See if Your Apple Device is iOS 5 Compatible
Question: What Devices Are iOS 5 Compatible?
With the release of each major new version of its iOS operating system, users of older iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads hold their breath as they wait to find out whether their device is compatible with the new OS. With iOS 5 on the horizon, the question is: What devices are iOS 5 compatible?
Answer:
The devices that are iOS 5 compatible are:
iPhone
iPad
iPod touch
This means, unfortunately, that if you have an older model--such as an iPhone 3G--you're out of luck when it comes to iOS 5. That said, if your hardware is that old, isn't it probably time for an upgrade anyway?
iOS 5.1
All of the devices on this list are also compatible with iOS 5.1.
