Apps on iPhone 5s crash twice as much as other iPhone 5 devices
According to a study, apps on Apple's new iPhone 5s crash twice as much as other Apple iPhone 5 devices
The study, carried out by mobile app management platform Crittercism, looked at hundreds of millions of app launches and says that programs crash around 2% on the iPhone 5s in comparison to less than 1% on the iPhone 5 and 5c.
Reported up by AllThingsD, an inteview with Crittercism CEO Andrew Levy revealed, "Anytime there is new hardware or software release, we see issues. Inevitably, over time, those issues get resolved."
Levy suggests the reasons for the iPhone 5s crashing double as much as Apple's other two devices is due to developers not being able to beta test the compatability of iOS 7 with the new hardware.
The iPhone 5s comes with a new 64-bit A7 chip and an M7 coprocessor, compared to the 5c's internal hardware which is nearly identical to the iPhone 5.
Apple launched iOS 7 last month and has since pushed out two updates for the new OS.
The new operating system has also received complaints due to the new transition, zooming, animation, and parallax scrolling features which have reportedly been making some users sick.
Levy states that higher crash ratios are expected when new devices and new operating systems are launched but since Apple are now aware of the situation, it should be fixed in the near future.
