How to determine the current iPhone/device model?

Is there a way to get the device model name (iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, etc) in Swift?

I know there is a property named UIDevice.currentDevice().model but it only returns device type (iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, iPhone Simulator, etc).

I also know it can be done easily in Objective-C with this method:

#import <sys/utsname.h>

struct utsname systemInfo;
uname(&systemInfo);

NSString* deviceModel = [NSString stringWithCString:systemInfo.machine
                          encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

But I'm developing my iPhone app in Swift so could someone please help me with the equivalent way to solve this in Swift?

Do it in Objective C and just call that from Swift.
Does anyone know what CarPlay returns as an identifier? I'm guessing apps can be installed on it.
@jww CarPlay runs on the iOS device. iOS just uses the display, touch inputs, speakers etc. from the car (stereo), everything is executed on the iOS device, not on the car (stereo).

I made this "pure Swift" extension on UIDevice.

If you are looking for a more elegant solution you can use my µ-framework DeviceKit published on GitHub (also available via CocoaPods, Carthage and Swift Package Manager).

Here's the code:

import UIKit

public extension UIDevice {

    static let modelName: String = {
        var systemInfo = utsname()
        uname(&systemInfo)
        let machineMirror = Mirror(reflecting: systemInfo.machine)
        let identifier = machineMirror.children.reduce("") { identifier, element in
            guard let value = element.value as? Int8, value != 0 else { return identifier }
            return identifier + String(UnicodeScalar(UInt8(value)))
        }

        func mapToDevice(identifier: String) -> String { // swiftlint:disable:this cyclomatic_complexity
            #if os(iOS)
            switch identifier {
            case "iPod5,1":                                       return "iPod touch (5th generation)"
            case "iPod7,1":                                       return "iPod touch (6th generation)"
            case "iPod9,1":                                       return "iPod touch (7th generation)"

}

You call it like this:

let modelName = UIDevice.modelName

For real devices it returns e.g. "iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (5th generation)", for simulators it returns e.g. "Simulator iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (5th generation)"

Here's the model references:

I think this is great (advanced Swift), and I'm trying to figure it out to see what other optimizations I can do to it. One thing is that older devices don't support the later versions of iOS that has Swift support so it seems pointless to list information about anything preceding the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 for iOS 8+ for a Swift only example :-)
I revamped your example and posted a new one below. All the heavy lifting was done by you and others. I just experimented and combined and refined.
@Doug Good question, I should've probably included that in the answer ... theiphonewiki.com/wiki/Models
Could you update this for iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR please :)
@AlexanderVolkov which one is incorrect and what should it be? Let’s improve it together rather than just saying it’s wrong. If you know, do share with us!

Swift 5.x, both device & simulator updated to 2022

with the last: iPhone SE 3rd generation 2022, iPad Air 5th generation, iPhone 13 (all models), iPad 9th generation 2021, iPad mini 6th generation 2021, Apple Watch Series 7, iPad Pro (11-inch) (3rd generation), iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (5th generation) and Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) , (updates also for all iPods, Apple Watches and Apple TVs)

This method detects the correct model even if it's a simulator. (The exact name for the simulator device model running in your simulator)

With this answer you can check multiple device in few lines thanks to the enums

example:

var myDefaultFontSize: CGFloat = 26.0
switch UIDevice().type {
    case .iPhoneSE, .iPhone5, .iPhone5S: print("default value")
    case .iPhone6, .iPhone7, .iPhone8, .iPhone6S, .iPhoneX: myDefaultFontSize += 4
    default: break
}

Usage: You can simply get the device model with:

let deviceType = UIDevice().type

or print the exact string with:

print("Running on: \(UIDevice().type)")
Output -> "iPhone X"

Another example with cases:

var myDefaultHeight: CGFloat = 30.0
switch UIDevice().type {
    case .iPhoneSE, .iPhone5, .iPhone5S: print("default value")
    case .iPhone6, .iPhone7, .iPhone8, .iPhone6S, .iPhoneX: myDefaultHeight+= 5
    case .iPhone11, .iPhone12, .iPhone13: myDefaultHeight+= 10
    default: break
}

P.S.: I've made a little new asyncronous experiment here (direct connection with THEIPHONEWIKI site, without long static device list in source code.


your output is wrong, you have to ask for the UIDevice().type.rawvalue to get the device name with spaces.
Please add iPhone SE 2nd Gerenation. iPhone12,8
@FrédéricAdda An update of your app one time in a year should be normal. The other real solution don't give you output like this kind of code.
@AlessandroOrnano Yes, I did tested again, the extension does actually work for the simulator! I've just forgot to reinstall my app completely so I didn't see my code working. Sorry for that, your code works! =)
Thank you @AlessandroOrnano for the updates..

