iOS 8 will be presented on June 2 2014, iOS beta 8 1 to be launched by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), during the same evening after the conclusion of the opening keynote of WWDC 2014. The new version of the operating system will be available to developers of applications for the iOS platform and will be compatible only with iDevices that can run it, and here we cannot include the old iPhone 4 and the old tablet iPad 2.
iPhone 4 was launched in 2010 and has a single-core processor with 512 MB RAM, while iPad 2 was launched in 2011 with a dual-core processor and the same 512 MB RAM. None of these products it will not run iOS 8 and not necessarily because their hardware is outdated, but because Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), they must put forward the current, newer, more expensive products, leaving the old ones to disappear, as is normal.
If so iPhone 4 we are clearly talking about weak hardware, in the case iPad 2 things are not quite like that, the tablet having the same hardware as iPad Mini or iPhone 4S(which has the processor clocked at a lower frequency), so theoretically all 3 devices could run the new version of iOS. Considering, however, that Apple removed the iPad 2 from sale this year, the iPhone 4 being withdrawn last year, it is as clear as possible that if you have such a tablet you will have to look for a newer model.
No one knows what the system requirements will be iOS 8, we know that the old terminals will not work as well and we know that everything that is old will disappear because that is how things work in business. Those who have iPhone 4 or iPad 2 and iOS 7 installed, you know that the performances are not among the best and you are aware that an update to iOS 8 it will make things worse, so it would be good to think about now what you will upgrade this year.
