html.elements.input.type_file - iOS doesn't implement "accept" with file extensions

[rotu]

What type of issue is this?

Incorrect support data (example: BrowserX says "86" but support was added in "40")

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

This page specifies that the "accept" attribute may contain file extensions as file type specifiers. This does not seem to work on iOS.

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

No response

What did you expect to see?

I expect to see "partial support" instead of "full support" in the Browser compatibility matrix.

Did you test this? If so, how?

Opening up a webpage with an input element and noticing that the files were not filtered.

Can you link to any release notes, bugs, pull requests, or MDN pages related to this?

@rotu Thanks for reporting. Can you add what device and Safari iOS version you tested with? Did you reproduce the issue with this example on the MDN page?
