Hi all,
I've had my Air for about a week and I'm finding that it seems to crash a lot. I had an iPhone 4 when it was released, got bored of the OS by the time by 2 year contract was up and went to Windows Phone. Still happy with that decision, so much so I was going to try and get a Windows tablet to replace my very crap year old Galaxy Tab 10.1 2, but the lack of a Sky Go app was a killer for me. So it was either get a tablet without a killer app I really did require, go for Android again and expect to have to replace it again in a years time, or go for an iPad.
I was reluctant to go for an iPad for various reasons which I'm not going to go into here because it'll just start a "fan boy" war. I'm no fan boy of any OS/device, I'm just into my tech and go for what is best for my needs at the time, whether that's Windows, Android or iOS, but my preference was to try and stay away from iOS if I could. But I couldn't and there you go.
Anyway I digress. The one thing I knew, or thought I knew, was that from my time with an iPhone 4 and iOS 4 and 5, the OS would be stable and would certainly give me 2 years at least of good use with little or no downgrade in performance after OS upgrades. I'm however finding that there are stupid crashes happening quite often. On Sunday the whole thing froze for a good few minutes before rebooting. I can't recall which app I was in at the time and had been going in and out of several ones trying to keep my 1 year old entertained. While in landscape mode the iTunes Movie store crashes on load every single time. It's fine in Portrait though which I don't understand. The App Store I don't think has yet crashed on me, but iTunes does quite often, as well as other third party apps. Now to be fair it could well be a problem with the third party apps that is causing those to crash, but for iTunes to crash every time just doesn't seem right.
Is anyone else having problems like these? Is it just an Air problem or is there a deep rooted problem with iOS 7 on all of their devices?
Thanks.
