That's precisely why I went for the 5S back in January. That 65-bit processor will become increasingly beneficial as time progresses. I hope not to have to upgrade for a good number of years. As long as the current version of iOS is well supported, I don't plan on upgrading.
It's a neverending tredmill unless you can find a point of satisfaction and live with your choice. I've upgraded from a 4 to my 5S and couldn't be happier with the result. These devices put a stupendous amount of power and capability in one's pocket. My 32 gb phone even has room for me to have the entire English Wikipedia at my desposal even when I'm offline. Wikioffline2 plus the database eat up around four gb of space. Despite that, I still have room for over 1000 songs, gps, hundreds of books, etc. It's astonishing how quickly we start to take such capability for granted. On 4/30/14, Donald L.
