_constants.IS_IOS not working

[nathnolt]

I'm using an IPAD 9th generation, on OS 17.2,

The current detection for IOS and IPAD roughtly looks like this:

var UA = window.navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase()
var IS_IOS = /ipad|iphone|ipod/i.test(UA) && !window.MSStream;
var IS_IPAD = /ipad/i.test(UA) && !window.MSStream;

My device says that it's false.

Lookin on the internet resolves to stackoverflow ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9038625/detect-if-device-is-ios )
They propose the following solution:

function iOS() {
  return [
    'iPad Simulator',
    'iPhone Simulator',
    'iPod Simulator',
    'iPad',
    'iPhone',
    'iPod'
  ].includes(navigator.platform)
  // iPad on iOS 13 detection
  || (navigator.userAgent.includes("Mac") && "ontouchend" in document)
}

This solution does appear to work (on the device I own). And as it has a lot of upvotes, I'm going to assume that it must work quite well.
