IOS – Is Safari on iPad and iPhone identical

developmentiosmobile-safari

I have an iPad for testing websites I develop but am wondering, does this completely cover me for the same version iOS on a mobile?

And I don't mean roughly, would it be exactly the same code base for Safari regardless of the device (so long as the operating systems were the same)?

It does change rendering. The ipad has much more screen space. If you want to support mobile devices then you should test on various screen sizes. The Javascript should run the same but how the elements are laid out can very.
