Ios7 problems, safari crashes

I've tried www.di.se and crashes twice.

I've tried a third time and no crash. That's strange.

I'm sure it's due to memory leak. The process of virtual memory management must be buggy.

I don't understand why the iPad air has only 1GB RAM since web browsing uses a lot of memory.

Update: After living with the iOS 7.1 update for 6 days now, I am pleased to report that it has fixed the main problem that was driving me nuts in iOS 7. Safari no longer crashes constantly--between my iPad Air and iPhone 5 it has crashed maybe a couple or three times, but I consider that normal performance since no human device is 100% perfect. (I haven't gotten around to installing it on my iPad 2 as the Air is now my primary iPad for daily use.) I have tested it on with sites (i.e., heavy graphic content, embedded videos, etc.) and actions (i.e., fast scrolling or zooming) that used to reliably cause crashes, and they no longer do.

I still notice some more minor problems, e.g., sometimes I still get constant refreshing of Safari tabs, occasionally Safari has logged me out of sites in the background when multi-tasking to other apps, and those things seem to happen more when you dare to have more than a handful of tabs open at a time. But these issues are less frequent than before and much less troublesome than the multiple daily crashes I previously experienced. So, overall, I am pleased.

I'm still highly disappointed that Apple released iOS 7 with such major bugs in the first place and then took nearly half a year to fix it. In particular, I'm still bummed that my iPad Air did not work properly right out of the box, and is now only doing so nearly four months later, after the new has worn off. After this experience, I'll be less excited and eager for the next new Apple product. Apple, thank you for finally fixing this, but please learn from this experience and never repeat such a fiasco again.

Lucky you, but try this page: www.di.se and zoom oin and out a copule of tiems or even just scroll - let me know if it still works.

That page seems to work fine for me , but my watch page on eBay still crashes !!

@segran that site works fine for me on air 32g wifi with ios7.1

I tried scrolling, zooming and following links etc. no issues at all.

Maybe you should try a cold reset/reboot?

In fact I only had one random crash of safari since the upgrade several intense use days since. All sites I use now appear to work consistently. So for me it is fixed.

Still hate ios7 look and feel though, despite the little emboldening tweaks etc. bring back ios6 look PLEASE!

Also, why doesn't the keyboard capslock change to a bright prominent colour whilst licked? The present tiny underscore is way too subtle. I repeatedly forget its on whilst typing. Very annoying indeed!

This crashing is nothing whatsoever to do with the air introduction of the 64bit CPU. it is purely an ios7 thing. I got EXACTLY the same crashing on my ipad3 (32bit), but it only started when I upgraded it to 7. Was fine before that on 6!

www.di.se works fine on my iPad Air... tried it 5 times and no crashes.

www.di.se works fine on 7.1 on my iPad Air too. Tried it multiple times, scrolled, zoomed in and out, no issues.

After I loaded 7.1, I did clear all the browser data on my iPad and did a restart.

Ok, I admit it - 7.1 seems to have fixed the Safari crashes! After a total/cold/hard reset of everything the 7.1 upgrade actually do work..........

That makes my HAPPY!

I was wrong, but I am happy to admit it! I can even forgive Apple for taking 6 months to release the fix.

Interestingly enough that article didn't crash my iPad Air. I loaded it fully in portrait since Safari seems to behave better in portrait. I rotated to landscape and refreshed..no crash. So it seems to be a common recipe for Safari crashes.

1) landscape

2) web page with lots of YouTube videos embedded

3) web page with lots of pictures

4) web page with lots of ads and background tracking and scripting

5) web page with lots of comments

Since ios7.1 my games have been crashing to home screen a lot more than before

Yup sure enough it crashed my iPad Air. It loaded slowly and when I zoomed in on that Fasicist Putin my iPad Air exploded.

Hi

Funny how we don't remmber how many months Apple has left it's users with a system that crashes regularly were still not able to use more than one app at a time although 64 Bit Arcitecture was supposed to allow that but it still dosen't - you have to physically exit one app to access the other so effectively one a time what a con.

Apple are full of marketing a concept in my opinion but the reaity is very different - even a nexus does a better job at the above Ie skype and Internet browser can be used together. Here even facetime runs in the background but the camera goes on pause whats that ?

The ipad Air does not behave like a £400 product should mostly because of it's iOS implimentation but also the hardware !

Ipad mini retina's main function, being web browsing, is finally up to acceptable levels with ios 7.1. So no crashes anymore since the update.

However, you'd expect the number one feature being more carefully tested and polished than the situation we've all experienced with frequent memory leak problems over the last months...

How one can define "acceptable levels" a browser that still leaks memory, still crashes from time to time, and still systematically on some pages (where almost no browser on any other platform crashes), is beyond me.

That's certainly a big improvement (on a ****** situation) but that's definitely nothing even close to acceptable, especially for such an expensive product and especially considering that so many much-cheaper products don't suffer from the same defect.

Yes, pages with embedded video or lots of pictures, ads, and comments frequently crash Safari on my Ipad2. It's better (sometimes) if I let the page load completely before scrolling or resizing it (zooming on the text, say), but this doesn't always help. It's getting near the point that Safari is unusable. Not only does Safari crash, sometimes the tab I was viewing reverts to a previous page (which is OK), or completely loses all it's history and comes up blank when I return to Safari (which is not an OK thing).

I'm using ios 7.1 but the situation is getting worse, not better. When is Apple going to fix what it broke with in IOS 7? My Ipad Mini I don't dare upgrade from IOS 6. Why would I, now that I know the update will break Safari?
