iOS 7 Problems, Flaws & Updates: Apple iPhone 5s Users Complain of 'Blue Screen of Death'
Despite Apple's continuous updates and fixes, iOS 7 complaints continue into mid-October.
Thanks to Apple's forums, users have been posting about a "blue screen of death" issue that has emerged in the iPhone community. While a screen of death sounds incredibly similar to the Xbox 360's "red ring of death," which indicates that the Xbox is toast and needs to be replaced, the iPhone screen of death is merely a glitch. However, it is becoming a glitch that occurs on far too many apps, including Safari, YouTube, and the camera. It has most often been reported on the notes or Numbers app.
"If I open a document in Numbers, then press the power button, the phone seems to power itself off almost instantly instead of just going to sleep," one person said on the Apple forums.
Others also posted with similar concerns and complaints.
"I am having the same problem myself when using the pages app to open my saved resume and then trying to email it to someone," another 5s owner chimed in. "If i do that then go to open the notes app that I have a typed message I want to copy and paste in the same email, as soon as I paste it in the email the screen goes blue and restarts."
iOS 7 has received quite the mix of reviews. While there are mostly positive reviews for those who have not experienced glitches or other common problems, there have been many complaints early on as Apple tries to iron out the new operating system. Some top complaints have included problems with the battery draining too quickly, as well as motion sickness from some of the animations on applications.
