Determine device (iPhone, iPod Touch) with iOS

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

Is the UIDeviceHardware class using undocumented and so forbidden libraries?
Nope, they're documented. developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/System/…
There are some pretty good solutions in the thread that contains this answer
This question was asked 12 years ago and is still being updated. UIKit dev team and product folks - maybe this is a sign that there's an API you should be adding?

You can use the UIDevice class like this: 

NSString *deviceType = [UIDevice currentDevice].model;

if([deviceType isEqualToString:@"iPhone"])
    // it's an iPhone
@jeeva: The code in that link is a compile-time check for Universal apps (apps which are compiled separately for iPhone and iPad). This code is a runtime check. Also keep in mind that this question and answer were written long before the iPad ever existed.
@Adam i agree with you.. you have have written a answer very long back that is nice work .... i told instead of using model you can use UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad which is given for that purpose only...
@jeeva, i dont think that is supported in 3.0 OS
may I suggest unmarking this as the best answer and flagging the one that follows, with the full UIDeviceHardware class code, as the best, please?
@AnilSivadas: UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() is safe to use in apps that still support iOS < 3.2: it is a macro in UIDevice.h specifically written to default to UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone on such older iOS versions.

This is an update for UIDeviceHardware.m from the answer above.

Sorry, won't this function result in an infinite loop due to the first line? Who is 'self' here?
Yes, I rolled back that change
Why the name iPad-3G? Is that the official name of the new iPad? I think iPad 4G or iPad 3 makes more sense.
The name for a cascaded NSString comparison yielding NSString is NSDictionary.The name for defining one without code dependencies is .plist.
FYI - it appears that an updated list is kept here - theiphonewiki.com/wiki/Models

CODE REMOVED AND RELOCATED TO https://gist.github.com/1323251

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Obviously, this code is a bit out of date by now, but it can certainly be updated using the code on this thread provided by Brian Robbins which includes similar code with updated models.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

@Dave: The code does not break, it simply returns a slightly less pretty string. Do you have a better method for getting the device model? And by model, I mean more than just "iPhone" or "iPod", but the specific version.
one thing i don't get is why you're not defining those as class methods, since you're not maintaining any state. Simply replace - (NSString *) by + (NSString *) and you'll save yourself an alloc / release when using it.
This line : NSString *platform = [NSString stringWithCString:machine]; , should be NSString *platform = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:machine]; since stringWithCString is deprecated.
@Oliver - Added. It's "iPhone4,1"
My suggestion is to add this pretty simple piece of code as a gist in github, or as a very small open source project. Since Stack Overflow is not suited for this kind of development ;)

it throwing a warning saying "Implicit declaration of function 'sysctlbyname' is invalid in C99" at line sysctlbyname("hw.machine", NULL, &size, NULL, 0);
To resolve the 'Implicit declaration of function.. ' warning you need to add t he following: #import <sys/sysctl.h>

You can test it using following code: 

print("Current device is: ", self.userDeviceName())

Objective-C

I also added new devices to the Objective-C code

Don't forget to import sys/sysctl.h 

     #import <sys/sysctl.h>  


- (NSString *) userDeviceName {
    size_t size;
    sysctlbyname("hw.machine", NULL, &size, NULL, 0);
    char *machine = malloc(size);
    sysctlbyname("hw.machine", machine, &size, NULL, 0);
    NSString *platform = [NSString stringWithCString:machine encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    
    free(machine);

You can test it using following code: 

NSLog(@"Current device is: %@", [self userDeviceName]);
Just to clarify... iPhone7,2 is the 6 but iPhone8,1 is the 6S? they reversed for the 6 and 6S?
Yes, this is correct. You can check here: theiphonewiki.com/wiki/Models
Check this github.com/aleemrazzaq/ARCompactDeviceInfo this has latest Device model, iPhone X, iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPad 6th Generation 2018
Any way to check the type of simulator? :)

If you look at the question Rob mentions "I want to distinguish between iPhone and iPod Touch if possible". Your solution does not address this.

