I am not sure Apple can differentiate Apple devices over HTTP except UA header. Maybe they can develop a proprietary streaming protocol but is it worth?

- pedrocr 14y agoThere are probably a bunch of ways of checking with javascript that are much harder to spoof than the UA.
- hmert 14y agoI am not sure related native iOS streaming libraries integrate JavaScript security just to protect iTunes previews.
- w1ntermute 14y agoThat could be easily updated if necessary. Moreover, it's entirely possible that there are dormant APIs precisely in case this sort of thing happened.
- jcfrei 14y agoyes, for example with device fingerprinting. the Electronic Frontier Foundation has a nice test page online: https://panopticlick.eff.org/ https://panopticlick.eff.org/ however apple could apply a much simpler filter by checking whether the screen size fits the exact specs of their iphones / ipods and ban any other devices. then again, you might always access the source directly, circumventing the need for js entirely.
