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."
