Comment (by chrisvanpatten):

 Safari on the iPad now registers itself as a desktop browser in its user
 agent, so I'm not sure it's possible to detect that it's actually Safari
 on iPad.

 I'm also not sure it would be advisable — the idea behind the change is to
 bring parity between Safari on Desktop and Safari on Mac, in terms of
 functionality. As such, classifying it as a mobile browser might not be
 the most accurate classification anymore.
