Not touch screen. Rather screen resolution.
Check out the .NET framework and look under System.Web.Pages.Request.Browser. You will see what I am referring to right there. There is an array of things to capture.
If OS == "iOS" && ScreenSize => "1024X768" Then
It is an iPad and not an iPhone.

Reminder that "touch" isn't purely a mobile/tablet input mechanism.
There are in fact many hybrid/two-in-one laptops with touchscreens, and even standalone touchscreens for desktop computers.
Also, a reminder that you can't really detect touchscreens - https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/04/detecting-touch-its-the-why-not-the-how/
Related: is "explore by touch" really such a great concern? I always thought this was more of a navigation of last resort for blind/VI touchscreen users, when using swipe (with the different modes for also navigating directly to headings, landmarks, etc) wasn't working all that well.
