Detect the specific iPhone/iPod touch model [duplicate]

Answer 1

Most complete UIDevice (Hardware) category probably is http://github.com/erica/uidevice-extension/ (by Erica Sadun):

[[UIDevice currentDevice] platformType]   // ex: UIDevice4GiPhone
[[UIDevice currentDevice] platformString] // ex: @"iPhone 4G"

Answer 2

You can get the device model number using uname from sys/utsname.h. For example:

#import <sys/utsname.h>

NSString*
machineName()
{
    struct utsname systemInfo;
    uname(&systemInfo);

    return [NSString stringWithCString:systemInfo.machine
                              encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}

The result should be:

@"i386"      on the simulator
@"iPod1,1"   on iPod Touch
@"iPod2,1"   on iPod Touch Second Generation
@"iPod3,1"   on iPod Touch Third Generation
@"iPod4,1"   on iPod Touch Fourth Generation
@"iPhone1,1" on iPhone
@"iPhone1,2" on iPhone 3G
@"iPhone2,1" on iPhone 3GS
@"iPad1,1"   on iPad
@"iPad2,1"   on iPad 2
@"iPad3,1"   on iPad 3 (aka new iPad)
@"iPhone3,1" on iPhone 4
@"iPhone4,1" on iPhone 4S
@"iPhone5,1" on iPhone 5
@"iPhone5,2" on iPhone 5

Answer 3

NSString* valueDevice = [[UIDevice currentDevice] model];

and then check if the string is equal to whatever device you are looking for like :

if(value==@"iPod1,1" ) 
{}

and you should be good to go

Answer 4

How about this code, if new version was released, you will identifier with the last know device

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/sysctl.h>

- (NSString *)getModel {
    size_t size;
    sysctlbyname("hw.machine", NULL, &size, NULL, 0);
    char *model = malloc(size);
    sysctlbyname("hw.machine", model, &size, NULL, 0);
    NSString *sDeviceModel = [NSString stringWithCString:model encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    free(model);                              
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"i386"])      return @"Simulator";  //iPhone Simulator
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone1,1"]) return @"iPhone1G";   //iPhone 1G
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone1,2"]) return @"iPhone3G";   //iPhone 3G
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone2,1"]) return @"iPhone3GS";  //iPhone 3GS
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone3,1"]) return @"iPhone4 AT&T";  //iPhone 4 - AT&T
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone3,2"]) return @"iPhone4 Other";  //iPhone 4 - Other carrier
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone3,3"]) return @"iPhone4";    //iPhone 4 - Other carrier
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone4,1"]) return @"iPhone4S";   //iPhone 4S
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone5,1"]) return @"iPhone5";    //iPhone 5 (GSM)
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPod1,1"])   return @"iPod1stGen"; //iPod Touch 1G
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPod2,1"])   return @"iPod2ndGen"; //iPod Touch 2G
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPod3,1"])   return @"iPod3rdGen"; //iPod Touch 3G
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPod4,1"])   return @"iPod4thGen"; //iPod Touch 4G
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPad1,1"])   return @"iPadWiFi";   //iPad Wifi
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPad1,2"])   return @"iPad3G";     //iPad 3G
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPad2,1"])   return @"iPad2";      //iPad 2 (WiFi)
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPad2,2"])   return @"iPad2";      //iPad 2 (GSM)
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPad2,3"])   return @"iPad2";      //iPad 2 (CDMA)

    NSString *aux = [[sDeviceModel componentsSeparatedByString:@","] objectAtIndex:0];

//If a newer version exist
    if ([aux rangeOfString:@"iPhone"].location!=NSNotFound) {
        int version = [[aux stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"iPhone" withString:@""] intValue];
        if (version == 3) return @"iPhone4"
        if (version >= 4) return @"iPhone4s";

    }
    if ([aux rangeOfString:@"iPod"].location!=NSNotFound) {
        int version = [[aux stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"iPod" withString:@""] intValue];
        if (version >=4) return @"iPod4thGen";
    }
    if ([aux rangeOfString:@"iPad"].location!=NSNotFound) {
        int version = [[aux stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"iPad" withString:@""] intValue];
        if (version ==1) return @"iPad3G";
        if (version >=2) return @"iPad2";
    }
    //If none was found, send the original string
    return sDeviceModel;
}

BOOL hasHighResScreen = NO;
if ([UIScreen instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(scale)]) {
    CGFloat scale = [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale];
    if (scale > 1.0) {
        hasHighResScreen = YES;
    }
}
