That's why I put the yet in between. I don't expect that the 5S has more than 4GB RAM.
Of course, it is possible to address more than 4GB in a 32-bit operating system with processor extensions, if you limit the address space of processes to 4GB (see e.g. PAE). I don't expect that we'll see many applications needing more than that soon. Maybe games?
- SigmundA 13y agoAddress space isn't just about ram. Memory mapped files are used extensively in iOS, 64 bit means basically no limits on memory mapping size from file in flash.
- danieldk 13y agoI know. I still don't believe that iPhone Apps have such requirements in the near future. Except for possibly games. But currently it would not be very attractive for studios to target the 5S only. So, I assume that your sibling is right, it is more of a preparation for the future (apart from the benefits of a new ARM version).
