Could be a great prank, responding to the JS required to detect the resolution and sending a fake header are all easy enough, right? :D

- ck2 15y agoThis is a great idea for a free web service. Select/Insert user-agent and use cloud farms to hit a website randomly with it.
- funkah 15y agoYep, it is advised to never trust client-side input for a reason.
- aaronpk 15y agoThey did say that the iOS 6 requests were coming from Apple-owned IP addresses. The screen resolution was not tied to the IP addresses because it showed up in Google Analytics.

- Cushman 15y agoHypothetically, say I'm an Apple employee who plays a prank on a tech website whereby I raise expectations for the product we launch in a week above reality. How long should I expect to keep my job for?
- Bud 15y agoDepends who told you to do it and who set up your device.
- underwater 15y agoIf this is a prank it's not a very good one: 1. If there is a retina-display iPad 3 then they're faking something that actually exists. 2. If there isn't then they're setting up the unreleased product to not meet expectations.
