It's really all in the User-Agent string, and maybe a few other headers. All browsers have certain quirks that you could look for - but that wouldn't necessarily give away anything secret. The User-Agent string can very easily be cloaked however. Konqueror, for instance, let's you customize it by domain.
Furthermore, I doubt Apple would test it's product on the wide-open web very much. I'm sure it has it's own internal network to test things on, and it's own set of browser rendering tests.
- allenbrunson 17y agoactually, both the iphone 3g and 3gs were first spotted 'in the wild' by people noticing unusual user-agent strings in their webserver logs. seems uncharacteristic of apple, which is normally very secretive about unreleased products, but it happened. i can't find the right search terms to google up supporting evidence, but i remember hearing about this in one of the apple sites i read: ars technica, tauw, etc.
