iPhone5S twice more prone to app crashes compared to iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C due to hardware problems, However app developers are now trying to catch up.
The iPhone5S has been widely acclaimed by iPhone App development Companies and iPhone App developers for its pathbreaking features as the Touch ID and phenomenal 64-bit A7 processor and M7 coprocessor. However latest reports by Critterism has literally revealed serious chinks in the armor. The iPhone 5S although acclaimed to be the latest, fastest and greatest iPhone ever, has been experiencing its fair of serious issues of bugs and app crashes. The iPhone 5S reportedly faces more app crash than its predecessor iPhone 5 or older models of the tech giant’s flagship product. While app crashes are a common occurrence when there’s an up gradation, the higher rate of app crashes in iPhone 5S has indeed made everybody stand and take notice.
According to research released by Crittercism, A leading mobile app performance monitoring company, where-in it monitored hundreds of millions of apps launched since iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S became available. The apps running on iPhone 5S crash twice as often as the same apps on iPhone5, Iphone5C or other models. Critterscism claims that the Apple iPhone 5S has a crash rate that is twice that on iPhone 5 and iphone 5C. Thus while the usual rate for app crashes on iPhone is a little under 1 percent, the rate on the iPhone 5S is closer to 2 percent. Another common issue reported has been linked to multitasking on the iPhone 5S is the frequent occurrence of the bug called ‘blue screen of death’ (BSOD) that appears on the iPhone screen. The iPhone app developers at Openxcell, The leading Off-Shore iPhone app development Company too tested apps on both iPhone 5S and iPhone 5 and found noticeable amount of crashes. In some cases there were springboard crashes that were absolutely annoying. It was also noticed on multiple occasions that iPhone 5S crashed and booted itself randomly. At times it just crashed to give the blue screen of death (BSOD) when our developers attempted multi tasking.
A major reason to the issue is attributed to the fact that while the developers just had the iOS 7 software to check the apps for compatibility during the several months of beta testing, but they had no clue about the latest iPhone 5S hardware of 64- bit A7 chip and M7 co-processor that powers the iPhone 5S. The developers were indeed taken by surprise with the launch of the 64-bit architecture A7 processor and the M7 coprocessor. Since iPhone 5C and iPhone5 share the same A6 chip and are nearly identical, internally, the two flagship models performed the same and continue to offer a seamless experience. Thus because the developers were unable to check compatibility with the new 64-bit A7 processor on the latest iPhone 5S and its new 64 bit processor ahead of its launch even though testing for iOS 7 on 32-bit chips had been possible since the first beta was released at the Apple’ Annual worldwide developers Conference in June, There have emerged certain transition challenges which shall be soon resolved.
Crittercism CEO Andrew Levy also has reassured iPhone app developers and iPhone App development companies that “The good news is that Apple is certainly aware of issues. They’ve pushed out two iOS updates for iOS7…Apple is dong a really old job of addressing these issues as they come up.” The Cupertino based giant has since the iPhone 5S launch last month redesigned and optimized a number of noteworthy apps, and the trends is set to follow. Although this is an inevitable problem with each release of hardware or new operating system, it has been surprising to see app crash at such a higher rate. While Apple has already released two new updates to the iOS, iPhone app developers and iPhone app development company eagerly look forward to the launch of iOS 7.0.3 expected on November 22 to overcome the transition challenge.
