Issues with "Force Closes"

I have experienced issues in iOS 7 with apps "force closing". For example, I was deleting photos, and the app not only force closed but also caused the phone to go to a black screen with the battery indicator in red (even though I had plenty of battery life). I had to plug the phone in, then it restarted.

I installed iOS 7 on iTunes and restored as new.

If you can reproduce it at will, take it to the Apple store and demonstrate the problem for them. This may also be helpful.

I haven't been able to reproduce the problem. I did have an issue where the shutter sound wasn't registering, but a soft reset fixed that.

Can we not use the term "force close" anymore? :p I believe you mean crashing. Yes, I have seen some of the built-in apps crash on iOS 7. Photos and iTunes music store in particular.

I had the photos app crash on me while deleting pics as well but it didn't cause my 5S to freak out. Just standard crash to home screen.

I can use whatever terminology you want. Yes, I know "force close" is a term from Android, but since I used to live In the Android world, that's the term I'm familiar with.
