Why does iOS 7 crash so much?

[atlatnesiti]

And on what planet is it seen as normal to have the whole OS crash and restart when an app crashes?

----------

Because the 5S isn't?

Well, Windows OS does it a lot, Vista, 7 and 8...
Blame Devs of crappy apps not Apple.
PS; As I have stated before, my iPhone 5s and iPad Air doesn't crash under iOS 7.1

No, sorry, Windows doesn't do this for a LONG time (and I write this as a full-time OSX user). I bought a $150 Asus tablet with 4.2 for my GF and it has yet to crash, unlike my $500 iPad Air. That's sad no matter how you slice it (and yes, I have tried a clean restore and whatnot - I write books about iOS devices FFS

Plenty of people have posted about crashes with iPhone 5S and iPad Air--your experience and that of some others doesn't imply that there isn't an issue there somewhere given that plenty of others have experienced issues.

As for the OS not handling application crashes gracefully, that is at the very core of either a design flaw in the OS or some bug/issue in the OS level that exists (even if not everyone gets affected by it). These are actually rather basic software design and OS principles.

Can't wait for that to come out to the public then because there have been multiple instances that my phone just randomly restarts itself.

Stick to Asus then, obviously it offers much better experience than Apple

And I can state that there are crashes under iOS 7.1 beta 1 that I have experienced (but if we are talking about 7.1 and it's currently in beta, it's somewhat early to make a call about it one way or another). As for 7.0, certainly plenty of people have experienced crashes.

iOS 7 is the worst experience for me till now, since iOS 3. Crashes, Low memory, slower response, slower PFS, and the UI...

I really hope I can get back to iOS 6 on my 4S(and iPad 4), maybe new bugs found, then after jail, it is come true.
I also have iPad air, back to iOS 6 may never be possible...

My Nexus 4 is on 4.3 and I have this annoying problem where the phone would drain down to 50-60% in just 20 minutes after unplugging. It happened three different times last week and I have no idea how many times it's happened in the last year.

It's made me buy a 5S two weeks ago because honestly, since the original iPhone, I've never had the problems that I have had on my Nexus 4 and 7.

You're claim is odd, that you would live with any problem for an entire year without resolving it is rather questionable. To blame an issue with any platform as the reason you had to buy a different device is interesting.

Your wife is probably (like all women) using Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and others, all of these apps have issues with iOS 7 and are known to crash the entire operating system.

If 3rd party apps are somehow crashing the OS (or other apps), then the problem is with the OS.

Further more, all these apps run perfectly on iOS 7 on non-64bit devices. It's only on the A7 devices (iPhone 5s, iPad Air, rMini) that these issues occur.

Why is it odd? I got the Nexus 4 for free through T-Mobile. The battery problem wasn't that bad back then but it happened occasionally. When it did happen more and more, I quit using it and went back to using my 4S. Sometimes I would try and use the Nexus 4 again and then it would start up with a new problem where it would start doing things in my pocket such as setting alarms and calling people, even getting past the pattern unlock that I would set for it. I would know that it was on because it would start getting hot in my pocket.

I waited so long to see what the Nexus 5 would be like, I really wanted to buy it. I decided not to buy it when the reviews mentioned all the bugs it had out of the box such as uneven sound volume depending on what you were doing and the battery life was shorter than the Nexus 4. No other phones interested me EXCEPT for the 5S. Why? The TouchID sensor interested me the most because well, I knew from past experience that all the previous iPhones never turned on in my pocket and started doing things and the TouchID thing would make that even easier to use and it is. It's perfect for my use at my job.

I'll see what the next Nexus is like next year.

Realiastically speaking people with non-64-bit devices have seen an increase in crashes as well. Not everyone and perhaps to a lesser degree, but they are there with iOS 7 too.
