Hopeful for sooner than later fix re iPad Air crashing
I've been lurking around these forums since I first started experiencing crashes back in September after downloading iOS 7 on my iPad 2 . Thinking it was just too much for my wimpy older iPad, I splurged on the new iPad Air the first day it came out. It crashed twice the first day in the same manner as the old one did and well, since then at least 3-4 times a day whether I'm in apps, Safari, Chrome (or just when I breathe on it wrong). Sometimes I get the big crash where it goes to white screen and restarts but mostly just closes what I'm in and reverts to Home screen. Frustrating to say the least when it doesn't save what I'm doing. I almost feel bad for all of the app developers; there are so many recent reviews for various apps where people are complaining and blaming the developers for frequent crashing, but with the system itself being ridiculously unstable, who could know (except Apple or IT geniuses) for sure if it is the app causing the crashes? Anyway, hoping for a fix sooner than later...I mean, there must be a bajillion MORE unhappy post-Christmas recipients of these crashing devices who are lurking on these forums like me, looking for a fix, (reading that a clean install probably isn't it), calling Apple support for a replacement (only to get a new one that crashes too), or worse, returning for a refund to buy an Android tablet.. C'mon Apple, you have to do better - Steve would not have ignored this problem for this long. Don't let the people who bought these for gifts regret their purchases or continue to let the app developers take the blame for your mistake. Being in the dark about your new products is an acceptable Apple culture because those who know and use Apple devices can at least depend on the stability and support of their products; waiting 6+ months in the dark for a "possible" fix to make our devices as functional as they were a year ago --- unacceptable, defies progress and cheapens the quality the Apple is known for. If you want a faster fix folks, best advice you'll probably find is to get on the forum's bandwagon and complain. 😡
