Be careful of Windows phones! For some weird reason lots of Windows phones say "like iPhone" in the user agent. So you want to check:

public bool IsIPhone
{
    get
    {
        if (!UserAgent.ToUpper().Contains("LIKE IPHONE"))
        {
            return UserAgent.ToUpper().Contains("IPHONE");
        }
        return false;
    }
}

Example Windows phone user agent (from Lumia 735):

"Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; Windows Phone 8.1; Android 4.0; ARM; Trident/7.0; Touch; rv:11.0; IEMobile/11.0; NOKIA; Lumia 735) like iPhone OS 7_0_3 Mac OS X AppleWebKit/537 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile Safari/537"
