Apple Working on Fix for iOS 7 "Black/White Screen of Death" Bug

Welcome news for iPhone users whose devices have been suffering unexpected soft restarts since the debut of iOS 7. Apple is aware of the so called “Black/White Screen of Death” problem and plans to solve it in the near future. “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 Re/Code. No word yet on when that update is coming, though the company did release the fourth beta of iOS 7.1 to registered developers earlier this week.
