iOS 8 - What iPads and iPhones are Compatible with iOS 8?

Apple has been talking about iOS 8 for a while, but I still get tons of questions about what devices will be able to run the newest iteration of Apple's mobile device operating system.  There have been a lot of rumors and talk about this -- but with Apple's big announcements last week that included the Apple Watch (I want one) and new iPhones -- the cat is out of the bag!  This is especially important for schools and classrooms who have invested in 1:1 iPad programs!  Get ready now!

Here is the breakdown of iOS Compatible Devices:
