We reported last week that Apple would be releasing the iOS 6.1.2 firmware before February 20th and this is exactly what the fruit company has gone on to do. Only moments ago Apple released iOS 6.1.2 to the masses and it includes bug fixes for the Exchange calendar bug that we previously brought to your attention. This Exchange bug was so bad that AOL had to temporarily disable the ability to manage meetings with Exchange on devices running iOS 6.1. As a result it worked closely with both Apple and Microsoft to come up with a solution.
The update weighs in at about 107 megabytes and can be downloaded over-the-air or through one of the direct links shown further down in this post. For those of you who are Jailbroken on iOS 6.x, do not update to iOS 6.1.2 until we get confirmation from the Evad3rs whether or not Apple patch the Evasi0n exploit.
The iOS 6.1.2 firmware comes with a build number of Build 10B146 for most devices, the only exception being certain models of the iPad that come with a 10B147 build number. You can download iOS 6.1.2 from the direct download links below:
- iPhone 5 GSM
- iPhone 5 CDMA
- iPhone 4S
- iPhone 4 GSM
- iPhone 4 CDMA
- iPhone 3GS
- iPad mini (GSM, CDMA, Wi-Fi)

- iPad 3rd-generation (GSM, CDMA, Wi-Fi)

I have been having problems downloading IOS 6.1.2. Said unable to build request, error 21, error 6. I need this since I was effected by exchange issues & I have 2 accounts i need. UUUGGGGHHHH. Anyone else run into this issue. I did the update thru itunes. It gets to where it’s trying to download to the phone picture of apple & the space below never fills it just stays blank then it aborts & say’s unable to complete request or another stupid error message pops. I was able to get it out of the plug into itunes screen eventually & it went back to my 6.1 software, but it will not load new IOS 6.1.2 for some reason. Very frustrating.
the link of the iphone 5 gsm is downloading iphone5.2_6.1.2 .. and the link of the cdma one is downloading iphone5.1_6.1.2 . they should be vice versa…
i have jailbrake my iphone 5 but i need to conect in to itunes to update my iphone because via AIR doesn’t came out?
Now I’m getting an error that say’s cannot connect to itunes store & I just did a back-up & removed items from my phone. Really strange things going on with this update. It started with my phone showing 2 updates available but it will not let me see what the 2 updates are it just has blank screen. I can select other tabs & the info shows. Maybe I will have to restore again. I still haven’t done the jailbreak so it has something to do with apple not a jailbreak issue.
