How do I check if the useragent is an ipad or iphone?
UPDATE on 17-07-2020: it looks like Apple removed the word iPad
and now use Macintosh
instead
UPDATE:
Since the iPad user agent contains the word iPhone
as @Rob Hruska mentioned:
Mozilla/5.0(iPad; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B314 Safari/531.21.10
and iPhone user agent is something like this:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Mobile/8A293 Safari/6531.22.7
it would be correct to check for the word iPhone;
or iPad;
to identify the device:
var userAgent = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent.ToLower();
if (userAgent.Contains("iphone;"))
{
// iPhone
}
else if (userAgent.Contains("ipad;") || userAgent.Contains("macintosh;"))
{
// iPad
}
else
{
// Think Different ;)
}
For iPad user agent is something like:
Mozilla/5.0(iPad; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B314 Safari/531.21.10
and for iPhone its somthing like:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3
Any many more depending on the version and wheather its iPhone 3 or 4
so better just do a substring search for iPhone and iPad as suggested by another answer
