ios how to determine iphone model in swift

OP

This version requires Swift 2.0 If you use an earlier version please use an older version of my answer.

If you are looking for a more elegant solution you can use my µ-framework DeviceKit published on GitHub (also available via CocoaPods).

Here’s the code:

import UIKit

public extension UIDevice {

var modelName: String {
var systemInfo = utsname()
uname(&systemInfo)
let machineMirror = Mirror(reflecting: systemInfo.machine)
let identifier = machineMirror.children.reduce("") { identifier, element in
guard let value = element.value as? Int8 where value != 0 else { return identifier }
return identifier + String(UnicodeScalar(UInt8(value)))
}

switch identifier {
case "iPod5,1": return "iPod Touch 5"
case "iPod7,1": return "iPod Touch 6"
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 "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", "iPad6,7", "iPad6,8":return "iPad Pro"
case "AppleTV5,3": return "Apple TV"
case "i386", "x86_64": return "Simulator"
default: return identifier
}
}

}

You call it like this:

1
let modelName = UIDevice.currentDevice().modelName
