I want to have an http_access that checks to see if the request is coming from iPhone and allow access. I know the User Agent can be changed but this is a small start.

    Sure you can. The 'browser' ACL matches exclusively on User-Agent
request header and req_header ACl type can be used to match any other
request header, if that's the case.

# acl aclname browser [-i] regexp ...
# # pattern match on User-Agent header (see also req_header below)

# acl aclname req_header header-name [-i] any\.regex\.here
# # regex match against any of the known request headers. May be
# # thought of as a superset of "browser", "referer" and "mime-type"
# # ACLs.

    probably something like:

acl iphone browser -i Apple-iPhone

    and using that correctly on your http_access rules would do the job.
Keep in mind that if any other user forges the User-Agent header, which
is easily done by the way, your rules would allow those requests.
There's no way to have sure we're really dealing with an iPhone here.
