DO NOT CLICK THE LINK! Hour later I am still unable to restart my phone. It hangs on logo!! This may be a permanent fuck ;( unsure exact version but I have iOS 7 that hasnt been updated in about six months.

DO NOT CLICK THE LINK! Never imagined I'd read those words at HN. How times have changed. Be sensible people.

try a force restart (home + power button for about 10 seconds)

  What is home?

    I think he meant hold down volume down + power button for 10 seconds.

      Older iPhones with physical home button use that for restart.

        Last year’s model.

        Last year’s iPhones 8 use volume down + power for restart because home is not a button, but a sensor and it has to be powered to work.

      there's no iOS 7 device without home button :)

    It's the name of the round button at the bottom of the iPhones without Face ID.

Seems like on restart Safari wants to revisit previously opened pages and crashes again ad infinitum. Isn't there a way to cold-restart iOS devices or some such (like the magic "Zap NVRAM and repair permissions" procedure back in PowerMac times)?

  "Seems like on restart Safari wants to revisit previously opened pages" I've always found that behavior annoying. If I want to revisit the last page, I can find it in history.

    I'm sure you're in the absolute minority. Most people want all apps, including the browser, to stay the way they were when they closed them, even after a reboot

      Do you have data for this? I'm also in the absolute minority
    - ams6110 8y ago
      Me too. I want a blank page when I open my browser. If I reboot a device, I want nothing but base system running when it restarts.

      I sure as heck want my tabs back. But I'd settle for "restore tabs" as I have to do that a lot in chrome on my MacBook Pro. On my Android, the tabs are just there and I really appreciate it. I have over a dozen tabs open on my phone and two dozen on my laptop.

Able to reboot fine on iOS 12 after the crash. Safari didn’t try to reopen closed windows as well.

No hang on 11.4.1. It came back fine.

If you use iCloud for Safari, you can close another device's Safari tab from your Mac. click the iCloud tabs icon on desktop Safari, then click the circle-x to close the offending tab.

  This is a great suggestion for those stuck on this crash
