  • Default user agent of Orion and safari on ios is not same

  • BugsMobileDone

The user agent of safari is
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 17_1_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/17.1.1 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1

Whereas the default user agent of Orion on ios is
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 17_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/8616.2.9.10.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/17.1 Mobile/15E148 Safari/8616.2.9.10.11

I do not know whether this is bug or intended, but this would definitely make it stand out.

However, I would suggest keeping it same as safari to reduce chances of using user agent for fingerprinting

    There's a difference in User Agent string between iPhone and iPad Orion 1.34 (2)

    Orion iPhone User Agent: mozilla/5.0 (macintosh; intel mac os x 11_6) applewebkit/605.1.15 (khtml, like gecko) version/15.0 safari/605.1.15

    Orion iPad User Agent: mozilla/5.0 (ipad; cpu os 17_2 like mac os x) applewebkit/605.1.15 (khtml, like gecko) version/17.2 mobile/15e148 safari/8617.1.17.10.9

    Safari iPhone User Agent: mozilla/5.0 (iphone; cpu iphone os 17_2 like mac os x) applewebkit/605.1.15 (khtml, like gecko) version/17.2 mobile/15e148 safari/604.1

    Mac Orion (Sonoma 14.1.2 non-beta): mozilla/5.0 (macintosh; intel mac os x 10_15_7) applewebkit/605.1.15 (khtml, like gecko) version/16.2 safari/605.1.15

    On the iPhone Orion, even if I set a custom User Agent to the 17_2 string, it still reports 11_6.

    Using iOS 17.2 Public Beta on all iOS devices.

    Using this code snippet to retrieve User Agent.

    <p id="demo"></p>

    <script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
navigator.userAgent;
</script>
