iphone - Determining the maximum number of simultaneous touches possible on an iOS device?

Question

Is there a way to find out the maximum number of simultaneous touches on an iOS device (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) ? I've read here and there that iPhone can handle 5 while the iPad can handle 11, but I haven't found an official way (through a function call, say) to confirm this.

By testing it! See here for videos and source: http://mattgemmell.com/2010/05/09/ipad-multi-touch

There's no public API to request that information from the hardware.
