Apple: Software Update Coming to Fix iOS 7 "White Screen of Death"
If you have been experiencing random reboots on your iPhone, Apple has an upcoming software update that will fix the problem.
While Windows users often report about the "blue screen of death", iOS 7 users now have their fair share of the "white/black screen of death" too.
According to Mashable, Apple has officially acknowledged the problem and is coming up with a fix for the software bug. Based on several reported cases, the color of the boot-up screen depends on the color of the iPhone's face. A white face will lead to a white boot-up screen while a black one will produce a black boot-up screen.
"We have a fix in an upcoming software update for a bug that can occasionally cause a home screen crash," Apple spokesperson Trudy Muller told Mashable.
Any iPhone running iOS 7 can be affected by the software bug although there are some reports that the rebooting tends to occur when the battery drops below 30%. The update is expected to be delivered alongside iOS 7.1 which will bring some interface and design changes.
