How to check if device is Ipad mini [duplicate]

Answer 1

This answer contains a link to an utility method to get a "platform string" that can be used to identify the various iOS devices. I copy the main method here for your convenience:

#include 
#include 

- (NSString *) platform {
    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);
    return platform;
}

According to Models - The iPhone Wiki, the return value of platform is one of

• iPad2,5
• iPad2,6
• iPad2,7

for an iPad mini.
