Hi,
Which method should I use to get the device type information ?
How could I know whether the device is iPhone 3G, iPhone 4 or iPad ?
When I use [[UIDevice currentDevice] model], it always reports that it is a iPhone simulator, no matter the app is running in iPad or iPhone simulator.
Does this method work properly on real devices ?
Thanks
1. By knowing the current device resolution (noob way but it works)
if (winSize.height == 480)
NSLog(@"It's iPod/iPhone");
else if (winSize.height == 960)
NSLog(@"It's iPhone4");
else if (winSize.height = 1024)
NSLog(@"It's iPad");2. For iOS 3.2+ by using userInterfaceIdiom, please refer to https://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIKitFunctionReference/Reference/reference.html#//apple_ref/c/macro/UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM
3. By checking code support
if ([device respondsToSelector:@selector(...)])
4. By checking system version, the sample is on GSSprite sample code (https://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/GLSprite/Listings/Classes_EAGLView_m.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40007325-Classes_EAGLView_m-DontLinkElementID_4)
That's all I know. Hope this will help.

Hi all,
Here the class i wrote for that purpose:
#import <sys/utsname.h>
/**
@brief helper class to detects the device on which the program is running
*/
@interface DeviceDetection : NSObject
enum {
MODEL_UNKNOWN=0,/**< unknown model */
MODEL_IPHONE_SIMULATOR,/**< iphone simulator */
MODEL_IPAD_SIMULATOR,/**< ipad simulator */
MODEL_IPOD_TOUCH_GEN1,/**< ipod touch 1st Gen */
MODEL_IPOD_TOUCH_GEN2,/**< ipod touch 2nd Gen */
MODEL_IPOD_TOUCH_GEN3,/**< ipod touch 3th Gen */
MODEL_IPHONE,/**< iphone */
MODEL_IPHONE_3G,/**< iphone 3G */
MODEL_IPHONE_3GS,/**< iphone 3GS */
MODEL_IPHONE_4, /**< iphone 4 */
MODEL_IPAD/** ipad */
};
/**
get the id of the detected device
*/
+ (uint) detectDevice;
/**
get the string for the detected device
*/
+ (NSString *) returnDeviceName:(BOOL)ignoreSimulator;
@end
#import "DeviceDetection.h"
@implementation DeviceDetection
+ (uint) detectDevice {
NSString *model= [[UIDevice currentDevice] model];
struct utsname u;
uname(&u);
if (!strcmp(u.machine, "iPhone1,1")) {
return MODEL_IPHONE;
} else if (!strcmp(u.machine, "iPhone1,2")){
return MODEL_IPHONE_3G;
} else if (!strcmp(u.machine, "iPhone2,1")){
return MODEL_IPHONE_3GS;
} else if (!strcmp(u.machine, "iPhone3,1")){
return MODEL_IPHONE_4;
} else if (!strcmp(u.machine, "iPod1,1")){
return MODEL_IPOD_TOUCH_GEN1;
} else if (!strcmp(u.machine, "iPod2,1")){
return MODEL_IPOD_TOUCH_GEN2;
} else if (!strcmp(u.machine, "iPod3,1")){
return MODEL_IPOD_TOUCH_GEN3;
} else if (!strcmp(u.machine, "iPad1,1")){
return MODEL_IPAD;
} else if (!strcmp(u.machine, "i386")){
//NSString *iPhoneSimulator = @"iPhone Simulator";
NSString *iPadSimulator = @"iPad Simulator";
if([model compare:iPadSimulator] == NSOrderedSame)
return MODEL_IPAD_SIMULATOR;
else
return MODEL_IPHONE_SIMULATOR;
}
else {
return MODEL_UNKNOWN;
}
}
+ (NSString *) returnDeviceName:(BOOL)ignoreSimulator {
NSString *returnValue = @"Unknown";
switch ([DeviceDetection detectDevice])
{
case MODEL_IPHONE_SIMULATOR:
returnValue = @"iPhone Simulator";
break;
case MODEL_IPOD_TOUCH_GEN1:
returnValue = @"iPod Touch";
break;
case MODEL_IPOD_TOUCH_GEN2:
returnValue = @"iPod Touch";
break;
case MODEL_IPOD_TOUCH_GEN3:
returnValue = @"iPod Touch";
break;
case MODEL_IPHONE:
returnValue = @"iPhone";
break;
case MODEL_IPHONE_3G:
returnValue = @"iPhone 3G";
break;
case MODEL_IPHONE_3GS:
returnValue = @"iPhone 3GS";
break;
case MODEL_IPHONE_4:
returnValue = @"iPhone 4";
break;
case MODEL_IPAD:
returnValue = @"iPad";
break;
default:
break;
}
return returnValue;
}
@endHope it helps!

Hi,
