Mobile Safari on iPhone and iPad will take up 5 MB before QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR when using localStorage. If you use HTML5 SQL, the user will be prompted to increase the storage limit at intervals of 5 MB.
Desktop Safari v4 has no local storage restrictions. However, Safari v5 limits the site to 5 MB before QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR , showing the same behavior as the mobile version.
