Hah - ignore this - I forgot to edit it when I realized 'the platform' 
returns iPhone (its the machine which distinguishes between iPad and 
iPhone).

Whether to do it for all web-requests then I'm not sure - this is 
twitter.com related thing as far as I can see.

It shouldn't do any harm to use the same useragent for all requests 
though (although you might want to check if iPad latest iOS from Safari 
is different from iPhone latest from Safari and switch on the machine if 
so).

I'd recommend removing this mitigation if/when twitter.com starts 
behaving normally again though as you don't want to have to keep that up 
to date lest it cause problems for other websites.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
