Set different font size for iPhone 5 and 6

Question

I have searched for but not found an answer to this yet.

I would like to set different font sizes of labels for iPhone 5 and 6. I know that I can set specific layout for Compact Width, but both 5 and 6 belong to that group. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

My helper extension:

extension UIFont {
    static var sizeMultiplier: CGFloat {
        return UIDevice.current.isPhone5 ? 0.85 : 1
    }

    static func regular(_ size: CGFloat) -> UIFont {
        return UIFont(name: "SFUIText-Regular", size: size * sizeMultiplier)!
    }

    static func bold(_ size: CGFloat) -> UIFont {
        return UIFont(name: "SFUIText-Bold", size: size * sizeMultiplier)!
    }
}

Usage:

titleLabel.font = .bold(16)

I'm also looking for a solution to attach the iPhone5-specific size in the runtime attributes.

You can get the model of the iPhone and compare it to iPhone5, 5s, 5c, 6, and set the font accordingly. You should not use hard-coded sizes to get the device model, but you can get it with Apple's API. Please refer this and this.

Answer 3

if UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.height == 480 {
// iPhone 4
label.font = label.font.fontWithSize(20)     

} else if UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.height == 568 {
// IPhone 5
label.font = label.font.fontWithSize(20)

} else if UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.width == 375 {
// iPhone 6
label.font = label.font.fontWithSize(20)

} else if UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.width == 414 {
// iPhone 6+
label.font = label.font.fontWithSize(20)

} else if UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.width == 768 {
// iPad
label.font = label.font.fontWithSize(20)

}

Or you can get the device using the Apple's API and perform the rest of the logic to set the font size. Please refer this
