What does 64 bit have to do with Apple having a better Google Now or Google Maps? Or something we're not even thinking about? To me 64 bit is just more evidence that Apple excels at hardware more than software.
You've missing a lot about all the software tech infused into iOS, where iOS is a full desktop class OS minus filesystem access, Android is more like an evolution of Symbian OS with runtime environment based on a JVM.
Market for so-called premium Android phones will freeze, not just cool down next year with arrival of larger screen iPhone.
Nope. And nope.

Since when? He never said that. He has always explicitly said you can’t guess more than five years into the future, so don’t bother trying. He said at MacWorld 2007 the iPhone was 5 years ahead of anything others were doing. Where are you creating “10 years”?

It’s almost as though you’re completely wrong about what you’re saying, isn’t it?

No, I don't think so. It's not like we got "greater than 24 bit / 72hz audio". Audio quality didn't keep going up and I think we are nearly at peak demand for resolution if we hit 20 megapixels. Things like infinite depth of field, or 3D capture -- sure. But screen resolutions greater than 300 DPI? There's a limit to what is "good enough" and then when everyone hits that target, they either have to innovate or the refine or it gets cheaper.
I think the days of "ten year projected trend lines" are habitual, but nobody in the audience really believes the crystal ball that goes beyond two years.
It's really impressive what Smart Phones are doing now -- but pressuring Samsung on "not yet 64 bit" is silly. It would be good for all the components and to add compatibility to -- not sure what, but since the desktop is mostly 64 bit, conventional wisdom demands it on the phone. Only, there's exact need for that much address space yet on a phone.
Samsung's great challenge is in their OS and creating a compelling "ecosystem". And they are making moves in that direction, which put them completely at odds with Google who wants them on the Android platform. Which is going to cause more fractionating of the platform. And then Samsung will be attempting to either marginalize Google or the other way around. Which means they'd better have everything good because they won't be using other people's tech -- of course, nothing prevents them from copying good ideas. Nothing. *heh*

Wow, you could put a selfie in a picture of a plate of food...
...duck lips within a plate of duck...
...mind blown.
The horror.
I wonder if even Samsung thought of that. I see a great future for you if you go to work for them. I wouldn't blame you for it, you'd just be giving them enough rope . . .

Less about the raw pixel number and more about the sensor size.. Similar to the FX vs DX in the DSLR area. Cramming a gazillion ever smaller sensor elements into the same teensy sensor area is hitting limits already.
The number looks good in the advert, the resulting image? Notsomuch.

Yes, but your 64 bit A7 supply contract to Apple no doubt means you cannot expand to 64 bit in Smartphones until Q3 2014.
I remember you mentioning before that you'd rather participate in Microsoft schemes.

Pretty sure you're right. Turn any picture into a selfie-within-a-picture. Dual camcording!

Don't care, as long as it's not Google.
Microsoft make their money selling software, Google make theirs selling ads.
That is the difference.

One slight correction if I may?
Google makes their money selling US.

Thanks. That's what I figured from his fanatical manner, humbug and pretentious air of superiority.
No you are wrong and you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Tizen 2.0 also looked like Android, and the link you gave of MWC can be seen to have the same weird controls as Tizen 1.0.
Tizen 2.0 Hands On at MWC 2013 | Engadget - YouTube
Tizen 2.2 was beta released in late July, and ripped off the look of iOS7 from WWDC nearly two months earlier.
Why do you lie about everything or speak well past your understanding of the subject? Do you really love Samsung’s third rate crap that much?
Wow Daniel no need to be so narky with a reply. Please don't plunge AI deeper into the well of Daily Mail style tech journalism!
"... We will offer the first 64-bit AP based on ARM's own core [reference design]."
And it will be slow and power-hungry.
And most Android apps will run in 32-bit compatibility mode anyway.
Time to make some popcorn!
Oh wait. No, I'll make popcorn some time next year.
Whenever Sammy rushes out their generic 64-bit ARM "reference design" SoC.
