Based on the answers of this question you could determined which model your are using by this:

NSString *deviceModel = [UIDevice currentDevice].model;

Results can be one of the values: iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, iPhone Simulator, iPad Simulator

For specific model which version you are using could be determined by creating a Category on UIDevice.h class like this:

UIDevice+Utilities.h

#import 

@interface UIDevice (Utilities)

- (CGFloat)deviceModelVersion;

@end

UIDevice+Utilities.m

#import "UIDevice+Utilities.h"
#include 
#include 

@implementation UIDevice (Utilities)

- (CGFloat)deviceModelVersion
{
    size_t size;
    sysctlbyname("hw.machine", NULL, &size, NULL, 0);
    char *machine = malloc(size);
    sysctlbyname("hw.machine", machine, &size, NULL, 0);
    NSString *platform = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:machine];
    free(machine);

    if ([platform rangeOfString:@"iPhone"].location != NSNotFound)
    {
        return [[[platform stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"iPhone" withString:@""] stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"," withString:@"."] floatValue];
    }
    else if ([platform rangeOfString:@"iPad"].location != NSNotFound)
    {
        return [[[platform stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"iPad" withString:@""] stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"," withString:@"."] floatValue];
    }
    else if ([platform rangeOfString:@"iPod"].location != NSNotFound)
    {
        return [[[platform stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"iPod" withString:@""] stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"," withString:@"."] floatValue];
    }
    else if ([platform rangeOfString:@"i386"].location != NSNotFound || [platform rangeOfString:@"x86_64"].location != NSNotFound)
    {
        return -1.0; //Currently it is not possible (or maybe it is, but I do not know)
                     //which type of simulator device model version your app is running
                     //so I am returning -1.0 device model version for all simulators types
    }

    return 0.0;
}

@end

Example how to call function deviceModelVersion:

CGFloat deviceModelVersion = [UIDevice currentDevice].deviceModelVersion;

Possible results could be 1.0, 1.1, ..., 2.0, 2.1, ..., 3.0, 3.1, .., 4.0, 4.1, .., 5.0, 5.1, ...

To determine if it is iPhone 5, you would have

deviceModel : "iPhone" 

and

deviceModelVersion : >=5.0 and < 6.0
