I know this issue is caused by Apple's iPad Pro now identifying itself as a "desktop-class browser", but I think it is still good if we can somehow identify it apart from the other desktop browsers.

Currently, there's no way to detect it. You can extend the detection mechanism of mobile-detect and use other criteria (maybe Modernizr touch, ...).

I leave this issue open since nobody reads closed issues and this issue will be duplicated every week or so.

I've just started using this:

const isNewIpad =
  window.navigator.userAgent.match(/Mac/) &&
  window.navigator.maxTouchPoints &&
  window.navigator.maxTouchPoints > 2;

I got it from here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58017456/4224679

Is there still no fix to this? :(
