This also causes the tab to freeze on the OS X version of Safari as well. OS X 10.9 (13A584) Safari 7.0 (9537.71)

Same goes for Chrome 29.0.1547.76

"29.0.1547.76 m" works fine for me (must be the 'm'). Just takes a bit of time to load the view-source.

To be fair though, that form has like 5-6 thousand hidden inputs.

The conditions of the problem would be clearer if they didn't hide the extra form elements. But then they wouldn't be able to get the punch of "a simple form breaks iOS 7!"

I'd love to know what the use-case is for a page with 6000 form items!

Yeah. I get that it's a problem that iOS7 safari crashes with a lot of inputs, but that's an insanely-huge number of inputs. This is kind of an edge-case and you should probably avoid doing that in your web-pages. A hundred-ish inputs per-page is probably a better idea.

Should I ask what form your company needs that actually has 5076 input fields?

Yeah, Apple never fixes bugs. Like iOS 7.0.1, 7.0.2 and the forthcoming 7.0.3, all within a couple of weeks of a major new release. Those contain no bug fixes.

Also Apple is the only company with bugs. They're really incompetent. Especially for not catching this simple form bug with 5,000 hidden fields.

If you want a bug fixed, you need to file it at bugreport.apple.com. Complaining in the forums won't get it tasked to an engineer.

This should be renamed to iOS7 Disaster! Oh and also this crashes on most modern browsers too...

Odd, it works fine on my kindle web browser...
