Hello,

Tomasz had spotted this IMHO dubious feature during the early beta phase
of 13.1.

I had installed iPadOS Beta 2 (but not before) and for me the User-Agent
remained the iPad one.

We were hoping that the User-Agent switch was only toggled in an early
beta and carried over for Tomasz, while new installs would be a real
iPad again.

So, can I ask you: was the particular device you are seeing this on
enrolled in the Beta program fairly early on maybe? If so, is this
behaviour reproducible on devices which were not part of the Beta programme?

Greetings,

Stefan
