Apple Of course, like any other company in the world, it cannot release a new version of the operating system iOS support all your devices. With the introduction iOS 7 so the question arose, what kind of device would be Apple support the latest version of the operating system iOS and what restrictions they will face. Surprisingly, the company will support a relatively large number of devices and iOS 7 can be installed on iPad 2nd generation, iPad 3rd generation, iPad 4th generation, iPad mini, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5 and iPod touch 5th generation. While Apple supports iPhones and iPads for quite a long time, in the case of the iPod touch the situation is completely different and iOS 7 will only be installed by owners of the latest generation.
Apple will offer all features to all users of the listed devices iOS 7 except function Airdrop, which will be available only to users iPhone 5, iPad 4th generation, iPad mini and the 5th generation iPod touch, which also haveCloud account. Another limitation concerns the in-camera filters that work directly in live view, they will only be available for iPhone 5 and iPod touch 5th generation. Photo filters will then be available on all devices except iPad 2nd generation. Panorama and Siri of course, they only remain on devices that offer these features in iOS 6. The only limitation is that Apple for owners of older devices that iOS 7 support prepared by AirDrop and Camera Filters. More information about iOS 7 you will learn right here.
I don't understand why it isn't. airdrop also available for iPad 3.
Why not? airdrop on iphone 4S?
I know the ipod touch 5 has the same a5 chip, why did they do that ;)
The unavailability of filters is understandable, they need a lot of CPU power.
Unavailability AirThe drop is hardly for technical reasons, it's more of a marketing ploy to force people to buy a new phone.
zabak: it's understandable that filters need a CPU, but ipod 5 gen. I have an A5 that also has 4s and so on ipad mini
the fact that there is no marketing on 4s is possible, but ipad mini is the newest device of its "line mini"so it's quite strange that iPads don't support it
orecho: so all the restrictions are just disgusting business practices. I don't mind (don't care about) filters, but AirDrop me a real s..e.
The part of the presentation where he mocked the need to "tap" with another phoneonem for image exchange was embarrassing. They themselves were not willing to solve it for years and when they did, they added unreasonable restrictions.
All this just shows greed Appyou. iPhone The 4s and iPad3 aren't that old.

This is not marketing, but a limitation wireless chipset that does not support WPAN function. iPad 3 has BCM4329 chipset, e.g. iPhone 5 has BCM4334.
I hope that Apple does not exceed the limitations of a low-cost iPhone
