You will have to create a new mobile layout, and change the layout depending on what type of device the user is accessing the site from.

So inside your app_controller.php you have to add the RequestHandler component to the $components property array, then with the beforeFilter function you could use something like this.

function beforeFilter() {
    if ($this->RequestHandler->isMobile()) {
        $this->layout = 'mobile_layout';
    }
}

Stoosh is correct.

Rather than creating a new layout in CakePHP you could use CSS media queries to supply sensible styles for mobile.

@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
    /* Iphone styles go here */
}

This will allow the browser to select the best styles to use regardless of device type.
