Comment on Ask HN: If iPad CPU is now "desktop class", why does the browser crash so much?parent

Comments

If it's due to more SW bugs in iPads than in laptops, can this be due to iOS being relatively immature as an OS compared to OSX and Windows?

I have no experience with or knowledge about iOS, so my guess is as good as yours, sorry.. but my guess is yes, either that or maybe the browsers for it do things slightly differently. At any rate, I think unless software makes assumptions about hardware/memory instead of checking first, "weak" (but otherwise not faulty) hardware should not lead to a crash.