This Swift 3.0 example returns the current device model as an enum constant (to avoid direct comparisons to string literals). The enum's raw value is a String containing the human-readable iOS device name. Since it is Swift, the list of recognized devices only includes models recent enough to support iOS releases that include Swift. The following usage example utilizes the implementation at the end of this answer:

    switch UIDevice().type {
    case .iPhone5:
              print("No TouchID sensor")
    case .iPhone5S:
              fallthrough
    case .iPhone6:
              fallthrough
    case .iPhone6plus:
              fallthrough
    case .iPad_Pro9_7:
              fallthrough
    case .iPad_Pro12_9:
              fallthrough
    case .iPhone7:
              fallthrough
    case .iPhone7plus:
              print("Put your thumb on the " + 
                     UIDevice().type.rawValue + " TouchID sensor")
    case .unrecognized:
              print("Device model unrecognized");
    default:
              print(UIDevice().type.rawValue + " not supported by this app");
    }

Your app should be kept up-to-date for new device releases and also when Apple adds new models for the same device family. For example, iPhone3,1 iPhone3,2 iPhone3,4 are all "iPhone 4". Avoid writing code that doesn't account for new models, so your algorithms don't unexpectedly fail to configure or respond to a new device. You can refer to this maintained list of iOS Device Model #'s to update your app at strategic times.

iOS includes device-independent interfaces to detect hardware capabilities and parameters such as screen size. The generalized interfaces Apple provides are usually the safest, best supported mechanisms to dynamically adapt an app's behavior to different hardware. Nevertheless, the following code can be useful for prototyping, debugging, testing, or any time code needs to target a specific device family. This technique can also be useful to describe the current device by its common/publicly recognized name.

Swift 3

// 1. Declare outside class definition (or in its own file).
// 2. UIKit must be included in file where this code is added.
// 3. Extends UIDevice class, thus is available anywhere in app.
//
// Usage example:
//
//    if UIDevice().type == .simulator {
//       print("You're running on the simulator... boring!")
//    } else {
//       print("Wow! Running on a \(UIDevice().type.rawValue)")
//    }

            "iPhone8,2"  : .iPhone6Splus,
            "iPhone8,4"  : .iPhoneSE,
            "iPhone9,1"  : .iPhone7,
            "iPhone9,2"  : .iPhone7plus,
            "iPhone9,3"  : .iPhone7,
            "iPhone9,4"  : .iPhone7plus,
            "iPhone10,1" : .iPhone8,
            "iPhone10,2" : .iPhone8plus,
            "iPhone10,3" : .iPhoneX,
            "iPhone10,6" : .iPhoneX,
            "iPhone11,2" : .iPhoneXS,
            "iPhone11,4" : .iPhoneXSmax,
            "iPhone11,6" : .iPhoneXSmax,
            "iPhone11,8" : .iPhoneXR,
            "iPhone12,1" : .iPhone11,
            "iPhone12,3" : .iPhone11Pro,
            "iPhone12,5" : .iPhone11ProMax
        ]

    if let model = modelMap[String.init(validatingUTF8: modelCode!)!] {
            return model
        }
        return Model.unrecognized
    }
}

On Swift 2 replace: let machinePtr = advance(ptr.baseAddress, Int(_SYS_NAMELEN * 4)) with let machinePtr = ptr.baseAddress.advancedBy(Int(_SYS_NAMELEN * 4))
you do have duplicate keys in modelMap that makes iOS to complain: Duplicate literals in keys
The latest Swift 3.0.2 complains about the part if let model = modelMap[String.fromCString(modelCode!)!]. Workaround can be decoding CString first and then feeding decoded string to modelMap ` if let (str, _) = String.decodeCString(modelCode, as: UTF8.self, repairingInvalidCodeUnits: false) { if let model = modelMap[str] { return model } } `
As @alekperos says there is a typo in the code. It should be : if let model = modelMap[String.init(validatingUTF8: deviceModelCode()!)!] { return model }
Dose someone know What string will be returned as modelCode! if user using iPhoneSE ?

