The current 'quirks' for Apple products is "All devices return iPhone as the platform. This is inaccurate because Apple has rebranded the iPhone operating system as iOS."

This is misleading, when using iPods/iPads it returns iPod touch or iPad. Might be better worded as "All devices return their name (such as the iPhone returns 'iPhone')".
