What is the iPad user agent

Question

From what I gather  the iPad is using iPhone OS  but with a different screen resolution from the iPhone and iPod touch  So many sites may have to change their user agent detection to adapt to the iPad   So  can anyone with access to the iPad or the iPad SDK give us the user-agent string

almost 10 years later      From iOS 13 the iPad s user agent has changed to Mac OS  for example      Mozilla 5 0  Macintosh  Intel Mac OS X 10 15  AppleWebKit 605 1 15  KHTML  like Gecko  Version 13 0 Safari 605 1 15

I think it is worth mentioning that you don t generally need to use the whole agent string  unless perhaps you find a reason where you need to tailor the website to a specific model   You can check for iPhone  iPad and iPod in the agent string and cover all your bases   if  navigator userAgent match  iPhone i       navigator userAgent match  iPod i       navigator userAgent match  iPad i          appleMobileDevice   true    else       appleMobileDevice   false

It seems to be general consensus that every mobile apple device  iphone  ipad  or ipod uses a user agent that contains both  Mobile  and  Safari    However  using the latest SDK  4 0 1  and reading the user agent on my rails server  using request env  HTTP USER AGENT     we never get the  Safari  part    No matter whether the request is being made from the simulator or a real device  debug or release  it always looks something like this      Mozilla 5 0  iPhone  U  CPU iPhone OS 3 1 2 like Mac OS X  de-de    AppleWebKit 528 18  KHTML  like Gecko  Mobile 7D11    Just no  Safari    -  So we have to use the  iPhone  part to be sure  That is something apple does not recommend doing

It s worth noting that when running in web-app mode  using the apple-mobile-web-app-capable meta tag  the user agent changes from      Mozilla 5 0  iPad  U  CPU OS 3 2 1   like Mac OS X  en-us    AppleWebKit 531 21 10  KHTML  like   Gecko  Version 4 0 4 Mobile 7B405   Safari 531 21 10   to      Mozilla 5 0  iPad  U  CPU OS 3 2 1   like Mac OS X  en-us    AppleWebKit 531 21 10  KHTML  like   Gecko  Mobile 7B405
