Detect if the device is iPhone X

Question

My iOS app uses a custom height for the UINavigationBar which leads to some problems on the new iPhone X    Does someone already know how to reliable detect programmatically  in Objective-C  if an app is running on iPhone X   EDIT   Of course checking the size of the screen is possible  however  I wonder if there is some  build in  method like TARGET OS IPHONE to detect iOS     if  UI USER INTERFACE IDIOM      UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone        CGSize screenSize     UIScreen mainScreen  bounds  size      if  screenSize height    812          NSLog   iPhone X        EDIT 2   I do not think  that my question is a duplicate of the linked question  Of course  there are methods to  measure  different properties of the current device and to use the results to decide which device is used  However  this was not the actual point of my question as I tried to emphasize in my first edit    The actual question is   Is it possible to directly detect if the current device is an iPhone X  e g  by some SDK feature  or do I have to use indirect measurements    By the answers given so far  I assume that the answer is  No  there is no direct methods  Measurements are the way to go

You can do like this to detect iPhone X device according to dimension   Swift  if UIDevice   userInterfaceIdiom     phone  amp  amp  UIScreen main nativeBounds height    2436        iPhone X     Objective - C  if   UIDevice currentDevice  userInterfaceIdiom    UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone  amp  amp  UIScreen mainScreen nativeBounds size height    2436         iPhone X            But   This is not sufficient way  What if Apple announced next iPhone with same dimension of iPhone X  so the best way is to use Hardware string to detect the device   For newer device Hardware string is as below   iPhone 8      - iPhone10 1 or iPhone 10 4  iPhone 8 Plus - iPhone10 2 or iPhone 10 5  iPhone X  - iPhone10 3 or iPhone10 6

I know it s only a Swift solution  but it could help someone  I have globals swift in every project with some code to ease my life and one of the things I always add are ScreenSize and hasNotch to easily detect phone type and dimensions  struct ScreenSize     static let width   UIScreen main bounds size width   static let height   UIScreen main bounds size height    var hasNotch  Bool     return UIApplication shared delegate  window   safeAreaInsets top    0  gt  0    Then to use it  if hasNotch     print  quot This executes on all phones with a notch quot

There are several reasons to want to know what the device is    You can check the device height  and width   This is useful for layout  but you usually don t want to do that if you want to know the exact device  For layout purposes  you can also use UIView safeAreaInsets  If you want to display the device name  for example  to be included in a email for diagnostic purposes  after retrieving the device model using sysctl     you can use the equivalent of this to figure the name     curl http   appledevicenames com devices iPhone10 6  iPhone X

For those getting 2001px instead of 2436px for the native bounds height  like me   it is because you built your app with an older SDK  before iOS 11  Xcode 8 instead of Xcode 9    With an older SDK  iOS will display the apps  black boxed  on the iPhone X instead of extending the screen edge-to-edge  beyond the top  sensor notch    This reduces the screen size which is why that property returns 2001 instead of 2436   The simplest solution is to just check for both sizes if you are only interested in device detection   I used this method for detecting FaceID while building with an older Xcode SDK which doesn t have the ENUM value specifying the biometric type   In this situation  device detection using screen height seemed like the best way to know whether the device had FaceID vs TouchID without having to update Xcode

I think that Apple don t want us manually check if the device has  notch  or  home indicator  but the code that works is   - BOOL hasTopNotch       if   available iOS 11 0                 float max safe area inset   MAX MAX    UIApplication sharedApplication  delegate  window  safeAreaInsets top     UIApplication sharedApplication  delegate  window  safeAreaInsets right  MAX    UIApplication sharedApplication  delegate  window  safeAreaInsets bottom     UIApplication sharedApplication  delegate  window  safeAreaInsets left             return max safe area inset  gt   44 0              return  NO      - BOOL hasHomeIndicator       if   available iOS 11 0                 int iNumberSafeInsetsEqualZero   0           if    UIApplication sharedApplication  delegate  window  safeAreaInsets top    0 0 iNumberSafeInsetsEqualZero            if    UIApplication sharedApplication  delegate  window  safeAreaInsets right    0 0 iNumberSafeInsetsEqualZero            if    UIApplication sharedApplication  delegate  window  safeAreaInsets bottom    0 0 iNumberSafeInsetsEqualZero            if    UIApplication sharedApplication  delegate  window  safeAreaInsets left    0 0 iNumberSafeInsetsEqualZero             return iNumberSafeInsetsEqualZero  lt   2              return  NO       Some of the other posts doesn t work  For example  iPhone 6S with  in-call status bar   green bar  in portrait mode has a big top safe inset  With my code all the cases are taken up  even if device starts in portrait or landscape