Yet another/simple alternative (model identifier reference found at https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/Models):

Updated answer for Swift 3/4/5 including string trimming and simulator support:

func modelIdentifier() -> String {
    if let simulatorModelIdentifier = ProcessInfo().environment["SIMULATOR_MODEL_IDENTIFIER"] { return simulatorModelIdentifier }
    var sysinfo = utsname()
    uname(&sysinfo) // ignore return value
    return String(bytes: Data(bytes: &sysinfo.machine, count: Int(_SYS_NAMELEN)), encoding: .ascii)!.trimmingCharacters(in: .controlCharacters)
}

great. simplest answer
Hi @JafarKhoshtabiat :) It is part of UNIX and I have used it in apps on App Store for many years :)
For simulator detection use: #if targetEnvironment(simulator) #endif
@Houman Identifer is different than the device model. So it is expected to get "12,1" as the output. Check the link in the answer.
@KyLeggiero Yikes! Well, I am pretty sure it never failed. But feel free to add a test in your own code if this keeps you awake at night ;)

I've made another sample extension on UIDevice to include simulator model identifier base on @HAS's answer . It's working fine with Swift3.2 above(include Swift 4.x, Swift 5):

let modelName = UIDevice.current.modelName

New add Models: iPod touch (7th generation), iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (4th generation)

import UIKit

public extension UIDevice {

        #else
            var systemInfo = utsname()
            uname(&systemInfo)
            let machineMirror = Mirror(reflecting: systemInfo.machine)
            let identifier = machineMirror.children.reduce("") { identifier, element in
                guard let value = element.value as? Int8, value != 0 else { return identifier }
                return identifier + String(UnicodeScalar(UInt8(value)))

A shame, this solution looks great. But I can't get it to work on Swift 5. Any advice?
Note that this does not return iPhone 6s for example, it returns iPhone8,1.
Returns iPhone7 for an iPhone6 so advise against using this.
People missing the point: Apple doesn't give you "iPhone 12 Max", it gives you these command separated strings, you need to then map them to their "plain text" model names! He even cals this out in the code block header!!!

For both device as well as simulators, Create a new swift file with name UIDevice.swift

Add the below code

import UIKit


public extension UIDevice {

var modelName: String {
    #if (arch(i386) || arch(x86_64)) && os(iOS)
        let DEVICE_IS_SIMULATOR = true
    #else
        let DEVICE_IS_SIMULATOR = false
    #endif

    var machineString : String = ""

    if DEVICE_IS_SIMULATOR == true
    {

        if let dir = NSProcessInfo().environment["SIMULATOR_MODEL_IDENTIFIER"] {
            machineString = dir
        }
    }
    else {
        var systemInfo = utsname()
        uname(&systemInfo)
        let machineMirror = Mirror(reflecting: systemInfo.machine)
        machineString = machineMirror.children.reduce("") { identifier, element in
            guard let value = element.value as? Int8 where value != 0 else { return identifier }
            return identifier + String(UnicodeScalar(UInt8(value)))
        }
    }
    switch machineString {
    case "iPod5,1":                                 return "iPod Touch 5"
    case "iPod7,1":                                 return "iPod Touch 6"
    case "iPhone3,1", "iPhone3,2", "iPhone3,3":     return "iPhone 4"
    case "iPhone4,1":                               return "iPhone 4s"
    case "iPhone5,1", "iPhone5,2":                  return "iPhone 5"
    case "iPhone5,3", "iPhone5,4":                  return "iPhone 5c"
    case "iPhone6,1", "iPhone6,2":                  return "iPhone 5s"
    case "iPhone7,2":                               return "iPhone 6"
    case "iPhone7,1":                               return "iPhone 6 Plus"
    case "iPhone8,1":                               return "iPhone 6s"
    case "iPhone8,2":                               return "iPhone 6s Plus"
    case "iPad2,1", "iPad2,2", "iPad2,3", "iPad2,4":return "iPad 2"
    case "iPad3,1", "iPad3,2", "iPad3,3":           return "iPad 3"
    case "iPad3,4", "iPad3,5", "iPad3,6":           return "iPad 4"
    case "iPad4,1", "iPad4,2", "iPad4,3":           return "iPad Air"
    case "iPad5,3", "iPad5,4":                      return "iPad Air 2"
    case "iPad2,5", "iPad2,6", "iPad2,7":           return "iPad Mini"
    case "iPad4,4", "iPad4,5", "iPad4,6":           return "iPad Mini 2"
    case "iPad4,7", "iPad4,8", "iPad4,9":           return "iPad Mini 3"
    case "iPad5,1", "iPad5,2":                      return "iPad Mini 4"
    case "iPad6,7", "iPad6,8":                      return "iPad Pro"
    case "AppleTV5,3":                              return "Apple TV"
    default:                                        return machineString
    }
}
}

