[iphone] What is the iPhone 4 user-agent?

Has anyone found the iPhone 4's browser's user-agent string yet?

The answer is


This site seems to keep a complete list that's still maintained

iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad from iOS 2.0 - 5.1.1 (to date).

You do need to assemble the full user-agent string out of the information listed in the page's columns.

...for now


iOS 4.3.2's User Agent, which came out this week, is:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8H7 Safari/6533.18.5


You cannot identify the (hardware) version of an iPhone by user agent.

It's only possible to recognize that it's an iPhone and which software versions it's running.

Using the Safari User Agent String

Not even WURLF can.


Note: The user agent strings from Facebook's internal browser do indicate the actual physical device. Even the cellphone carrier (eg. AT&T)

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 10_3_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/603.3.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/14G60 [FBAN/FBIOS;FBAV/149.0.0.39.64;FBBV/79173879;FBDV/iPhone7,2;FBMD/iPhone;FBSN/iOS;FBSV/10.3.3;FBSS/2;FBCR/AT&T;FBID/phone;FBLC/en_US;FBOP/5;FBRV/0

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 11_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/604.3.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/15B93 [FBAN/FBIOS;FBAV/148.0.0.45.64;FBBV/78032376;FBDV/iPhone10,4;FBMD/iPhone;FBSN/iOS;FBSV/11.1;FBSS/2;FBCR/AT&T;FBID/phone;FBLC/en_US;FBOP/5;FBRV/0]

These won't be the case in Safari or Chrome from iOS - only within the browser inside the Facebook app.

(I'm getting iPhone9 too though - not quite sure what that is!)
