Every time I move an app since updating it is causing my iPhone 4S to reset? Anyone else experienced this? Occurs as I hit the home button to stop the apps from wiggling.
Got a tip for us?

I can confirm that I'm getting this behaviour on an iPhone 4 as well.
After I move an app into a folder, my phone crashes and restarts when I push the home button to stop the icons from jiggling. I can recreate every time.

Yep, me too (iPhone 4)
This is also happening on my iPhone 4. Not on my ipad3 however.
I tried rebooting fully by turning the phone off then on again. I was able to move an app one screen over, but then when I tried to move the same app into a folder, it crashed again!
What a FAIL!
UPDATE -------------
Seems if you only move your app one screen at a time (pressing the home button after each move to stop the shaking), then it works as a workaround. Still a PITA though...

My issue has disappeared now. I can move the apps no problem now. Not sure if it was the fact that I had many hidden apps or if it was specific apps, but I haven't had the problem come back.
I'm pretty sure this would be an app specific incompatibility issue and not iOS 6. There are many apps that haven't been updated yet. Have you tried it with a known iOS 6 app i.e. Find iPhone, iTunes U first?
If this another real iOS 6 bug ouch.
It came back once, but it seems to be a rare mix of factors that does it. Anyway. my iphone 4 sold and I now have an iphone 5 which seems to work perfectly.
Exactly the same here, on an iPhone 4S just upgraded to iOS6. Screen dims to a minimum, crashes, reboots.
The workaround of moving one app at a time didn't work for me; it still crashes when moving just 1 app and pressing HOME. But interestingly, it doesn't crash all the time. I notice that when I drop the app I'm dragging, it goes automatically to the previous screen. Then I press HOME and it crashes. But sometimes I drop the app and it stays in the same screen; then I press HOME and it doesn't crash... Go figure.
Impressive. Did you guy have used Jailbreak at any point? (I did). Maybe it's some conflict with previously installed libraries or something?

Same issue here. I started my own thread but rather than appear like a cry baby I decided to search for another and bump someone else's. I wonder why Apple didn't address this with the update? For the record no issue with my iPad 3 only on my 4S.
No idea if Apple is aware of this issue. It happened in my iPad 3 as well but only once so far. It's happened at least 2 dozen times in the 4S.