I had to solve the same issue recently  And while this question is definitively answered   No    this may help others who need iPhone X specific layout behaviour    I wasn t really interested in whether the device was iPhone X  I was interested in whether the device had a notched display   private static var hasNotchedDisplay  Bool       if let window   UIApplication shared keyWindow           return  window compatibleSafeAreaInsets top  gt  20 0    window compatibleSafeAreaInsets left  gt  0 0    window compatibleSafeAreaInsets right  gt  0 0             return false     You could also write a hasOnScreenHomeIndicator variable along the same lines  though check the bottom safe area  maybe     The above uses my extension on UIView for convenient access to the safe area insets on iOS 10 and earlier     objc public extension UIView        objc public var compatibleSafeAreaInsets  UIEdgeInsets           if  available iOS 11 0                   return safeAreaInsets           else               return  zero                       objc public var compatibleSafeAreaLayoutGuide  UILayoutGuide           if  available iOS 11 0                   return safeAreaLayoutGuide           else               return layoutMarginsGuide

I was using Peter Kreinz s code  because it was clean and did what I needed  but then I realized it works just when the device is on portrait  since top padding will be on top  obviously  So I created an extension to handle all the orientations with its respective paddings  without relaying on the screen size   extension UIDevice        var isIphoneX  Bool           if  available iOS 11 0      isIphone               if isLandscape                   if let leftPadding   UIApplication shared keyWindow  safeAreaInsets left  leftPadding  gt  0                       return true                                   if let rightPadding   UIApplication shared keyWindow  safeAreaInsets right  rightPadding  gt  0                       return true                                 else                   if let topPadding   UIApplication shared keyWindow  safeAreaInsets top  topPadding  gt  0                       return true                                   if let bottomPadding   UIApplication shared keyWindow  safeAreaInsets bottom  bottomPadding  gt  0                       return true                                                   return false            var isLandscape  Bool           return UIDeviceOrientationIsLandscape orientation     UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape UIApplication shared statusBarOrientation             var isPortrait  Bool           return UIDeviceOrientationIsPortrait orientation     UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait UIApplication shared statusBarOrientation             var isIphone  Bool           return self userInterfaceIdiom     phone            var isIpad  Bool           return self userInterfaceIdiom     pad           And on your call site you just   let res   UIDevice current isIphoneX

After looking at all the answers this is what I ended up doing   Solution  Swift 4 1 compatible   extension UIDevice       static var isIphoneX  Bool           var modelIdentifier              if isSimulator               modelIdentifier   ProcessInfo processInfo environment  SIMULATOR MODEL IDENTIFIER                   else               var size   0             sysctlbyname  hw machine   nil   amp size  nil  0              var machine    CChar  repeating  0  count  size              sysctlbyname  hw machine    amp machine   amp size  nil  0              modelIdentifier   String cString  machine                     return modelIdentifier     iPhone10 3     modelIdentifier     iPhone10 6             static var isSimulator  Bool           return TARGET OS SIMULATOR    0           Use  if UIDevice isIphoneX          is iPhoneX   else          is not iPhoneX     Note  Pre Swift 4 1 you can check if the app is running on a simulator like so   TARGET OS SIMULATOR    0   From Swift 4 1 and onwards you can check if the app is running on a simulator using the Target environment platform condition    if targetEnvironment simulator      return true  else     return false  endif    the older method will still work  but this new method is more future proof

I rely on the Status Bar Frame height to detect if it s an iPhone X    if UIApplication shared statusBarFrame height  gt   CGFloat 44           It is an iPhone X     This is for application un portrait  You could also check the size according to the device orientation  Also  on other iPhones  the Status Bar may be hidden  so the frame height is 0  On iPhone X  the Status Bar is never hidden

You should not assume that the only device that Apple releases with a different UINavigationBar height will be the iPhone X  Try to solve this problem using a more generic solution  If you want the bar to always be 20px bigger than its default height  your code should add 20px to the height of the bar  instead of setting it to 64px  44px   20px

User · Answer

All the answers that are using the height are only half part of the story for one reason  If you re going to check like that when device orientation is landscapeLeft or landscapeRight the check will fail  because the height is swapped out with the width   That s why my solution looks like this in Swift 4 0   extension UIScreen               static var isPhoneX  Bool           let screenSize   UIScreen main bounds size         let width   screenSize width         let height   screenSize height         return min width  height     375  amp  amp  max width  height     812

