This is what I don't really get about "request desktop site" or this kind of announcement... I don't know the last site I saw that serves different layouts based on browser agent, it's all based on screen size and resolution. Unless Apple is spoofing a higher resolution on an iPad, I don't see what will change.
That being said, on Bootstrap (and Bootstrap-like sites) turning the 2018 base model iPad on its side will give you a col-md layout which is usually enough to trigger the desktop size.

- freehunter 7y agoWill the new desktop site mode actually enable Safari features that mobile Safari does not support? I can actually name a few sites that don't work in mobile Safari because the browser doesn't support features those apps need (AWS Cloud 9 is one) but I don't think just requesting a desktop site would actually make those sites usable.