Then in your viewcontroller,

 let deviceType = UIDevice.currentDevice().modelName

    if deviceType.lowercaseString.rangeOfString("iphone 4") != nil {
       print("iPhone 4 or iphone 4s")
    }
    else if deviceType.lowercaseString.rangeOfString("iphone 5") != nil {
        print("iPhone 5 or iphone 5s or iphone 5c")
    }
   else if deviceType.lowercaseString.rangeOfString("iphone 6") != nil {
        print("iPhone 6 Series")
    }

XCode 7.2 says that line if let dir = NSProcessInfo().environment["SIMULATOR_MODEL_IDENTIFIER"] will never be executed.
@DeepakThakur, did u try running in simulator? me too using Xcode 7.2, it's working fine
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus size are different. How to handle this?
@JayprakashDubey, in that method it'll return "iPhone 6 Plus" for 6 plus, u can check...
And the Objective-C equivalent to get the simulator type is: [NSProcessInfo processInfo].environment[@"SIMULATOR_MODEL_IDENTIFIER"]

Stunner

Using Swift 3 (Xcode 8.3)

    func deviceName() -> String {
        var systemInfo = utsname()
        uname(&systemInfo)
        let str = withUnsafePointer(to: &systemInfo.machine.0) { ptr in
            return String(cString: ptr)
        }
        return str
    }

Note: According to official dev forum answer, it is safe to use tuples in this way. Memory alignment for the big Int8 tuple will be the same as if it were a big Int8 array. ie: contiguous and not-padded.


this one has the added bonus of being non-UIKit dependent
This answer is underrated! So much simpler than using a Mirror. You can even simplify this further by omitting the withUnsafePointer call like this: return String(cString: &sysinfo.machine.0)
@mklbtz Good tip, only issue with that is that it returns an optional String. I expect the return value of something like deviceName() to be a non-optional or I'd be using your suggestion.
@Stunner mm, maybe you misunderstood me but no this doesn't make it optional. ``` func deviceName() -> String { var systemInfo = utsname() uname(&systemInfo) return String(cString: &systemInfo.machine.0) } ```

Dealing with c structs is painful in swift. Especially if they have some kind of c arrays in it. Here is my solution: Continue to use objective-c. Just create a wrapper objective-c class that does this job and then use that class in swift. Here is a sample class that does exactly this:

@interface DeviceInfo : NSObject

+ (NSString *)model;

@end

#import "DeviceInfo.h"
#import <sys/utsname.h>

@implementation DeviceInfo

+ (NSString *)model
{
    struct utsname systemInfo;
    uname(&systemInfo);

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

@end

In swift side:

let deviceModel = DeviceInfo.model()

Thanks mstysf. But I think I have found a solution in here <stackoverflow.com/a/25380129>. However, do you you know whether it is possible to tell between iPhone Simulators (iPhone4s,iPhone5,iPhone6)? Because it seems to me that it only returns "x86_64" for all iPhone Simulators no matter what model I have chosen.
Sorry I think an error occurred while coping. Here is the link : stackoverflow.com/a/25380129/2640210
@TheMachSystem That's the whole problem with this approach. It isn't the right way to adapt your app's behavior in most cases. You should be sniffing out the hardware configuration and characteristics using more generalized standard iOS interfaces wherever possible although that might require some more research and coding effort.
@TheMachSystem Chiming in a bit late perhaps, but the answer to your question (if it's possible to differentiate between iDevice models in the Simulator) is no. The reason you're getting x86_64 from utsname is that the Simulator is actually your computer which has the machine property x86_64. Try by changing .machine to .nodename in your method the return value will be something like My-iMac.local.

I've implemented a super-lightweight library to detect the used device based on some of the given answers: https://github.com/schickling/Device.swift

It can be installed via Carthage and be used like this:

import Device

let deviceType = UIDevice.currentDevice().deviceType

switch deviceType {
case .IPhone6: print("Do stuff for iPhone6")
case .IPadMini: print("Do stuff for iPad mini")
default: print("Check other available cases of DeviceType")
}

There are some problems with the accepted answer when you're using Swift 3! This answer (inspired from NAZIK) works with Swift 3 and the new iPhone models:

import UIKit


public extension UIDevice {
var modelName: String {
    #if (arch(i386) || arch(x86_64)) && os(iOS)
        let DEVICE_IS_SIMULATOR = true
    #else
        let DEVICE_IS_SIMULATOR = false
    #endif

    var machineString = String()

    if DEVICE_IS_SIMULATOR == true
    {
        if let dir = ProcessInfo().environment["SIMULATOR_MODEL_IDENTIFIER"] {
            machineString = dir
        }
    }

        uname(&systemInfo)
        let machineMirror = Mirror(reflecting: systemInfo.machine)
        machineString = machineMirror.children.reduce("") { identifier, element in
            guard let value = element.value as? Int8 , value != 0 else { return identifier }

Swift 3.0 or higher

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    let device = UIDevice.current

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let model = device.model
        print(model) // e.g. "iPhone"

        let modelName = device.modelName

There is a helper library for this.

