browser detection for iPhone 4

Is there a reliable way to detect iPhone 4 (as opposed to iPhone 3 or iPad)? extra points if you can do it with .browser files or WURFL

You haven't specified why you want to do browser detection, but the standard reason is because certain browsers or versions don't support a given feature that you want to use.

If that's the case, have you considered feature detection instead? A tool like Modernizr should be able to help with that.

[EDIT] If all you want to do is measure the screen resolution, you can use screen.width and screen.height in Javascript.

Hope that helps.

Checkout 51degress.mobi on codeplex. It is active and I have had good experience with it in past.

There is another codeplex project too but its no longer active: Mobile Device Browser File

To detect iPhone 4 specifically, use:

string strUserAgent = Request.UserAgent.ToString().ToLower();
if (Request.Browser.IsMobileDevice == true && strUserAgent.Contains("iphone OS 4")) 
{
    // code for iPhone 4
}

iPhone user agents look like (n stands for version like 4_3_3)

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_n_n like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Mobile/8A293 Safari/6531.22.7
