You can add all of our new dimensions to your analyses. One of the main advantages of these new dimensions is the new level of granularity offered, meaning that you can distinguish from a visit from a Safari visit from an iPad and one from an iPhone, as well as the exact version of Safari being used. The newly separated dimensions mean you can also filter more precisely, such as looking for a particular minor version or grouping together a number of major versions.
This overview includes the names of the new dimensions, example values. We have also added the fields to getFullVisitors in Raw Data Exports, as well as to the Device (new). Browser, Operating System, and Platform tables in Data Streams.
