64-bit will do more than just allow you to address more than 4G of
memory. You have twice the bandwidth to send data between processes and
threads, so assuming your applications take advantage of it, it will
result in greater performance.

I always thought that most of what 64-bit did was to lift the limit on a
system to only have 4 gb of ram usable. I don't think most phones are
approaching that yet. I think Apple could've chosen this route to
differentiate themself from others, and for other kinds of features they
were able to have in these new processors that do increase speed, but
64-bit kind of comes along with it.

Subject: Re: New iPhones
I wonder what the poor little 32-bit processor did to you to make you
wish for it's demise so much. For me, it was a great little processor in
it's day, and I still use it on my iPhone 4S. My understanding is that
IOS 9 will still support the iPhone 4S and the 32-bit processor. I
figured Apple would move on from the 32-bit processor entirely some day,
but I'm not so sure it wouldn't have been a good business model for
Apple to keep it around and compete in the lower end smart phone market.
I kind of wondered if Apple was going this direction when they re
factored IOS to perform better on low end devices. I guess that was just
done for the Apple Watch. Hmm, I wonder what processor the Apple Watch
is running? Either way, the 32-bit processor did nothing but good things
for me, so I'm not doing a little happy dance because it's going away.

Hi all
If what I read on Mac Daily News about the lack of an iPhone 6C plus
the discontinuation of the 5C is true, this year will be a very
significant year for iPhone owners. Why? All iPhones from the 5s up
are 64 bit. Theoretically, this means 32 bit is dead as far as the
iPhone is concerned. To my knowledge, 32 bit is dead throughout the
iOS device range as even the new iPod Touch is now 64 bit. I say good
riddance to 32 bit! RIP.
