Description

UIDeviceHardware is a class originally created in a gist by Jaybles. It allows querying of the current users device, and returns a human formatted string.

It is written as a class method, to allow use without direct instantiation.

⚠️ Note

I don't use this helper much anymore, so I'm not keeping up to date with device models. While I welcome Pull Requests to update the model, I'd recommend moving over to something more modern, like DeviceKit.

Usage

// "iPhone 5C (GSM)"
NSString *platformString = [UIDeviceHardware platformString];
    
// "iPhone 5C"
NSString *simpleString = [UIDeviceHardware platformStringSimple];
