Need iPhone testing

Does any of our regular users happen to own or have access to an iPhone for some quick testing? It's been two weeks since I added Javascript logging, and the logs are now filled with 147 errors, about 75% of which appear to be from iPhones. They have messages like 'ReferenceError: Can''t find variable: MyIPhoneApp_ModifyShowModelessDialog' and 'QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR: DOM Exception 22: An attempt was made to add something to storage that exceeded the quota.'
I have no idea what these mean, but I do know that whenever an error is recorded in the database, it was a fatal error that prevents the user from doing anything else on that page. If these errors appear on all iPhones, then there is a segment of users who effectively can't use the site.
If someone has access to an iPhone and can take a look at the site to confirm it works, I would much appreciate it. The "quota_exceeded_err" sounds like the phone is out of memory or something, which might mean these errors only occur on old model iPhones. If that's the case, too much time would be needed to solve a problem that will eventually go away. But if it affects current iPhones, like 4th and 5th generation ones, then it needs to be addressed.
