Last Major Update for A5 Chip Devices

[iOS Gravity]

Do you think that iOS 8 will be the last major update for A5 devices? My iPod Touch is running pretty fast on iOS 8 beta 1.

Yup, this is the last major update A5 chipset devices will get.

Unless Apple changes the iOS animations from being rendered on the CPU to the GPU on iOS 9 then iOS 8 will be the last update for A5 devices.

The reason I'm asking is because iOS 8 runs pretty smooth on my iPod Touch.

The iPod also got some features that the iPhone 4S didn't get in the iOS 7 update.

Yeah but on the plus side it will give me an excuse to update my mini to a new one.
