iPad Pro iPad Pro 9.7 multitasking/springboad crash

Mine crashed once yesterday and once today. Both bug type 298. Before that it only crashed once a week. We are in the same boat here folks. Like the good old days os iOS 7 springboard crashes daily.
Really hope this gets fixed in the next update.

128GB wifi here as well if that means anything. Are people with 32GB models not getting the crashes??
Also would be nice if Macrumors picked this up to get some traction as a story. Its not a coincidence we are all getting the same 298 crash bug.

Mine seems to happen as well when exiting safari or entering multitasking from safari. But its very random.

Sure we can all report it. The unfortunate problem is that its not easily reproducible since its a memory leak. So theres that obstacle.
Now you know why Apples stocks are down. as long as customers are unhappy they are buying habits are drop.
new top of the line product are built with old or under power components , shame on you Apple
This isnt a RAM hardware issue. 2GB is plenty for iOS. The problem is whats called a memory leak. RAM is getting eaten up and not flushed out properly causing the system to crash. More RAM would only delay the crash. Not prevent it.
Lets not confuse the issue.

Agreed. People are assuming it's a hardware issue and running off to replace their iPad. It will eventually be fixed in a software patch.
Your incorrect. The 128 is the most common from what I've seen. I haven't had a single crash since I put 9.3.2 on mine a couple of weeks ago but that doesn't mean it's fixed. Springboard crashes are usually software. Complete shutdowns or reboots could be either.
Yeah it's definitely not a hardware issue. Theres a memory leak issue with safari or springboard it seems.
Code is written for specific devices. It's likely there was an error in the code for the iPP 9.7.
Open safari and change to another app without using the home button. The crash happens once a day, if you are a lucky one 
The issue is hard to always reproduce......yes it usually happens when using the gestures.
I have a bug report into Apple and they asked for my crash logs. It's definitely a safari issue /multitasking issue. Almost everyone here is having the problem when exiting safari or going into multitasking from safari. There's most likely a memory leak with safari or the springboard (multitasking, home screen, app switcher) that is causing the crash. This hopefully gets fixed ASAP as its a hindering experience.
Can anyone with the 9.3.2 beta check to see if it's fixed at all??
Also there's a lengthy discussion thread ongoing on apples discussion forums as well. So we are not alone here. Hoping for a speedy fix. For now if it's a major issue for anyone I would suggest switching to chrome or another browser and seeing if that helps. Other are reporting that it's not happening with other browsers if you try to cut out safari altogether. ANOTHER reason for Apple to let us use our own default apps.
I'll digress a bit here but these are the kinds of problems we hope to avoid by using Apple products. If they're going to " add features" and complicate iOS more then we should have a bit more control over things so we don't have to wait weeks or months for Apple to issue an iOS update.

Well that sucks. I guess we will have to wait for hopefully a 9.3.3 release. I highly doubt they will add this into another beta before release and fix this issue. I hope I'm wrong though.
Have you tried beta 3 I am on my second day without a crash on it. I was hoping it was going to fix it.
