See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6903457/is-the-onbeforeunload-event-not-supported-on-iphone

Look into workarounds for persisting on refresh. (this suggests maybe pagehide?)

iOS appears to in theory support onbeforeunload now:
https://caniuse.com/mdn-api_beforeunloadevent https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/beforeunload_event

But I'm seeing conflicting reports that it either doesn't fire at all, or doesn't work as expected. I will test this on an actual iOS device to confirm.
