Apple has shown how it makes a difference in the gaming area and also with the photography apps which people are using to alter their photos. Games are more complex and powerful and faster, containing more graphic elements ... all improving the gaming experience. And in the photographs area ... doing modifications to your photos, which would have required desktop systems before. We’re GOING MOBILE and more computing speed and power is going to be needed!
I don’t disagree that 64-bit is on the way. I also agree that phones will soon be comparable to today’s laptops, although I personally prefer the laptop, or even tablet format. My eyes just aren’t good enough to appreciate the wonders of a 5 inch QHD display, not that has anything to do with the OS transition.
What I find hard to believe is that, with Android L (64 bit Android) on the way, Apple has secured an insurmountable pre-emptive advantage.
