Get the specific model number of the iOS device

Objective C Dec 30, 2023 Viewed 15 Comments 0

Use the following methods in Objective C:

NSString *deviceType = [[UIDevice currentDevice] model];

It only gets "iPhone" or "iPod", etc., but doesn't return specifics to which model.

Get the specific model number of the iOS device

Refer to the getModel method of react-native-device-info

}

Usage:

NSString* model = [self getModel];
NSLog(@"model: %@", model);    // model: iPhone 7

Using this method, you need to update the information about the correspondence between the device ID and the model number in a timely manner, or you can use the getDeviceId method, which is more reliable and always keeps in sync with new iOS devices.

NSString* deviceId = [self getDeviceId];
NSLog(@"deviceId: %@", deviceId);    // deviceId: iPhone9,1
