Apple released in September 2013IPhone 5sWas talked about as the first terminal equipped with the fingerprint authentication sensor "Touch ID", but it was also the first smartphone equipped with the chip adopting the 64-bit architecture chip. All previous applications were 32-bit applications, but since the advent of iPhone 5s, Apple will also require developers to develop 64-bit applications.

And since February 2015 support for 64 bit applications became indispensable.

In iOS 10.2.1, a 32-bit application will display a pop-up notification saying "The developer of the App needs to update this App to improve compatibility." further,From iOS 10.3The pop-up notice says, "This app may not work on future iOS versions, App developers need to update this app to improve compatibility" and clearly " There is a possibility that it may not work with the iOS version of "


Meanwhile, Steven Troton Smith, one of the most prominent developers, is talking about tweeting "Apple will end 32-bit application support on iOS 11". If Apple has finished supporting 32-bit applications, it is possible that many of the applications that could be used without any problem will not work.

Mr. Smith does not know the truth of the information that he is speaking at the moment, but Mr. Smith says hearing Apple's future trend "very clearly". First of all, 9to 5Mac points out that there is not such a big surprise that the topic "Apple will end support for 32-bit applications" if you are following the trend of Apple so far.

Furthermore, Mr. Smith has tweeted, "If 32-bit applications are no longer supported by future A Series chips, will that performance and die space be liberated?"

(... and it sounds like future A-series chips will not include include 32-bit support. Wonder if that's free up any performance / die space?

Even if 32-bit application support is terminated, there will be no major impact on general users. However, developers need to update 32-bit applications to support 64-bit applications before support ends, it is highly likely that applications will become unusable unless updated.

End of support for 32-bit applications is seen as an action for Apple to remove "apps left unattended problems" from the App Store, and Apple is under similar goals So far50 thousand piecesThese applications are deleted.
