Detecting iPhone 6/6+ screen sizes in point values

Question

Given the newly announced iPhone 6 screen sizes:

iPhone 6: 1334h * 750w @2x (in points: 667h * 375w)
iPhone 6+: 1920 * 1080 @3x (in points: 640h * 360w)


        

Answer 1

Check the updated list on wiki , there I got 7,2 for iPhone 6 and 7,1 for iPhone 6 plus.

Answer 2

An interesting thing to remember when reading screen sizes on my iPhone 6 Plus was that when you have it set to "Zoomed" mode it will show up as a the iPhone 6 height (667) and when you have it set to "Standard" it will show up as (736). Shouldn't really matter, but if you specifically wanted to know the device type for some reason ( Maybe Reporting ), this could fool you.

See this.

Answer 3

If you prefer macros here are the ones, that you can use to differentiate between the iPhone models. These are based on the point values.

#define IS_IPHONE_4 (fabs((double)[[UIScreen mainScreen]bounds].size.height - (double)480) < DBL_EPSILON)
#define IS_IPHONE_5 (fabs((double)[[UIScreen mainScreen]bounds].size.height - (double)568) < DBL_EPSILON)
#define IS_IPHONE_6 (fabs((double)[[UIScreen mainScreen]bounds].size.height - (double)667) < DBL_EPSILON)
#define IS_IPHONE_6_PLUS (fabs((double)[[UIScreen mainScreen]bounds].size.height - (double)736) < DBL_EPSILON)

Answer 4

This is what I use in my app with iOS 8:

window=[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] firstObject];

NSLog(@"screenHeight=%f width=%f",window.frame.size.height,window.frame.size.width);

if (window.frame.size.height == 480) {

        do stuff here... 
    }

Prior to Xcode6 / iOS 8, I used this, but screen bounds does not work properly with the resizable simulator or at least it didn't in the Xcode6 betas...

CGRect screenBounds=[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];

if (screenBounds.size.height >= 568) {

do stuff here...

}
