I was wondering if it's possible to determine what kind of iPhone (for example) the currentdevice is? I know it's possible to get the model through
NSString *deviceType = [[UIDevice currentDevice] model];
which will just return whether I have an "iPhone" or an "iPod", BUT I was wondering if it's possible to detect/know if I have an iPhone 3GS vs. and iPhone 4 vs. an iPhone 4S (in actuality, all I really want to do is determine if I have a 3G or not, because I'm doing fairly graphics intensive stuff).
So yeah, let me know, thank you!
EITHER try this library: http://github.com/erica/uidevice-extension/ (by Erica Sadun). (The library is 7-8 years old, and hence is obsolete)
(Sample Code):
[[UIDevice currentDevice] platformType] // ex: UIDevice4GiPhone
[[UIDevice currentDevice] platformString] // ex: @"iPhone 4G"
OR You can use this method:
You can get the device model number using uname from sys/utsname.h. For example:
Objective-C
#import <sys/utsname.h> // import it in your header or implementation file.
NSString* deviceName()
{
struct utsname systemInfo;
uname(&systemInfo);
return [NSString stringWithCString:systemInfo.machine
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}
Swift 3
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)))
}
return identifier
}
}
print(UIDevice.current.modelName)
The result should be:
