iPhone Uses Old Version of Safari?

So a guy who authored a third-party app for the iPhone checks his web log and sees visitors that are using the iPhone. By doing further digging, he thinks he learns more about some specs used on the iPhone.

The author of Gas.App for Safari checked his web logs and noticed the iPhone users were running Safari 419.3 (the older version of Safari), viewing on a 320x396 pixel screen and does not have Flash support.

It is unclear why the iPhones are not running the new Safari 3.0 Beta. Could it be that only the pre-released iPhones out there in the wild are running old versions and the major release will be more current?

  1. The reason may very well be that, like me, people without an actual iPhone are trying the gas app in Safari on their Macs and not their iPhones. I like the app. It nicer and more informative than the gas widget I have. I’m currently running Version 2.0.4 (419.3) on 10.3.9. The iPhone apps work on a regular version of Safari. I was curious to see what the iPhone apps might look like.

  2. I don’t think this means what you think it means.  One shouldn’t be taking version numbers from a useragent as gospel.
