Apple released iOS 7 on Wednesday. It's a fabulous update to Apple's mobile operating system, but there are nine new features that aren't available on certain older models that can otherwise run iOS 7.
iOS 7 can be installed on iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5c, and 5s; iPad 2, iPad with Retina Display (iPad 3 and iPad 4); iPad mini; and iPod touch (5th Generation). Apple listed nine different features that aren't available on all of those devices, and we broke that list down into table format to make it easier to digest.
If a new feature in iOS 7 isn't listed below, it should be available on all iOS 7-compatible devices.

As noted by Allison Sheridan of NosillaCast in the comments below, filters are available on the iPhone 4 in the Apple's Photos.app. It's the camera filters in iOS 7 in Camera.app that Apple specified as not being available on the iPhone 4.
*Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Cellular data charges may apply. New female and male voices will be available initially in U.S. English, French, and German. Returning calls and playing voicemail are available on iPhone 4s or later.
