How to determine the current iPhone/device model?
IosIphoneSwiftDeviceIos Problem Overview
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?

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)"

}
#elseif os(tvOS)
switch identifier {

case "AppleTV6,2": return "Apple TV 4K"
case "i386", "x86_64": return "Simulator \(mapToDevice(identifier: ProcessInfo().environment["SIMULATOR_MODEL_IDENTIFIER"] ?? "tvOS"))"
default: return identifier
}
#endif
}
return mapToDevice(identifier: identifier)
}()
}
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:
Solution 2 - Ios
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
}

Solution 3 - Ios
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)")
// }

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)

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 "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")
}
Solution 8 - Ios
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.
Solution 9 - Ios
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()

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) ])

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

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!)!
}

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
}

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:

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".
