🌏 Today's Discovery: What has changed with iOS 17

Apple iOS 17 deviates from the past User-Agent pattern. From the iOS 17 preview, we can see the “Mac OS X” version is now frozen at 10_15_7.

This part of the User-Agent string can no longer be used to help detect the Apple device if it is in desktop mode. Instead, we must look to the “Version/” information in the string.

The User-Agent alone cannot be relied upon for Apple device detection. We use JavaScript to enhance the detection results. We also test iOS updates on actual iPhones, so there’s no chance for fake or assumed data. All of this results in increased Apple iPhone device detection accuracy.

this explains why testing deeplink redirection on a simulated or emulated iOS environment may result in cases not being caught properly
