Honestly, if I recall correctly, the iPhone 5, iPad mini and 4th gen iPad are all using the same WiFi chip so if there was a bug on the iPad mini and the iPhone 5, it probably was in the 4th gen iPad, right?
Got a tip for us?

Why is there no iOS 6.0.2 for the 4th gen iPad?

could be that, i would assume it has to do something with the size, but I am not sure if they actually do use the same chips, that would be worth checking.
Maybe the update is still in the oven, who knows

There was a software issue that affected the iPhone 5 and iPad mini only, thats why.
Yeah. I know that. But since all three devices are using the same WiFi chip and so, probably the same software that goes with it, I was wondering why it has been excluded.

It was a bug fix update.
Common sense would suggest that apparently the iPad 4 must not have required any bug fixes.
If you own an iPad 4 you should be thankful it apparently has no issues that needed to be fixed.

The iPhone 5 and Mini use the same antenna structure, which in combination with a glitch in the WiFi chip's firmware, was causing the issue. The full size ipad uses a completely different antenna, which didn't "clash" with the bug in the Chip's Firmware.

Here's the real question: are YOU experiencing problems with WiFi on the 4th Gen iPad?
Thanks, that's what I wanted to know.
No but I wasn't having problems with my iPhone 5 neither
