It'll be available for all devices supported by iOS 8, so going back to iPhone 4S.

The runtime of Swift is also the runtime of Objective-C, but the runtime might need some upgrades to fully support the Swift semantics in a safe manner.

EDIT: Correction. It's available also on iOS 7. Just confirmed by Apple. Great :)

It was clarified during the "State of the Union" talk immediately following the keynote.

The video should be available on Apple's site (or if not, very shortly).
