what version of safari is the iphone os using? (as of 12/14/2009)

Question

What version of Safari is on the iphone now? Is it Safari 4? Safari 3? 2? Something in between? In other words, when I'm writing code for the iphone, which version of Safari for the pc/mac will be the most accurate version to test it with?

I think I've already run into a case where the canvas tag is handled differently on the iphone than it is in safari 4. (specifically the fillText javascript cmd doesn't seem to work).

Solution 1

Point your iPhone here, the link provided by Neil doesn't seem to be working for me. Link

Update. I accessed the website with my itouch and this is the response:

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (ipod: U;CPU iPhone OS 2_2 like Mac OS X: es_es) AppleWebKit/525.18.1
Browser Name/Version: M_webkit/3.1.1

So I'm assuming it's safari 3.1.1

Solution 2

You can check the version of Safari or any web browser on an iPhone/iPad, quickly and easily, by entering one short script into the address bar.
