Apple Planning Fix for iOS 7 Home Screen Crashes

yup lol. in the grand scheme of things, the design choice/direction of the icons is not that important.
While I've run into this crash a couple of times, the one that annoys me more is that waking a Bluetooth keyboard will intermittently hard-freeze the entire phone, requiring me to hold Power and Home until it reboots.
Fix please, Apple!

Yeah super annoying my 5S does it a lot - my 5 barely ever did it.
When does it happen for you, mine mainly happens when I go into multi-tasking menu or come out of it - it also seems to happen a fair amount when I open snapchat for some weird reason
iOS7 is Apple's Vista
what a buggy piece of crap it is. Apps crash ALL the time now and the UI is awful. Why is it I deactivate notifications, they automatically get turned back on when an app updates itself? Why can't I go directly to the related notification/message from the lock screen? Don't even get me started on how annoyingly "broken" iTunes is now (Song information/screenshot is always 2 songs behind when it wakes from sleep, sometimes skips tracks even though the lock screen is on, etc.)....

I'm not sure if this is an iOS or an iTunes issue but I wish they would fix the syncing issues with ios devices and itunes! My phone's music library has been wiped clean and my ipad has gaping issues where I have ghost songs. It's such a pain in the ass to deal with and I've looked all over for a solution and nothing has worked. I'm pissed because I have no portable music. ahhh!
This will be a nice update for those with the restart issue.

Really. How many people are have these same issues with iTunes?
Curious to know what iPhone version you have.

In my experience (I have an iPad Air and iPhone 4s) the soft reboot happens only to my iPad. Usually when it seems to stutter a bit or run low on memory.
My old trusty iPhone 4s may be slower at times, but has never done this. It's even hardly crash on Safari.
I guess it's the 64bit part? More bit = more problem, i guess?
Good question, Ive wondered if it might have something to do with that architecture change.
For a company that prides themselves on stability, this seems like a pretty major issue. I am surprised that it has taken so long to address it.
Right. Fortunately, it's still some kinda certainty that problems like that are naturally being adressed by Apple.
I haven't had any home screen crashes with iOS 7 on my 5 and none on the 5S I just switched to. Safari has crashed once or twice though. I welcome all fixes.
They're planning a fix for a problem‽ Wow! I really, that is just...I mean talk about commitment to customer satisfaction! I did not see that coming, that is absolutely incredible...
It's been nice having you on our forums but you will not have to leave.
This is entire site is a 'first world problem'.
What's your point?
And what did Tim Cook say -
Theres always a large junk part of the market, he says. Were not in the junk business. The upper end of the industry justifies its higher prices with greater value. Theres a segment of the market that really wants a product that does a lot for them, and I want to compete like crazy for those customers, he says."
iOS 7 IS part of that junk market.

Way to take something way out of context to make a post with no value.
Anyway, back on topic, I have only had one crash so far on the home screen. No idea what caused it because I was back up and problem free in 30 seconds.
Why does it take Apple so long to respond to issues they were fully aware of
This has been going on for around 5 months now sop why not put out a statement earlier
Apple are so god dam slow at actually admitting they know there's a problem!!

Seems like that might be exactly what all of this might be in reference to.

How would a statement really help except perhaps expose the issue to even more people (given that the majority of iOS users don't even really pay attention to things of this nature)?
For a company like Apple, a statement of this nature, if one is made at all, is often made when they actually know they have a fix and will be releasing it soon.

It happens on my iPad mini with retina display. Very very annoying. Only a minor bug, but it really shouldn't be happening. I'm just pleased to know its not a hardware issue.

Or perhaps more that not all of the issues causing a crash like this have been addressed (yet).
