Hi Brent, The 4 Gb limitation, it's actually 3 Gb for 32 bit processors in a PC is a Windows thing. It is my understanding that it's almost a given that the new iPhones this year get a memory boost from 1 gb to 2 Gb and I'm sure that makes quite a bit of a difference for certain apps, but how efficiently an operating system is and uses available resources is entirely up to the maker of said operating system.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Chaltain" <chalt...@gmail.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Friday, August 28, 2015 6:35 AM 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.
