Determine device (iPhone, iPod Touch) with iPhone

Question

Is there a way to determine the device running an application. I want to distinguish between iPhone and iPod Touch, if possible.

Answer 1

You can check GBDeviceInfo on GitHub, also available via CocoaPods. It provides simple API for detecting various properties with support of all latest devices:

• Device family

[GBDeviceInfo deviceDetails].family == GBDeviceFamilyiPhone;

• Device model

[GBDeviceInfo deviceDetails].model == GBDeviceModeliPhone6.

For more see Readme.

Answer 2

I took it a bit further and converted the big "isEqualToString" block into a classification of bit masks for the device type, the generation, and that other qualifier after the comma (I'm calling it the sub generation). It is wrapped in a class with a singleton call SGPlatform which avoids a lot of repetitive string operations. Code is available https://github.com/danloughney/spookyGroup

The class lets you do things like this:

if ([SGPlatform iPad] && [SGPlatform generation] > 3) {
    // set for high performance
}

and

switch ([SGPlatform deviceMask]) {
case DEVICE_IPHONE:
    break;
case DEVICE_IPAD:
    break;
case DEVICE_IPAD_MINI:
    break;
}

The classification of the devices is in the platformBits method. That method should be very familiar to the readers of this thread. I have classified the devices by their type and generation because I'm mostly interested in the overall performance, but the source can be tweaked to provide any classification that you are interested in, retina screen, networking capabilities, etc..

Please feel free to use this class (gist @ github)

UPDATE (01/14/11)

Obviously, this code is a bit out of date by now, but it can certainly be updated using the code on this thread provided by Brian Robbins which includes similar code with updated models. Thanks for the support on this thread.

Answer 4

There's a pretty mature library (by me) for that called SDVersion. You can check for running device's model, screen size and many other parameters. It also supports OSX.

Example:

      // Check for device model
      if ([SDVersion deviceVersion] == iPhone6)
           NSLog(@"You got the iPhone 6. Sweet

Answer 5

For simple comparison I always like macro:

#define IS_IPOD [[UIDevice currentDevice].model containsString:@"iPod"]
#define IS_IPAD (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
#define IS_IPHONE (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)

It's simple and easy to use.

Answer 6

I'd like to add that to retrieve the front and enclosure color of the device there's a private API:

UIDevice *device = [UIDevice currentDevice];
SEL selector = NSSelectorFromString([device.systemVersion hasPrefix:@"7"] ? @"_deviceInfoForKey:" :  @"deviceInfoForKey:");
if ([device respondsToSelector:selector]) {
    NSLog(@"DeviceColor: %@ DeviceEnclosureColor: %@", [device performSelector:selector withObject:@"DeviceColor"], [device performSelector:selector withObject:@"DeviceEnclosureColor"]);
}

I've blogged about this and provide a sample app:
