iOS 7 will be 64-bit, just like the iPhone 5S' new A7 chip


In addition to announcing its new 64-bit A7 chip, which will power the flagship iPhone 5S, Apple also revealed that iOS 7 itself will be 64-bit. This means a native 64-bit kernel, along with 64-bit libraries and drivers. Accordingly, all of the native apps that come baked into iOS have been retooled to serve up faster performance (though don't worry, iOS 7 will still run 32-bit apps from third-party developers). For devs who do want to make the switch, though, Apple is promising a "seamless" transition, though details are light at the moment.
