Curious iPhone User Agent String

Most likely your seeing the Japanese localized version of an iPod Touch (it uses the same base software as the iPhone and even calls itself an iPhone on certain alerts in error. In this case they both use Mobile Safari that identifies itself as an iPhone regardless - so that pages that are written for the iPhone also work on the iPod Touch, which Im guessing is running an updated version of Safari that iPhone's do not have yet.)

No, I don't think so.

I see many, many iPod user agent strings from Japan.

Well seeing that every iPod Touch has a localized Japanese version were as none of the iPhones for sale do, I highly doubt its from the iPhones that have been shown to the Press that have localized versions on them. Add to that your link to a Japanese translator on your site...

Okay I did a little searching and it must be someone spoofing a user agent or an iPhone....

iPod Touch

iPhone

(Maybe someone at Apple is checking the new software on your site ? Notice that the Touch has the 3A100a aswell as the iPhone you are seeing)

I am an iPhone user.. I think there's a slight difference between the two, I think that the phone from Japan is like a "droid" of the phone from the US.

It has something to do with its settings. The iPhone's settings for a certain country, so that means, for Japan, you would really see texts/settings that denotes japan. This is the same thing for other regions/ countries too.

Now I get it. I have an iPhone 3Gs shipped from Japan and It's locked for Japan. However, I also wonder if the manufacturing of iPhones, as said, happens only in the US?
