Which Devices Can Run iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS Monterey and watchOS 8?

Apple just announced updates to their operating systems which include iOS 15, macOS Monterey, watchOS 8 and iPadOS 15 at WWDC.

Apple usually eliminates support for a few models each year so check out the list below to see if your device is supported for the upcoming year.
