Apple has quietly updated the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 4 to support the newewst Bluetooth version 4.2. While Apple hasn't publicly announced support for Bluetooth 4.2 in the devices, it did update its product comparison pages to show that some of its devices have been modified to support the latest version of the wireless standard.

Both new iPhones and the recently launched iPad Pro ship with Bluetooth 4.2 while the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus shipped with Bluetooth 4.0. Apple's updated iPhone comparison page suggest that the newest iPhones have Bluetooth 4.2.

The iPad comparison page now indicates that the iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 4 have Bluetooth 4.2 while the iPad Air and iPad mini 2 remain on Bluetooth 4.0. The move to the newer version could offer several benefits, most notably data transfers at 2.5 times faster than previous versions, meaning speedier over-the-air firmware updates.