Swift 5

pod 'DeviceKit', '~> 2.0'

Swift 4.0 - Swift 4.2

pod 'DeviceKit', '~> 1.3'

if you just want to determine the model and make something accordingly.

You can use like that :

let isIphoneX = Device().isOneOf([.iPhoneX, .simulator(.iPhoneX)])

In a function :

func isItIPhoneX() -> Bool {
    let device = Device()
    let check = device.isOneOf([.iPhoneX, .iPhoneXr , .iPhoneXs , .iPhoneXsMax ,
                                .simulator(.iPhoneX), .simulator(.iPhoneXr) , .simulator(.iPhoneXs) , .simulator(.iPhoneXsMax) ])
    return check
}

Are you sure @Wolverian ? I am using already like that in my project.
Yes you are right. I forgot I used a library for this. It is ok now.

WikiDevice

the asynchronous library that gives you the answer from theiphonewiki

A crazy little experiment for automation fans like me. I made this algorithm that reads the identification code of the device, physical or simulated, and load the theiphonewiki page to extrapolate the model name based on the identification code (example iPhone11,2 -> iPhone XS). The algorithm interfaces with the WIKI page using the internal Wiki API Sandbox tool that allows you to have a JSON response, however the content is not obtainable in JSON (just the part that was needed, that is the wikitables) so I parsed the HTML content to get to the device name, without using third parts HTML parsing libraries.

PROS: always updated, you don't need to add new devices

CONS: asyncronous answer using the wiki page from web

P.S. Feel free to improve my code to get an even more precise result and a more elegant syntax P.S.S. If you need a more immediate answer use my previous answer here in this page

Usage:

var deviceModel:String = ""
WikiDevice.model { (model) in
     print("Using WikiDevice, running on: \(model)")
     deviceModel = model
}

Output:

Using WikiDevice, running on: iPhone 11 Pro Max

This is an awesome solution! The only obvious limitation is that it requires a network. I wrote an auto updating Swift package that works offline: github.com/ptrkstr/Devices

If you do not want to keep updating your code everytime Apple adds a new model to a device family, use the method below returning you the model code only.

func platform() -> String {
        var systemInfo = utsname()
        uname(&systemInfo)
        let modelCode = withUnsafeMutablePointer(&systemInfo.machine) {
            ptr in String.fromCString(UnsafePointer<CChar>(ptr))
        }

        return String.fromCString(modelCode!)!
}

Benoit Deldicque

You can use BDLocalizedDevicesModels framework to parse device info and get the name.

Then just call UIDevice.currentDevice.productName in your code.

Below is the code for getting the hardware string, but you need to compare these hardware string to know which device it is. I have created a class for that contains almost all the device strings(we're keeping string upto date with new devices). It's easy to use please check

Swift : GitHub/DeviceGuru

Objective-C : GitHub/DeviceUtil

public func hardwareString() -> String {
  var name: [Int32] = [CTL_HW, HW_MACHINE]
  var size: Int = 2
  sysctl(&name, 2, nil, &size, &name, 0)
  var hw_machine = [CChar](count: Int(size), repeatedValue: 0)
  sysctl(&name, 2, &hw_machine, &size, &name, 0)

  let hardware: String = String.fromCString(hw_machine)!
  return hardware
}

DeviceGuru doesn't seem to have been updated in a while. I wrote a similar package that checks for new updates every day automatically. github.com/ptrkstr/Devices

SWIFT 3.1

my two cents for simply calling utsname:

    func platform() -> String {
    var systemInfo = utsname()
    uname(&systemInfo)
    let size = Int(_SYS_NAMELEN) // is 32, but posix AND its init is 256....

    let s = withUnsafeMutablePointer(to: &systemInfo.machine) {p in

        p.withMemoryRebound(to: CChar.self, capacity: size, {p2 in
            return String(cString: p2)
        })

