64-bit is going to be a ballache straight off the bat.
It seems like it should have been here already.
Don't know what the 1 day bit is about, it's going to take months for apps to update.
“You’ve heard a lot about iOS 7, but what we haven’t told you is that its been completely engineed for 64 bit at the same time. It’s got a new 64-bit kernel, libraries, and drivers. All built-in apps have been reengineered. It’s a seamless dev transition, with full backwards compatibility. “
The Touch ID fingerprint sensor is capacitive, 170 microns thin, has a 500 ppi resolution, scans sub-epidermal skin layers, and has 360 degree readability (no matter how you train the sensor to read your finger, it can read it from any rotation).
Why 64bit? Surely that is pointless exercise. 64bit will allow OS's to address more than 16TB memory and overcomes the 32bit limit of 4GB of memory addressing. However the 5S has, I'm guessing, 1GB RAM, adding more RAM would increase power usage. All apps are currently 32bit so won't even access the 64bit registers to take advantage of the processor and 64 bit apps use more memory and resources than 32bit. Developers will have to compile 32bit and 64bit apps and they won't be any faster. Still it makes for great marketing, "the first 64bit phone".

That being said how ever I really like the idea of the high speed camera.
