UIWebView. Other folks have verified the same claims that I made, it stopped crashing daily as it did in 7.0.x series.
Yep, you are right. Safari is much more stable now. Yes, it can crash, but that happens rarely now..
No, I was talking about iOS updates. And I think you knew that.
For iOS 0.0.1 updates are for bug fixes and 0.1 updates usually carry major new features or functionality.

Can anyone confirm this on their 5S running 7.1b2 if this was fixed: bringing up multitasking menu and/or flicking through it briskly causes a respring, should note, it's quite random and very annoying.
Apple should have never allowed this to slip through the cracks. This is possibly due to low memory everyone is on about....
iPhone 5S on 7.0.4

I've yet to see a crash on my iPhone 5S running beta 2 since the day it came out.
I've had very good luck with this on my ipad and iPhone. Safari is better, no crashes and the refresh rate is ALOT better. My only problems are 1. I can't turn iMessage back on no matter what I do. 2. My emails are very slow to come through compared to my ipad. iPad is a retina mini and iPhone is a 5s. I completely wiped the phone and did a clean install and still no luck. Anyone have a clue how to fix this besides going back to 7.0.4? I am a developer and I can't find what's causing these issues especially since my ipad is working so well.
