iOS Smart App Banners - showing on iPad, not on iPhone

Question

As I'm not using the affilate stuff, I implemented the Smart App Banner on my website like this:

<meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=...">

On my iPad Mini (iOS 7.0.2) it's showing up without any problem, on my iPhone 5 (same version) it's not showing up.

Both got the app installed already (the banner should show "Open").

Do you know what could be wrong? Thank you!

Oops, it didn't save the code example. There's no condition as both are intended to show the banner, but only the iPad does. — Frank Adler, Oct 01 '13 at 07:43
Are you certain you haven't visited that site earlier with your iPhone and closed the Smart App Banner? Try clearing cache / website data from settings. — Samuli Hakoniemi, Oct 01 '13 at 07:56
I tried, but still it's not showing up. The page and app are completely new, I never canceled the banner for it — Frank Adler, Oct 01 '13 at 08:15
I'm encountering with the same problem only I can see the banner in IPhones but in IPads I can't see it not- it used to work... — Tomer Peled, Oct 02 '13 at 15:01
nope... but it's working now, without me doing anything about it. — Frank Adler, Nov 28 '13 at 08:24
It seems to me that, once closed, the banner will never show up again. Or at least for some time... Which I don't know =/ — Cesar Castro, Jan 22 '14 at 13:23
That's true but it's intended. Once you closed that banner on an iOS device, you won't see it again on that device — Frank Adler, Mar 12 '14 at 13:29

please don't post the same answer to several questions - they either don't fit exactly or the question is a duplicate and should be flagged as such – kleopatra Apr 30 '14 at 16:59
@kleopatra never knew about the flag, apologies and thank you! – jahrichie Apr 30 '14 at 21:39
