Hi, I believe the 4gb of memory access applies to Windows-based
operating systems and not Apple devices. But I am just spewing out what
I think I know. It's true that in Windows if you have a 32-bit system
and more than 4gb of ram, only the first 4gb will be used, but 64-bit
will use more than 4gb. But isn't this Apples and Oranges, or better
yet, Apples and Windows?

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

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.

From everything I've read 64 bit only makes a difference when your
using at or above 4gb of ram. The iPhone definitely doesn't have that
much so I 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."
