This argument is similar to my enforcing 32b cleanliness. Really, that was an issue back in the 90s. But this enforcement happened with the x86_64 to ARMv8 migration, 64b to 64b.
So I would like an explanation from Apple for why this now. What is their rationale?
- DHowett 4y agoThe first iPhones were AArch32, and there was likely a sizable contingent of iOS software that was written to target the only existing bitness at the time :) The same reasons GP offered still apply there. The amount of software directly ported from x86_64 to AArch64 was probably minimal.
