Since the WURFL User-Agent Database went commercial there seems to be no public central database for browser user agents. Since i do not own an Iphone4 mayself it would be really helpful if someone could answer me this easy question and/or point me to a WURFL alternative :)
So - what is the User-Agent string of the IPhone 4s? Is it any different from the IPhone4 version?

The User-Agent tells the server what the visiting device is (among many other things) and this information can be used to determine what content to return. Of course this requires using a device detection solution which translates UAs into understandable software and hardware information.
The user-agent header. As mentioned in our overview of HTTP requeset headers, the user-agent header specifies information about the browser or robot that made the request. Here are some examples of user-agent strings: 1. Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) 2.
Apple User Agents do not expose the hardware version, so you can only guess the iPhone version by the OS version, for example, if it's running iOS 5, it must be an iPhone 4 or 4S. In fact, it's even very hard (perhaps impossible) to distinguish between iPhone 4 and 4S from native apps.
Anyway, the other answer is incorrect, that UA must be from an iPhone 3, 3GS or a really outdated iPhone 4, but it cannot be from a 4S because the 4S shipped with iOS 5. Here's a selection of iPhone 4/4S UAs I've seen today:
