If the phone were to simply reboot rather than show a blue screen, and then reboot, no one would care about this issue. It would just be another bug in iOS 7. The media just seems to enjoy any sensational twist to the story.
iOS 7 is buggy, get over it [I'm a developer, I've been on iOS 7 since the Betas, it's still buggy]. Hopefully 7.1 (and please, Apple, 7.2 and 7.3) will fix a lot of these issues.
- gibwell 13y agoIt doesn't show a blue screen before rebooting. If you read the article you'll see that it's a tortured attempt to redefine any kind of freeze as a 'BSOD' in order to hang this label on Apple. This is extremely likely to be a paid piece placed by a competitor.
- manojlds 13y agoIf you read the article, it says that the screen actually turns blue for few seconds and goes blank. Moreover, even Windows has not shown me the blue screen in a long while ( since Windows 7, now on 8.1 ), but still people call the restarts BSOD. Get over it.
- piyush_soni 13y agoAlthough very rarely, it does show the BSOD in Windows 7 for me. I think it's like 3 to 4 times in total, in past 2 years.
- manojlds 13y agoYeah I know the Blue screen comes on Windows 7 ( and 8 ) Just that it has not happened to me ( I have had the crashes )
- alive-or-not 13y agoThe default setting is to reboot, without showing BSOD.
- gibwell 13y agoThere's nothing to get over. The article is a dishonest attempt to smear iOS with the reputation for reliability that was associated with early Windows,
- manojlds 13y agoIf there is a blue screen, and it crashes after showing it, it can be called the BSOD. Anyway, it's official, it's on Wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Screen_of_Death#iPhone_5S http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Screen_of_Death#iPhone_5S :)
- gibwell 13y agoNone of that makes it any less dishonest.
- camus 13y agoI get BSODs sometimes on my laptop with W7, it's not gone at all.
- aclevernickname 13y agoYour statement was a little disingenuous, because they changed the color to red. I had an RSOD in Win7 about a week ago due to a driver issue.
- krallja 13y agoTwo days ago, my phone's screen turned a snowy blue-on-black; what I suspect is the LCD's test pattern when no data is being sent to it. Then the phone rebooted, showing the Apple logo and then the unlock screen.
- jasonlotito 13y agoIt's a blue screen. http://www.imore.com/ios-7-blue-screen-death-caught-video-wild http://www.imore.com/ios-7-blue-screen-death-caught-video-wi... > This is extremely likely to be a paid piece placed by a competitor. Oh, the way that statement can be interpreted.
