IS MOBILE behaviour

Somebody can confirm if the new "is mobile" test will detect an iPad 2 as a mobile device or "is mobile" works only for Android and iOS smartphones?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes it detects Android and iOS, which includes the iPad.

Hi,

my iPad Air (Retina) from Sept. 2014 is detected as mobile.

Thanks Martin. Any chance to be able to test specifically for tablets (the size matters here, not just the operating system).

Hi,

yes I did it with the logicblock:

mobile = true AND
screenwidth > 800 (for my purpose, maybe you have to adapt the needed size)

Important is the AND

Hi Guys,
Christian has hit it on the head, the Is Mobile detects iOS, Android and IEM, then you can look at the logical screen size.
Example:
Is Mobile and then screen Width = 667 AND screen height = 375 would be iPhone 6 landscape.
Is Mobile and then screen Width = 375 AND screen height = 667 would be iPhone 6 portrait.

Is Mobile and then screen Width = 1024 AND screen height = 768 would be iPad landscape.
Is Mobile and then screen Width = 768 AND screen height = 1024 would be iPad portrait.

But I think just working with width would just just as good, using both width and height means you can almost target a device.
