Question

For some reason, I need to know the model version of the device running my app.
I don’t need to know the version of iOS running on the device, but the version of the device, for example : “iPhone 3G”, “iPhone 4S”, “iPad 2”, …

It doesn’t seem that the UIDevice class gives this info :
Identifying the Device and Operating System
name property
systemName property
systemVersion property
model property
localizedModel property
userInterfaceIdiom property
uniqueIdentifier property Deprecated in iOS 5.0

Did I miss anything ?

Thanks

Check out UIDevice-Extension:

Add functionality to UIDevice to distinguish between platforms like iPod touch 1G and 2G and iPhone

with the UIDevice-Hardware.h Class its possible to get the:

- (NSString *) platform;
- (NSString *) hwmodel;
- (NSUInteger) platformType;
- (NSString *) platformString;
