One of the brilliant things about safari on the iPhone (i give credit where credit is due) is that it renders full web pages by default. You would have to manually point to a sites wap site to register a hit from the iPhone version of Safari. I think that I am inclined to agree on MacVicta on this one.

These are sites geared toward WAP browsers and small screened handsets like Razrs. Even devices with so called full HTML browsers make use of the mobile web out of necessity due to weak page rendering and low data speeds.iPhone users, however, are able to take advantage of the full internet and have no need for kiddie websites (like the one pictured on the BlackBerry above in this article).So while it barely registers a blip on AdMob's radar, you can look to trackers such as StatCounter who specialize in the real internet where the big boys play. Just a couple of days ago they stated the iPhone's Safari browser to be #1 in the United States for mobile devices and #2 in the UK behind Nokia.http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/03/18/iphones_safari_already_the_no_1_us_mobile_browser_says_firm.htmlAnd NetApplications released stats late last year that showed iPhone browsing in North America only bested by actual computer users (the BlackBerry was nowhere to be found).http://blogs.computerworld.com/iphone_browsing_marketshare_closes_in_on_1I don't see AdMob's figures as a sign of flattening on the iPhone's behalf.