NSLog(@"platform %@, retita %@, multitasking %@", [[UIDevice currentDevice] platform], [[UIDevice currentDevice] hasRetinaDisplay] ? @"YES" : @"NO" , [[UIDevice currentDevice] hasMultitasking] ? @"YES" : @"NO");
Instead of a complicated if/else tree, you can simply check whether [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale] is 2 or not (for iOS 5+).
Does not include a needed "hasVibration" feature.

Here's a minor update with new models: 

- (NSString *) platformString{
    NSString *platform = [self platform];
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone1,1"]) return @"iPhone 1G";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone1,2"]) return @"iPhone 3G";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone2,1"]) return @"iPhone 3GS";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone3,1"]) return @"iPhone 4";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPod1,1"])   return @"iPod Touch 1G";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPod2,1"])   return @"iPod Touch 2G";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPod3,1"])   return @"iPod Touch 3G";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"i386"])   return @"iPhone Simulator";
    return platform;
}

I know an answer has been ticked already, but for future reference, you could always use the device screen size to figure out which device it is like so: 

if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {

    CGSize result = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size;

    if (result.height == 480) {
        // 3.5 inch display - iPhone 4S and below
        NSLog(@"Device is an iPhone 4S or below");
    }

    else if (result.height == 568) {
        // 4 inch display - iPhone 5
        NSLog(@"Device is an iPhone 5/S/C");
    }

    else if (result.height == 667) {
        // 4.7 inch display - iPhone 6
        NSLog(@"Device is an iPhone 6");
    }

    else if (result.height == 736) {
        // 5.5 inch display - iPhone 6 Plus
        NSLog(@"Device is an iPhone 6 Plus");
    }
} 

else if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
       // iPad 9.7 or 7.9 inch display.
       NSLog(@"Device is an iPad.");
}

Just adding the iPhone 4S device code to this thread...

The iPhone 4S will return the string @"iPhone4,1".

I've added this to the most "upped" post

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

- (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 @"iPhone3GS";  //iPhone 4 - AT&T
    if ([sDeviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone3,2"]) return @"iPhone3GS";  //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:@"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;
}
I don't like what you do. It returns bad references for unknown devices. Good idea, but bad implementation.
@Oliver What do you suggest? You have to imagine if a new device was released, you can't change the code, and for me it cause a bug.

ICL1901

Adding to Arash's code, I don't care for my app what model I'm using, I just want to know what kind of device, so, I can test as follows: 

    if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
        {
            NSLog(@"I'm definitely an iPad");
    } else {
    NSString *deviceType = [UIDevice currentDevice].model;
                if([deviceType rangeOfString:@"iPhone"].location!=NSNotFound)
                {
                    NSLog(@"I must be an iPhone");

                } else {
                    NSLog(@"I think I'm an iPod");

                }
}

Based on the very good answers above, here is what I came up with. This is very similar to @Rodrigo's answer, but addresses @Oliver's concern from the comment on that answer. This also provides the option of including the model string in the output string. 

+ (NSString *) deviceModel {
    size_t size;
    sysctlbyname("hw.machine", NULL, &size, NULL, 0);
    char *model = malloc(size);
    sysctlbyname("hw.machine", model, &size, NULL, 0);
    NSString *deviceModel = [NSString stringWithCString:model encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    free(model);      

    return deviceModel;
}

+ (NSString *) deviceName {
    NSString *deviceModel = [DeviceGateway deviceModel];                    

