Apps running on the iPhone 5S are crashing more than on the 5C

iPhone5SThe mixture of new software and hardware improvements is enough to make apps running on the iPhone 5S more crash-prone than those on other iPhone models.

Apps running on the iPhone 5S crash twice as often as those available on the iPhone 5 oriPhone 5C, data from mobile app analytics company Crittercism shows. The information, which was presented to All Things Digital and published on Friday, comes from analyzing "hundreds of millions of apps," according to the tech site.

The reason for the increased crash instances might actually be a hardware problem. Although app developers were able to fix iOS 7 bugs for months while the software was in testing, thus limiting crashes on the iPhone 5 and nearly identical iPhone 5C, they weren't made aware of the iPhone 5S' 64-bit architecture or its M7 coprocessor until the device was unveiled. Those app developers are now trying to catch up.

Still, Crittercism doesn't anticipate the higher crash rate to last forever. In an interview with All Things Digital, CEO Andrew Levy said that "inevitably, over time, those issues get resolved."
