According to Apple:
iOS 8 is the biggest iOS release ever — for developers and everyone else. It means it is going to be helpful and developers with more integrations. But that wasn’t the goal. We simply set out to create the most natural experience. Each enhancement has a purpose. Every new feature deserves to be a new feature. Each function is more considered, each next step is more efficient. It all adds up to an even better experience — one that is pleasantly surprising at first and becomes utterly indispensable before you know it.
For the Developers, iOS 8 will be more exiting as it is coming with more keyword buttons options, sharing buttons, images editors with more edit option. So as much as we can do on Mobile, iOS 8 will be there to provide all this setup.
iOS 8 will be Compatible with iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c and new coming iPhone 6
