Which Devices Won't Make the Cut for iOS 8?

[iMacBooked]

I really hope my 4S will get iOS 8, but I'm fairly sure it will.

5S is most defenitely out. It's about time to move on.

Devices supported for iOS 8 CONFIRMED:

• iPad 2
• iPhone 4s
• iPhone 5
• iPhone 5s
• iPhone 5c
• iPod Touch 5
• iPad with Retina Display (iPad 3 / 4)
• iPad Air
• iPad mini
• iPad mini with Retina

So I was right. If any A5 device is getting 8, so would every-device else, including iPad 2.


It just wouldn't make sense for Apple to drop iPad 2 iOS support.

So, they cut the iPhone 4 (makes sense) and kept all of the A5 devices. The wording with "iPad with Retina Display" is weird; it's not clear as to whether that is third and fourth generations or just fourth (as it wouldn't be just third).

iOS 8 is gonna run like crap on these A5 devices, especially the iPad 2 and first generation iPad mini.

iPad 3 however doesn't look like it would get it...but that's because it's a poorly designed iPad.

System performance between the iPad 2 and third generation iPad are similar enough that them dropping the third generation is odd.

Everything still being sold by Apple will receive an update. Plus the iPad 3 and 4. The iPhone 4 will not receive an update.

Well technically the iPad 3 is also called "iPad with Retina Display" or "iPad". So it may get it.

Everything still being sold by Apple will receive an update. Plus the iPad 3. So that just leaves the iPhone 4 without an update.

iPad 3 is not being sold by Apple. You must be thinking of iPad 4.

I said "plus the iPad 3" because it is no longer sold.

 

[Manatlt]

Well the iPad 3 is confirmed to have iOS 8. So yep, all A5 devices supports iOS 8.
