How to determine the current iPhone device model

Question

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  lt sys utsname h gt   struct utsname systemInfo  uname  amp 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

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  lt sys utsname h gt    implementation DeviceInfo     NSString   model       struct utsname systemInfo      uname  amp 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   - gt  Bool       let device   Device       let check   device isOneOf   iPhoneX   iPhoneXr    iPhoneXs    iPhoneXsMax                                    simulator  iPhoneX    simulator  iPhoneXr     simulator  iPhoneXs     simulator  iPhoneXsMax         return check

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   - gt  String           var systemInfo   utsname           uname  amp systemInfo          let modelCode   withUnsafeMutablePointer  amp systemInfo machine                ptr in String fromCString UnsafePointer lt CChar gt  ptr                      return String fromCString modelCode

There are some problems with the accepted answer when you re using Swift 3  This answer  inspired from NAZIK  works with Swift 3 and the new iPhone models   import UIKit   public extension UIDevice   var modelName  String        if  arch i386     arch x86 64    amp  amp  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   ProcessInfo   environment  SIMULATOR MODEL IDENTIFIER                 machineString   dir                     else           var systemInfo   utsname           uname  amp systemInfo          let machineMirror   Mirror reflecting  systemInfo machine          machineString   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 machineString       case  iPod4 1                                   return  iPod Touch 4G      case  iPod5 1                                   return  iPod Touch 5G      case  iPod7 1                                   return  iPod Touch 6G      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  iPhone8 4                                 return  iPhone SE      case  iPhone9 1    iPhone9 3                    return  iPhone 7      case  iPhone9 2    iPhone 9 4                   return  iPhone 7 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  iPad2 5    iPad2 6    iPad2 7             return  iPad Mini      case  iPad4 4    iPad4 5    iPad4 6             return  iPad Mini 2      case  iPad4 7    iPad4 8    iPad4 9             return  iPad Mini 3      case  iPad5 1    iPad5 2                        return  iPad Mini 4      case  iPad6 3    iPad6 4                        return  iPad Pro  9 7 inch       case  iPad6 7    iPad6 8                        return  iPad Pro  12 9 inch       case  AppleTV5 3                                return  Apple TV      default                                         return machineString

All the answers are great  After getting some bits I have created THIS GIST It contains DeviceModel which is part and of the  Core   No UIKit dependency  Module  It can even be used as a model  It can be used from another  Core  module component like that  struct DeviceHelper       static var specificModelType  DeviceModel           var systemInfo   utsname               uname  amp systemInfo              let modelCode   withUnsafePointer to   amp systemInfo machine                     0 withMemoryRebound to  CChar self  capacity  1                        ptr in String init validatingUTF8  ptr                                           let modelType   DeviceModel modelCode  modelCode     quot  quot           if modelType     simulator               return  simulator                UP TO YOU               if let simModelCode   ProcessInfo   environment  quot SIMULATOR MODEL IDENTIFIER quot                       return DeviceModel modelCode  simModelCode                            else               return modelType              Or from a  UI  Module component like that  extension UIDevice       static var specificModelType  DeviceModel           DeviceHelper specificModelType

Using Swift 3  Xcode 8 3    func deviceName   - gt  String           var systemInfo   utsname           uname  amp systemInfo          let str   withUnsafePointer to   amp 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

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            import UIKit  public enum Model   String       case simulator      simulator sandbox       iPod1               iPod