Yes  it is possible   Download the UIDevice-Hardware extension  or install via CocoaPod  UIDevice-Hardware   and then use   NSString  modelID      UIDevice currentDevice  modelIdentifier   BOOL isIphoneX    modelID isEqualToString   iPhone10 3       modelID isEqualToString   iPhone10 6      Note that this won t work in the Simulator  only on the actual device

With the release of iOS 12  devices like iPhone X may come under this category        extension UIDevice       var isPortrait  Bool           return UIDeviceOrientationIsPortrait orientation           UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait UIApplication shared statusBarOrientation           var isDeviceWith XShape   Bool        if self userInterfaceIdiom     phone            if isPortrait                       switch UIScreen main nativeBounds height                case 2436 2688 1792                  print  iPhone X  Xs  Xr  Xs Max                   return true             default                  print  Any other device                   return false                                 else                       switch UIScreen main nativeBounds width                case 2436 2688 1792                  print  iPhone X  Xs  Xr  Xs Max                   return true             default                  print  Any other device                   return false                                     else               return false

Alternatively  you can check out  DeviceKit  pod  Once installed  all you need to do to check the device is   import DeviceKit let device   Device   if device     iPhoneX        place your code here

Usually  the Programmer needs it for constraining to top or bottom  so these methods can help  static func extraTop   - gt  CGFloat        var top  CGFloat   0      if  available iOS 11 0                if let t   UIApplication shared keyWindow  safeAreaInsets top               top   t                     return top    static func extraBottom   - gt  CGFloat        var bottom  CGFloat   0      if  available iOS 11 0                if let b   UIApplication shared keyWindow  safeAreaInsets bottom               bottom   b                     return bottom     For before iPhone X these methods return  0  For iPhone X  44 and 34 accordingly  Then just add these extras to top or bottom constraints

In Portrait only I use the view s frame s width and height to check  override func viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad           iPhone Xr  -414 x 896        iPhone Xs Max  -414 x 896        iPhone X  Xs  -375 x 812      if view frame width    414  amp  amp  view frame height    896    view frame width    375  amp  amp  view frame height    812             print  quot iPhone X quot         else            print  quot not iPhone X quot             The portrait screen dimensions are listed here  UPDATE This is answer is old and now that there are more X series in the iPhone lineup you would either have to list all of those dimensions inside the the if-else or it would be much easier to just check to see if the device has a notch  I got this answer code from somewhere on SO about 1 5 yrs ago  If I could link to the code I would     1  add an extension to UIDevice with this computed property extension UIDevice            var hasTopNotch  Bool           if  available iOS 11 0  tvOS 11 0                   return UIApplication shared delegate  window   safeAreaInsets top    0  gt  20                   return false              2  to use in any class override func viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad        if UIDevice current hasTopNotch            print  quot X series quot          else            print  quot regular phone quot

All of these answers based on dimensions are susceptible to incorrect behavior on future devices  They ll work today  but what if there s an iPhone next year that s the same size but has the camera  etc  under the glass so there s no  notch   If the only option is to update the app  then it s a poor solution for you and your customers   You can also check the hardware model string like  iPhone10 1   but that s problematic because sometimes Apple releases different model numbers for different carriers around the world   The correct approach is to redesign the top layout  or solve the problems you re having with the custom navigation bar height  that s what I d focus on   But  if you decide not to do either of those things  realize that whatever you re doing is a hack to get this to work today  and you ll need to correct it at some point  perhaps multiple times  to keep the hacks working

Another possibility  which works on iOS 11 and iOS 12 because the iPhone X is the only one with a notch at the top and an inset of 44   That is what I am really detecting here   Objective-C       BOOL iPhoneX   NO      if   available iOS 11 0                UIWindow  mainWindow      UIApplication sharedApplication  delegate  window           if  mainWindow safeAreaInsets top  gt  24 0                iPhoneX   YES                    Swift 4       Has safe area         with notch  44 0 on iPhone X  XS  XS Max  XR          without notch  20 0 on iPhone 8 on iOS 12       static var hasSafeArea  Bool       guard  available iOS 11 0      let topPadding   UIApplication shared keyWindow  safeAreaInsets top  topPadding  gt  24 else           return false           return true     And of course  you might need to check the left and right safe area insets if you are in landscape orientation   Edit    window is the UIWindow of the AppDelegate  where this check is done in application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions   Answer updated for iOS 12 to check if top   24 rather than top   0   Edit  In the simulator you can go to Hardware  Toggle In-call Status Bar   Doing that shows me that the status bar height does not change on iPhone X on iOS 11 or iPhone XS iOS 12 when engaged in a call   All that changes is the time icon  which gets a green background  in both cases   Here s a snap
