Apple may have only introduced 64-bit computing (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/10/apple-unveils-64-bit-a7-chip/) to iPhones and iPads a little over a year ago, but it's already preparing for the day when legacy 32-bit code is gone for good. The Cupertino crew is now telling developers (https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=10202014a) that their iOS apps must include 64-bit support from February 1st onward. While the company won't kick out existing titles, both new apps and updated releases will have to make the switch. Theoretically, this is easy -- developers just have to build apps using the most recent tools and standard settings.
