Detect iPod or Iphone using javascript?

Question

I have a scenario in which I need to detect whether the device is an iPod or iPhone. navigator.userAgent/navigator.platform doesn't have device information.

Answer 1

Here is what I use to detect iOS devices:

function is_little_ithing() {
    return (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPod') > -1 ||
    navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPhone') > -1);
}

function is_big_ithing() {
    return (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPad') > -1);
}

function is_ithing() {
    return (is_little_ithing() || is_big_ithing());
}
