Possible values for [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemName];
It's the operating system's name as the docs say. iOS was initially called "iPhone OS" (before iPad) but I think they didn't changed the systemName for compatibility reasons.
In the future, they could implement [UIDevice systemName] on (Mac) OS X and on that platform it would probably return Mac OS X or OS X.
The current use for this method is quite limited but you never know what ((partly) compatible) operating systems Apple or someone else may produce in the future...
How to determine the current iPhone/device model?
I made this "pure Swift" extension on UIDevice.
If you are looking for a more elegant solution you can use my µ-framework DeviceKit published on GitHub (also available via CocoaPods, Carthage and Swift Package Manager).
Here's the code:
import UIKit
public extension UIDevice {
static let 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, value != 0 else { return identifier }
return identifier + String(UnicodeScalar(UInt8(value)))
}
func mapToDevice(identifier: String) -> String { // swiftlint:disable:this cyclomatic_complexity
#if os(iOS)
switch identifier {

#endif
}
return mapToDevice(identifier: identifier)
}()
}
You call it like this:
let modelName = UIDevice.modelName
For real devices it returns e.g. "iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (5th generation)", for simulators it returns e.g. "Simulator iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (5th generation)"

How to get device make and model on iOS?
EITHER try this library: http://github.com/erica/uidevice-extension/ (by Erica Sadun). (The library is 7-8 years old, and hence is obsolete)
(Sample Code):
[[UIDevice currentDevice] platformType] // ex: UIDevice4GiPhone
[[UIDevice currentDevice] platformString] // ex: @"iPhone 4G"
OR You can use this method:
You can get the device model number using uname from sys/utsname.h. For example:
Objective-C
#import <sys/utsname.h> // import it in your header or implementation file.
NSString* deviceName()
{
struct utsname systemInfo;
uname(&systemInfo);
return [NSString stringWithCString:systemInfo.machine
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}
Swift 3
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, value != 0 else { return identifier }
return identifier + String(UnicodeScalar(UInt8(value)))
}
return identifier
}
}
print(UIDevice.current.modelName)
The result should be:

Determine device (iPhone, iPod Touch) with iOS
You can use the UIDevice class like this:
NSString *deviceType = [UIDevice currentDevice].model;
if([deviceType isEqualToString:@"iPhone"])
// it's an iPhone
How do I know UIDevice model in MonoTouch?
I took this from a few places and changed it to what I needed, so I can't take full credit for it. It really stinks to have an enum that has to be updated, but oh well.
But this is what I have:

sysctlbyname(HardwareProperty, IntPtr.Zero, pLen, IntPtr.Zero, 0);
var length = Marshal.ReadInt32(pLen);
var pStr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(length);
sysctlbyname(HardwareProperty, pStr, pLen, IntPtr.Zero, 0);
var hardwareStr = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(pStr);
var ret = HardwareVersion.Unknown;

Get the Device model name when running on Simulator?
Actually, iPhone simulator is one kind of model like the real device iPhone 3. You can refer the question here UIDevice currentDevice model possible values
Method [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier] is not allowed any more, I need an alternative
The documentation recommends what to do in this section.
Special Considerations
Do not use the uniqueIdentifier property. To create a unique identifier specific to your app, you can
call the CFUUIDCreate function to create a UUID, and write it to the
defaults database using the NSUserDefaults class.
To make sure that the unique identifier remains after you delete the app you should store it in the keychain rather than NSUserDefaults. Using the keychain you will also be able to share the same unique ID across all of your apps on the same device using keychain access groups. This approach will prevent you from incorrectly tracking users after the device is no longer theirs, and it will be available on any new iDevice they restore from backup.
