copied!<p>I understand this might be a bit low-tech solution, but since we can't seem to come up with anything else yet..</p> <p>I am assuming you already check for most of the other devices, so I see the following scenarios possible.</p> <p>You could check for ALL the possible most popular devices that require special CSS/sizing, and if it matches none of those either assume it's an iPad mini or simply ask the user?</p> <pre><code>// Device checks here ... else { // it would probably be better to make this a nicer popup-thing var mini = prompt("Are you using a iPad mini? Press yes for a better user experience"); // Store the result for future visits somehow. } </code></pre> <p>I know that might seem like a stupid approach right now, but if we currently have no way of deciding if the device is a iPad mini or an iPad 2 at least the website will be usable with iPad mini devices doing something like this.</p> <p>You could even go with something like this:</p> <p>"To give you the best possible browsing experience we try to detect your device-type to customise the website to your device. Unfortunately due to limitations this is not always possible and we can't currently determine if you use an iPad 2 or an iPad mini by using these methods.</p> <p>For the best possible browsing experience, please select what device you are using below.</p> <p>This choice will be stored for future visits to the website on this device.</p> <pre><code>[] iPad 2 [*] iPad mini [] Ancient blackberry device </code></pre> <p>"</p> <p>I am not entirely familiar with what you can and can't do client-side in Javascript. I know you can get a user's IP, but is it possible to get a user's mac address? Are those ranges different between iPad2's and iPad mini's?</p>
