iPhone's Browser's User Agent

Jul 9, 01:34 PM

If like me you've been wondering if any of the jesusphone people are lookin at your site on their strangely-crippled versions of Safari, it seems that there is no consensus on precisely which user-agent the iPhone is identifying itself as. Matt Cutts says it self-identifies as:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3

But elsewhere the guidance is that screen resolution reports in Google Analytics is the best/easiest way to ferret-out the iPhone traffic on yr site. Hmm...
