iPad 3,1 vs 3,2 vs 3,3

When looking to download the new iPad's 5.1 ipsw file, I noticed you can get one for iPad 3,1 or 3,2 or 3,3. I assume 3,1 is the WiFi only model, but whats he difference between 3,2 and 3,3?

AT&T vs Verizon.

I'm in the UK, so which ipsw should I download?

 

[Kyotoma]

iPad 3,2 if you have an iPad 4G model. 3,1 if it's just WiFi.

iPad 3,2 if you have an iPad 4G model. 3,1 if it's just WiFi.

Many thanks. How did you find that out? I looked everywhere!

I saw 3,2 when I added it to my Good for Enterprise server and I have Verizon iPad

Cool, so how do we know the 3,2 one is the right one for the UK?

Actually, it might not be. The only difference between the two 4G models is the LTE frequencies that they support, both of which are useless in the U.K.. I just assumed that you would get the AT&T 4G model because that is the model you have gotten in the past. The Verizon 4G one will work over there though.

So I could use either ipsw to restore my UK iPad 3?

I would try the AT&T(3,2) one first. If that doesn't work, then use the Verizon(3,3) one.

Actually, in the new TinyUmbrella, it shows my new iPad as "iPad33CDMA 5.1"

Go with the AT&T one. I remember reading that is the version of the iPad that the rest of the world will be getting.

I plugged my iPad into iTunes, clicked "Restore", then looked in ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates and the file iTunes was downloading is called:

"iPad3,3_5.1_9B176_Restore.ipsw"

I'm assuming iTunes knows to grab the correct file, so it looks like the UK iPads are iPad3,3...