    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"i386"])      return @"Simulator";  //iPhone Simulator
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone1,1"]) return @"iPhone1G";   //iPhone 1G
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone1,2"]) return @"iPhone3G";   //iPhone 3G
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone2,1"]) return @"iPhone3GS";  //iPhone 3GS
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone3,1"]) return @"iPhone4";    //iPhone 4 - AT&T
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone3,2"]) return @"iPhone4";    //iPhone 4 - Other carrier
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone3,3"]) return @"iPhone4";    //iPhone 4 - Other carrier
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPhone4,1"]) return @"iPhone4S";   //iPhone 4S
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPod1,1"])   return @"iPod1stGen"; //iPod Touch 1G
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPod2,1"])   return @"iPod2ndGen"; //iPod Touch 2G
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPod3,1"])   return @"iPod3rdGen"; //iPod Touch 3G
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPod4,1"])   return @"iPod4thGen"; //iPod Touch 4G
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPad1,1"])   return @"iPadWiFi";   //iPad Wifi
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPad1,2"])   return @"iPad3G";     //iPad 3G
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPad2,1"])   return @"iPad2";      //iPad 2 (WiFi)
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPad2,2"])   return @"iPad2";      //iPad 2 (GSM)
    if ([deviceModel isEqual:@"iPad2,3"])   return @"iPad2";      //iPad 2 (CDMA)

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

    //If a newer version exists
    if ([aux rangeOfString:@"iPhone"].location != NSNotFound) {
        int version = [[aux stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"iPhone" withString:@""] intValue];
        if (version == 3) return @"iPhone4";
        if (version == 4) return @"iPhone4s";
        return @"Newer iPhone";
    }
    if ([aux rangeOfString:@"iPod"].location != NSNotFound) {
        int version = [[aux stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"iPod" withString:@""] intValue];
        if (version == 4) return @"iPod4thGen";
        return @"Newer iPod";
    }
    if ([aux rangeOfString:@"iPad"].location != NSNotFound) {
        int version = [[aux stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"iPad" withString:@""] intValue];
        if (version == 1) return @"iPad3G";
        if (version == 2) return @"iPad2";
        return @"Newer iPad";
    }

    //If none was found, send the original string
    return deviceModel;
}

+ (NSString *) deviceNameWithDeviceModel:(BOOL)shouldIncludeDeviceModel {
    if (shouldIncludeDeviceModel) {
        return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ (%@)", [DeviceGateway deviceName], [DeviceGateway deviceModel]];
    }

    return [DeviceGateway deviceName];
}
Can we use it for an AppStore application ? is this code using private API (sysctlbyname) ? Tx for your help
No use of private APIs here. This has passed automated validation in XCode.
Where do you get DeviceGateway from?
DeviceGateway is the name of the class whose static methods are shown. So the line you are asking about it just invoking the other static method in the quoted code. Feel free to name the class whatever you'd like.

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 🍭!");
      else if ([SDVersion deviceVersion] == iPhone6Plus)
           NSLog(@"iPhone 6 Plus? Bigger is better!");
      else if ([SDVersion deviceVersion] == iPadAir2)
           NSLog(@"You own an iPad Air 2 🌀!");

      // Check for device screen size
      if ([SDVersion deviceSize] == Screen4inch)
           NSLog(@"Your screen is 4 inches");
how to use in swift ?

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..

Dutchie432 and Brian Robbins have provided great solutions. But there's still one model missing, the Verizon iPhone 4. Here's the missing line. 

if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone3,2"])    return @"iPhone 4"; //Verizon
Interestingly, it seems like there is now an iPhone3,3?
@makdad Yes. Actually some Verizon iPhone 4 turned out to be 3,3.
Anyone know the identifier for the iPhone 4S yet?

Answer in Swift 3, 

struct DeviceInformation {

        sysctlbyname("hw.machine", nil, &size, nil, 0)

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.

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:

NSString *deviceType = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemName];

I can assure that the above suggested one will work in iOS 7 and above. I believe it will work in iOS 6 too. But am not sure about that.

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.

To identifiy iPhone 4S, simply check the following: 

var isIphone4S: Bool {

    let width = UIScreen.main.bounds.size.width
    let height = UIScreen.main.bounds.size.height
    let proportions = width > height ? width / height : height / width

    return proportions == 1.5 && UIDevice.current.model == "iPhone"
}

I've created an extension that lets you to have 3 levels of identification:

type of device type of iPhone/iPad by inch model of device

It updates with last iOS devices
