pasting my comment from the other thread to make this thread meaningful.

There does not seem to be a straight forward way to do this.

But apple IOS seems to be utilizing the characteristic, Manufacture String name (2A29) inside Device information service (180A).

You can start to see if different OS BLE variants have utilized this service. Do not see any other proper way to differentiate other than the one mentioned."

"looks like a genuine usecase, but I am not aware of any native BLE tricks to figure this out, I will try to do a bit more research on this on Monday to see if we can come out with some nice way to deal with this."