    }
    return s
}

as other did, but a bit cleaner about all the intricacy of C/Swift and back. ):

Returns values such as "x86_64"

My simple solution grouped by device and support new devices iPhone 8 and iPhone X in Swift 3:

public extension UIDevice {
    var modelName: String {
        var systemInfo = utsname()
        uname(&systemInfo)
        let machineMirror = Mirror(reflecting: systemInfo.machine)
        let identifier = machineMirror.children.reduce("") { identifier, element in
            guard let value = element.value as? Int8, value != 0 else { return identifier }
            return identifier + String(UnicodeScalar(UInt8(value)))
        }

        switch identifier {
        case "iPhone3,1", "iPhone3,2", "iPhone3,3", "iPhone4,1":
            return "iPhone 4"

        case "iPhone5,1", "iPhone5,2", "iPhone5,3", "iPhone5,4", "iPhone6,1", "iPhone6,2", "iPhone8,4":
            return "iPhone 5"

        case "iPhone7,2", "iPhone8,1", "iPhone9,1", "iPhone9,3", "iPhone10,1", "iPhone10,4":
            return "iPhone 6,7,8"

        case "iPhone7,1", "iPhone8,2", "iPhone9,2", "iPhone9,4", "iPhone10,2", "iPhone10,5":
            return "iPhone Plus"

        case "iPhone10,3", "iPhone10,6":
            return "iPhone X"

        case "i386", "x86_64":
            return "Simulator"
        default:
            return identifier
        }
    }
}

And use:

switch UIDevice.current.modelName {
  case "iPhone 4":
  case "iPhone 5":
  case "iPhone 6,7,8":
  case "iPhone Plus":
  case "iPhone X":
  case "Simulator":
  default:
}

Based on this answer and this answer. I've created a public gist

How it can be used

let boolean: Bool = UIDevice.isDevice(ofType: .iPhoneX)
// true or false

let specificDevice: DeviceModel.Model = UIDevice.modelType
// iPhone6s, iPhoneX, iPad etc...

let model: DeviceModel = UIDevice.model
// .simulator(let specificDevice), .real(let specificDevice),
// .unrecognizedSimulator(let string), .unrecognized(let string)

let modelName: String = UIDevice.model.name
// iPhone 6, iPhone X, etc...

Simplest way to get model name (marketing name)

Use private API -[UIDevice _deviceInfoForKey:] carefully, you won't be rejected by Apple,

// works on both simulators and real devices, iOS 8 to iOS 12
NSString *deviceModelName(void) {
    // For Simulator
    NSString *modelName = NSProcessInfo.processInfo.environment[@"SIMULATOR_DEVICE_NAME"];
    if (modelName.length > 0) {
        return modelName;
    }

    // For real devices and simulators, except simulators running on iOS 8.x
    UIDevice *device = [UIDevice currentDevice];
    NSString *selName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"_%@ForKey:", @"deviceInfo"];
    SEL selector = NSSelectorFromString(selName);
    if ([device respondsToSelector:selector]) {
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Warc-performSelector-leaks"
        modelName = [device performSelector:selector withObject:@"marketing-name"];
#pragma clang diagnostic pop
    }
    return modelName;
}

How did I get the key "marketing-name"?

Running on a simulator, NSProcessInfo.processInfo.environment contains a key named "SIMULATOR_CAPABILITIES", the value of which is a plist file. Then you open the plist file, you will get the model name's key "marketing-name".


I would not recommend using private APIs
@Julius You are right. It always works, and don't need to update your code with new Apple devices release.

extension UIDevice {

    public static let hardwareModel: String = {
        var path = [CTL_HW, HW_MACHINE]
        var n = 0
        sysctl(&path, 2, nil, &n, nil, 0)
        var a: [UInt8] = .init(repeating: 0, count: n)
        sysctl(&path, 2, &a, &n, nil, 0)
        return .init(cString: a)
    }()
}

UIDevice.hardwareModel // → iPhone9,3

For swift4.0 and above used below code:

let udid = UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString
let name = UIDevice.current.name
let version = UIDevice.current.systemVersion
let modelName = UIDevice.current.model
let osName = UIDevice.current.systemName
let localized = UIDevice.current.localizedModel

print(udid ?? "")
print(name)
print(version)
print(modelName)
print(osName)
print(localized)

In Swift 3 it'd be

 UIDevice.current.model

Result I get back is just "iPhone", when I run on any of the simulators.
This solution returns just model as "iPhone" or "iPod touch". Not the particular device like "iPhone 6s"
