i dont see any icons in that screenshot of an ad whose primary message was that Apple's iOS products as a whole fit greatly to people's lifestyle
I know some groaning will be heard when I say this, but I'm iPhone user since 2007 back In the day. iOS used to be the thing that sold iPhone. It was quick, intuitive and by the time iOS 6.0 came about it was rock solid, feature rich and lightning fast. iOS was the thing that sold iPhones over superior spec Android handsets.
Now? Apple have some of the best crafted and powerful hardware out there in the smartphone and tablet space - but the software has done such a 180 it is now dragging it down.
iOS7 is all over the place. Crashes and bugs aren't being squashed as quick as they need to be. It feels rushed and it's insane that as 100m+ iOS devices are out in the wild we're the unpaid beta testers / Guinea pigs for Johnny Ives foray into UX design.
The proof of how lost they are with iOS7 is the back-pedalling we're seeing in the iterations of the 7.1 betas:
- buttons are dead! (Now bringing back shaders to hint arrows and I/O on toggle switches)
- slide to unlock looks dated! (Make it bigger / bolder they can't read it! and re-introduce and uglier variant now of the original in the "slide to power down")
Then there's all that white... The neon ... The icons.. The inconsistent nature of it all ... The "is this a button or text?" question you find you're always asking yourself....
This and stuff like mavericks still not working with Gmail after all this time makes me wonder what the hell is going on at Cupertino.
Sorry people - rant over!

7.1 beta 4 is incredibly stable on my 5s and rMini. Not a single respring (I had been getting them daily on 7.0.4) and Safari can keep multiple tabs open now, even after a brief period of backgrounding. I think this update will appease almost everyone. If you hate ios 7, not going to do much for you. But for everyone else, it's wonderful and speedy.
Thanks for posting this story. I can finally fire back against my overlords that insisted my app was buggy.
I'm looking forward to getting 7.1. Up until now, iOS 7 has been a mixed bag for me with all of the issues I'm encountering.
I hope they're prioritizing this!
My iPhone 5s has made more random restarts than my iPad Mini and iPhone 3GS(!!) on iOS 6 ever did. App crashes have been a whole lot more frequent too. I'm not sure if this is because of bad app coding, memory leaks or iOS 7 itself, but fixing the operating system first is always a good thing. It could be the root of the problem.
They could at least push this stability update out first. I feel like the speed benefits of the 5s are almost negated by the lack of stability.

So this happened to me once or twice with my old 4S. It's not a showstopper.
It happens on my AppleTV constantly and nobody bats an eye.
If you could fix the ATV crashes, I might applaud this, but since you focus almost entirely on mobile, I instead issue you the middle finger.

Safari is snappier!
Powerbook G5 next Tuesday!
When with 7.1 Beta 5 get out?
Haters gonna hate!
Did I miss any? :-D

No crashes on iPhone 5S, just on iPad Air
I only experience app crashes on my iPhone 5S. My iPad Air crashes and reboots most of the times. Very annoying.

Why?
Why, why, why do they keep quoting BGR? I mean, come on! Just this week he laid a big egg! Enough already!
That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

First black screen crash
Just saw my first black screen crash on iOS 7.1 beta 3 on an iPhone 5 today.
So, it seems unlikely they've eliminated it in Beta 3. Perhaps Beta 4 will be the answer (except for the increasingly ugly and glaring slide to unlock animation.)

Thank goodness.
It's really said. In all the years I've used iOS I've only had one crash. But now I have crashes a lot and tremendous lag. The other day, I tapped a contact to call them and it took about 20 seconds for the call to start. That is unacceptable given that this is an iPHONE!!!

This must be a 64 bit processor issue.
No problems at all, on 6x 32 bit processor iOS 7 devices I look after.
Despite all the demeaning remarks from "the experts", you should really be practising some kind of memory management - quitting apps. Especially the 64 bit processors, don't seem so happy with last year's amount of RAM. Cheap Apple, cheap.

The crash happens to me at least once a day on both my ipad Air and iphone 5S. I wonder if it's more frequent on the A7 chips.
I've had that problem some, but much worse is another problem that didn't crop up until iOS 7: every once in awhile (maybe every two weeks or so), my phone's contacts disappear and then I'm asked to sign into iCloud, after which they all re-appear. Of course, this resets all ringtones.
It's been a constant issue on my 4S - which prior to iOS7, never once resprung, crashed, locked up, froze, etc. Never has my 4S behaved so erratically than it has since upgrading to iOS7 - all that said, as frustrating as the experience been so far, Control Center on its own makes it all up.
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?
I know this is getting old folks, but come on, you can't deny that Steve wouldn't have let this problem persist for that long.
@topic:
Wow, good to hear! How about the other problems that are not bugs, but idiotic by design? Stuff like that would need confirmation of being worked on.
This, well, I sure expected this bug to go the way of the dodo sometime.

What surprises me more is how long it's taking them to get "this fix" out to the public. I remember going into the Apple store to look at the new iPad Air and Mini w/ Retina and I was there for about 30 mins just trying them out. iOS7 literally crashed on me twice while using it, I didn't say anything to the reps because I thought it was a fluke then later when I came to the forums I began to see people post about it. Now Apple is admitting the problem. This is good news that they are getting the fix out soon but bad news it took this long and to think it's still coming and not yet out to the public. That just shocks me that should have been priority #1.
