How can I detect a simulated iOS device's screen size?

Question

How can I detect a simulated device's screen size and device name when my app is running in the simulator? I'm simulating iPhone 6 & 6 Plus on iOS 8. All answers I have tried return "simulator" as the device name, like https://github.com/duhovny/DeviceHardware, and similar ones. Thanks!

The following returns a CGRect holding the size of your device's screen in points.

[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];

Note that the following would return the size of your screen without the status bar. Try to think of this as the frame rectangle for your application's window.

[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];
