Apple's iOS 11 update may actualize the dreaded change that 32-Bit device users have feared. After the iOS 10.3.2 update, the company aims to move all iOS devices over to a 64-bit architecture.

 iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, and 4th-generation iPad owners may have had a sigh of relief after Forbes reported that the software support for such devices would continue with the release of iOS 10.3.2. However, despite the so-called extension, the succeeding mobile OS may not be that considerate.

Although the successor of iOS 10 is yet to be released, there are already reports claiming that the upcoming Apple aims to move all their iOS devices to a 64-bit architecture, according to Express. This would mean severing the software support for older versions of Apple devices under 32-bit architecture.

Apps lacking the software support will be more vulnerable to security threats. Such action of the company will also affect the accessibility and use of some apps, including specific use on the App store. Abandoned and unsupported applications that remained stagnant over the past years will be cleared from the App store list.

Such changes to be implemented by the upcoming iOS 11 will enable the company to release hardware only capable of running 64-bit apps. This was shared by prominent iOS developer Steve Troughton-Smith as mentioned by the same publication. In effect, there would be more room for an upgrade for future Apple devices, allowing more CPU cores, larger CPU cores, and even better GPU.

Meanwhile, it is expected by experts and enthusiast that the follow-up to iOS 10.3.2 will be disclosed during its annual developer's conference, WWDC. The event would likely be happening on June 5th, 2017. It is to be expected that a sneak peek for the upcoming iOS 11 will be showcased along with its compatibility with the highly anticipated iPhone 8.
