I read somewhere that it would be needed because of the finger print scanner
and breaking up the finger print and storing it in several other areas to
better protect the data. I don't think for the blind it's going to make
that much difference but we are all just speculating. we'll see what is
being said by those who then actually have a 5s in hand. I still have the
iPhone 4 and am getting the 5s mostly because my wife and I have already put
the money aside for it about a year ago when people were saying they would
come out with a new iPhone in January. We all know that it never happened
so we still have the money and last Christmas sort of sucked! <grin> I'm
very much looking forward to getting the 5s.

Subject: Re: Apple's possible reason for going 64Bit
I'm not sure what articles you're reading. I think it's true that you
won't see any advantage to the iPhone having a 64-bit processor at the
moment, although I've definitely read articles that say it does speed up
the finger print scanning and a few other things.
It's absolutely not true though that the only thing you get from a 64-bit
operating system is the ability to address more than 4G of real memory. If
you're reading an article that states that then you should stop reading
because the author clearly doesn't know what they're talking about.
Obviously, you will be able to address more than 4G of memory, but you can
also pass more information between processes at one time, address a larger
file system and so on. When dealing with large amounts of data, such as in
a database or a spread sheet, there's less memory indirection, so there's
improved performance. There's a reason servers, desktops and laptops have
all gone to 64-bit processors, operating systems and applications, and it
isn't just marketing.
Just as with PC's, Macs and laptops, the hardware had to move to 64-bit
before the operating system and applications could start taking advantage
of it. that's exactly what we're seeing now. You may not see advantage to
the 64-bit chips in the iPhone today, but it's a necessary step to get to
the applications that need the additional memory, file system size and
computing power.

really don't get the point of it.
I've come across more than one article saying that this is just marketing
and won't make a bit of difference in performance.

How so? Is this just because it's 64-bit or is it because of the
additional features and performance obtained by going to 64-bit?
There was also some marketing going on here as well. It's only a matter
of time before Samsung and others start taking advantage of 64-bit ARM
chips in their hand sets, and now Apple can claim to be the first.

Subject: Apple's possible reason for going 64Bit
Hi all,
Just came across the following article and decided to post some text I
found
interesting. The following is the author's reasoning for why Apple
added
the
64bit chip to the new iPhone: for new features to work, Apple
absolutely
had
to begin using the 64bit chip.
"But here's the difference. Apple needs 64-bit for fingerprint
authentication as well as the camera features the company has added to
the
latest iPhone. In other words, 64-bit is an enabler to features that
may
matter to the masses.
There's also an enterprise play here too. With 64-bit and fingerprint
authentication, Apple can make a good security case to companies as
well as
support end-to-end virtual private networks. Third party support will
determine if Apple has more enterprise mojo due to 64-bit.
Apple did make the iPhone 5S backward compatible and developers can
reportedly transition apps to 64-bit easily. There's a good reason for
that
move: 64-bit is a selling point in only limited cases. Like the PC
industry
saw, the ecosystem has to catch up to 64-bit and that can take years."
