Reply to Web Push and Push notifications
The difference is that you don't need any Developer account or APNS Certificates to use the Web Push API, which has always been the case for desktop Notifications as well as iOS Push Notifications. When they say it's "really" push, they mean they're switching to the open standard 'Web Push API' which Chrome and Firefox etc. have been using for a while. You can then set up a nodeJS server (or equivalent) to send out alert notifications to (almost) any browser. (Once macOS Ventura comes out with Safari 16).

Reply to User Agent in Safari on iPadOS
This is still an issue. Yes, the Desktop settings workaround does help get a sensible userAgent, but nobody on a large iPad is ever going to set that. The main issue I have is that I'm developing an HTML5 Audio player where we want to hide our volume control interface when the device is an iPhone or iPad, since there is no way to control HTML5 Audio volume property via Javascript on these devices. Does anyone have a sane solution to this?
