If you go to that Linear one’s site on an iPhone and zoom in really fast on their image of the todo list client, it immediately restarts your phone.

I reproduced it to happen with just the animated glow behind the todo list. Zooming in and then out to this animation throws my 14.2 XS Max to the lock screen.

Confirmed on an iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 14.2. Not a true restart for me, but it does kick you out to the lock screen. Crazy.

Same thing happened to me on an iPad with the latest OS version. Crazy indeed.

Confirmed on XR @ 14.2

Also happens if you open it slowly, but you have to zoom in quite a bit.

The inner image is just an image but there is a component around that. I am not a front end person and don’t have a theory but I’m also curious now.

We have quite a bit of SVG animations behind that image so might throw a curveball on Safari

Was on current iOS as of writing / on Safari, so makes sense.

It does actually, that’s crazy - if anyone is curious enough to check it out would love to hear why

Holy cow! iPad, 12.4. Sent to lock screen. Great catch!

Also crashes my iPhone 8+ running 14.2. The page is noticeably lagging when just scrolling past that image too.

Can't zoom at all on Android.

Holy shit, seems like an iOS bug.

Does the same on Chrome on an iPhone 8. Interesting.

Apple mandates WebKit as only allowed browser engine. If a page crashes iOS the error is likely in engine itself so it doesn't really matter what "browser" you actually use.

That is for quality. So there are no bugs

Is this real? I'm on Android and can't try

iOS (current) / Safari

Same - iPhone 6+ iOS 12

Same on iPhone 8+ :O

Wow, that’s consistent!

iOS 14.2

Same on 14.3
