Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 [attachment:20410.patch] is the first attempt:

 1. Improves iPhone/iPad detection so that it doesn't catch other mobile
 Safari devices.
 2. Introduces `_device_can_upload()` and leverages it where appropriate.
 3. Hooks in via `map_meta_cap()` for `upload_files`.

 However I've noticed that point 3 blocks access to Media Library, making
 it impossible to browse the files uploaded earlier.

 [attachment:20410.2.patch] contains points 1 and 2.
