Know that something of the above type is possible with SharePoint 2013.
The below article give sus a quick glimpse into how that is possible.

Device channels are available only for SharePoint 2013 publishing sites.

There exists Device channels that help us target our SharePoint data/image towards a
particular device etc.

using the same we can specify which master page will be used for  rendering content
in which mobile OS.
Say , we can target the Windows7.5 from one channel(Channel1)  and then
Anroid on (Channel2)  and Apple on (Channel3). Also specify which master page will nbe used where.

The Agent substring will specify the make/os for the devices being targeted.

A device channel panel is a container that can be used on a master page or page layout when you want specific content to render based on the alias of a given device channel, or set of channels. For example, you may have a web part or control that you want revealed only on the desktop view of the site, and not on any mobile device. The device channel panel can enable you to encapsulate this web part in code, and enable you to render it only through a designated device channel. A major benefit of device channel panels over using Display:None in a CSS class is that the content inside a device channel panel is not rendered at all on the non-specified channels. Also, device channel panels can be used to reduce the rendered size of a page for devices by eliminating bulky content. This provides a way to increase site responsiveness on bandwidth-constrained devices.

Site settings or site master page settings lets you specify which master page to pick.
