Same for iPad Pro/Air

I did some research and discovered that there is a new class of "desktop class" browsers and they don't want to be categorized as tablets and identify themselves as desktop devices and it becomes very difficult to distinguish them.

To handle this, we can use navigator.maxTouchPointers as an additional criterion to detect tablets.

Sounds like gender nowadays.
