My experience shows that the maximum number of tabs in Safari iOS 10 is 500, it is not unlimited as it was reported by some other sources.
I counted 501 tabs - probably I've made a mistake and it was just 500. Upon reaching it "+" sign faded out not allowing me to add any more tabs before closing at least one tab.

Hi. This may be related to the amount of processor memory (not storage) on the device. Nice to know someone cares.
Out of curiosity, does anyone really use that many tabs? I can understand 10 or 20 tabs. 50-100 is excessive. 500? Really? Nice to know that someone actually has time to tap new tab 500 times. I guess it's a good thing it maxes out at 500. Otherwise you'd still be tapping it right now.
You don't need to tab 500 times. Put 500 links in a folder, and one click will do. 🙂
Is this really a problem for someone?
REALLY?...
what is?
No bro you are right its 501
Same. I also switch back and forth between my MacBook and iPhone and will forget to close the tab in the original device's browsing list when I'm done with it, thus keeping it open on that device.
Do old tabs disappear after a certain amount of time?
Hi Universaltraveler83. I don't believe so. Have you tried it?
Thanks for the information, but does anyone really need to use 500 tabs simultaneously? I wouldn't think so.
