user agent checking for ios6

I am trying to check whether client opening the page is using iOS6 or not.

var startIndex = navigator.userAgent.search(/OS/i) + 2;
    var endIndex = navigator.userAgent.search(/like/i);
    var iOSVersion = parseInt(navigator.userAgent.substr(startIndex,endIndex - startIndex).trim());
    this.iOSVersion = true;

    if(!isNaN(iOSVersion)){
        this.iOSVersion = iOSVersion;
    }
    else if(Ext.is.Desktop){
        this.iOSVersion = true;
    }

The above code works well for all the versions of browsers.

But incase of using it in iOS6, it shows as iOS5. Searched for the same thing, but I didn't find a solution. May be I am still not done with searching for this, doing side by side search and hoping if some one has faced this issue before.

Any suggestions or updations?

This should work now in iOS 6 GM seed and the following regex could detect both iPhone/iPad with iOS6:

/OS (\w+) like Mac OS/i.exec(navigator.userAgent)
