Q: iOS8 on iPad3
Does anyone know if iOS8 will be running on the iPad 3. I was not sure after watching the WWDC today.
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 7.1.1

The iPad 3 was called "iPad With Retina Display" in all official advertisements and documents. . It was the first one to have it. Then came iPad 4 which was also called iPad with Retina Display and it replaced the iPad 3.
The iPad 3 was never called iPad 3. Just like the iPad 4 was never called iPad 4. The only iPad to have a number in its official name is iPad 2.
The Supported models mention iPad with Retina Display, that means both iPad 3 and iPad 4 will get the update.
Like with iOS 7 before it some features may not be available in older models.
I'm surpised the iPad 2 will get a 4th major iOS update, though.
