In a device detection, what would be the user agent for the new iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X?

The User-Agent (UA) string is contained in the HTTP headers and is intended to identify devices requesting online content. The User-Agent string tells the server what the visiting device is (among many other things) and this information can be used to determine what content to return.
A user agent (short: UA) is software that communicates with servers in a network. An example would be a web browser that retrieves a web page from a server on the internet and displays it. The user agent acts as a mediator between the user and the web server just like a human agent.
AppleWebKit/537.36 indicates what browser rendering engine is used. A rendering engine is what transforms HTML into an interactive webpage on the user's screen. The WebKit browser engine was developed by Apple and is primarily used by Safari, Chromium, and all other WebKit-based browsers. (KHTML, like Gecko).
Here is the user agent string for them:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU OS 11_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/604.1.25 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/11.0 Mobile/15A372 Safari/604.1

The iOS 11 firmware model number is 15A372. Here is a user agent from a beta version of iOS 11, which has the AppleWebKit and Safari version number.

As far as I know, user agent for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 plus and iPhone X are same. To detect device we need to check screen size of the device.
iPhone 8 - (750px x 1334px)
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 11_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/604.1.38 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/11.0 Mobile/15A372 Safari/604.1
iPhone 8 Plus - (1242px x 2208px)
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 11_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/604.1.38 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/11.0 Mobile/15A372 Safari/604.1
iPhone X - (1125px x 2436px)
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 11_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/604.1.38 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/11.0 Mobile/15A372 Safari/604.1
