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.

1. iPhone5 more App friendly then 5S, reports more
app crash than ever
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.

2. 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

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.
