I picked up a 12th Gen Paperwhite at Staples but it has the yellow band at the bottom of the screen. I'd like to order one from Target to replace it but I'm concerned that it will come with 5.18.6 which won't let me jailbreak it. So I'm wondering if anyone has received a 12th Gen from Target lately and if they could share the firmware version. Thanks in advance if you can share a version.
