Mobile applications crash twice as often on the iPhone 5S than they do on both the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C, according to tests by Crittercism, a mobile application performance management company.
But even with the doubled rate, crash frequency is still relatively low across all versions of the iPhone 5. The 5S has a crash rate of about 2%, compared to the original 5 and 5C's rates of just around 1%.
The 5S might be seeing more crashes than the 5C because of its new hardware, which wasn't available to developers before its launch, Ramanathan Crittercism's chief marketing officer said. The iPhone 5S includes a dual-core, 64-bit A7 chip that's nearly twice as fast as the A6 CPU, the chip that both the 5 and 5C have.

"When you change a lot of hardware, you're going to have cases where issues crop up," Ramanathan said. "Give it a few months. You'll see the crash rate render down to the norm."
To study crash rates, Crittercism looked at hundreds of millions of app launches since the release of the new iPhones.
