How to redirect all iPhones requests to a different URL?

Question

How can I configure nginx to redirect all requests from users who use an iPhone to a different server? Just iPhones. Not the other iOS devises.

I found the following code but I can't figure out how to regex the iPhone requests.

set $mobile_rewrite do_not_perform;

if ($http_user_agent ~* "???????????") {
  set $mobile_rewrite perform;
}

if ($mobile_rewrite = perform) {
  rewrite ^ http://just_for_iphones.com/ redirect;
  break;
}
