Can Not Detect iPadOS 13+

So the people at Apple are bad bad people and made it much more difficult to detect iPad OS

iPad OS Safari

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.0 Safari/605.1.15

MacOS Safari

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.100 Safari/537.36

There are three major sniffable differences as best I can tell - ordered by seemingly most to least important.

• The Mac OS X version includes 3 places in macOS but only two places in iOS
• iPad OS does not claim to be chrome
• The version of AppleWebKit in macOS only has two places rather than 3

While I don't normally support meddling with this kind of UA shenanigans, iPadOS seems important enough to bother.

I stand corrected, the sniffable differences were removed in iPad OS 14… I was running 13 in the simulator.

iPadOS:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.0.1 Safari/605.1.15

Safari on Big Sur:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.0.1 Safari/605.1.15

They're binary the same.
