iPad mini and iPad 4 Features Review and iOS 6.0 UnTethered Jailbreak Details
After announcing the new 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro and updates to both the iMac and Mac mini desktop computers, Apple unveiled the brand iPad mini and the 4th Generation iPad or the iPad 4.
While neither iOS 6.1 nor iOS 6.0.1 were announced during the event, like expected, it’s possible that the two iPads will ship with a newer version of iOS 6 than the current 6.0 firmware.
iPad mini, iPad 4 and iOS 6 Jailbreak
iPad 4 - Although only a minor update over its predecessor, the iPad 4 (4th Gen) offers double the performance thanks to its A6X processor. Based on a similar architecture as the new A6 processor found in Apple’s iPhone 5, the A6X chip brings quad-core graphics. While the A5X chip in the iPad 3 also features quad-core graphics, the new iPad 4 outperforms its predecessor in nearly every way.
Furthermore, Apple added 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity for improved speeds and increased support for a broader range of LTE technology. The new iPad’s FaceTime camera is also capable of recording video in 720p and the standard 30-pin connector has evolved to Apple’s redesigned Lightning connector.
iPad mini - The iPad mini is, as its name would suggest, a smaller version of Apple’s wildly-popular iPad tablet. However, the device’s display doesn’t feature the same high pixel density as it’s full-sized counterpart. The resolution is identical to that of the iPad 2′s display - 1024 x 768 - and because the screen measures at 7.9 inches diagonally (versus the iPad 4′s 9.7-inch display), the iPad mini offers the same aspect ratio as the regular iPad. Powered by Apple’s dual-core A5 processor, the iPad mini is on par with the iPad 2 as far as performance is concerned.
Featuring a 5MP iSight rear-facing camera capable of recording 1080p video and a 1.2MP FaceTime camera that can record in 720p, the iPad mini’s cameras are equivalent to the ones found in the new iPad 4. Moreover, the iPad mini also comes in WiFi + Cellular models that are built with the same 4G LTE technology as the new 4th Gen iPad 4.
As far as an UnTethered iPad 4 and iPad mini iOS 6, 6.0.1 jailbreak is concerned, both the iPhone Dev Team and Chronic Dev Team will need to have the devices readily accessible to both discover and test vulnerabilities. For now, the latest public information regarding the UnTethered iOS 6 jailbreak for the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, 4, 3Gs; iPad 4, 3, 2, iPad mini and both the 4th and 5th Generation iPod touch remains planetbeing’s latest update on the iPhone 5 jailbreak.
