Hi Walter & others, Apple's iOS 11 leaves iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, 4th-gen iPad in dust in 64-bit transition
iOS 11 update marks the end of support for not only 32-bit apps, but also legacy 32-bit devices. That means owners still clinging to their iPhone 5, iPhone 5c and fourth-generation iPad will be left behind —or forced to upgrade. The move isn't a surprise, as Apple's recently released Clips video app <http://appleinsider.com/articles/17/04/06/apple-clips-app-64-bit-only-another-move-suggesting-end-of-32-bit-device-support> only supports 64-bit hardware, meaning it cannot run on the iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, fourth-generation iPad, or any devices older than those. Accordingly, iOS 11 will also mark the end of the line for 32-bit apps <http://appleinsider.com/articles/17/06/06/apples-first-ios-11-beta-signals-beginning-of-end-for-tens-of-thousands-of-32-bit-apps>, which do not run in the first beta of the mobile operating system. Developers will need to update their apps to 64-bit before the launch of iOS 11 this fall, or else users will need to ditch abandoned apps before upgrading.
