iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X device code

Question

I'm using the below code to get the device name

NSString* code = [NSString stringWithCString:systemInfo.machine encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

Which gives the result as follows and mapped to devices

@"iPhone9,1" :@"iPhone 7",
@"iPhone9,3" :@"iPhone 7",
@"iPhone9,2" :@"iPhone 7 Plus",
@"iPhone9,4" :@"iPhone 7 Plus",

Do we have the new device code for the new devices that are released (iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X)

Answer 1

Edit: This has been corrected. The iPhone X is NOT iPhone10,5 and iPhone10,6.

• iPhone 8: iPhone10,1 & iPhone10,4
• iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone10,2 & iPhone10,5
• iPhone X: iPhone10,3 & iPhone10,6

Answer 2

Note: Update for 2020 iPhone Models in Obj-C code

Swift 4.1+

NOTE: See Obj-C code for the newest device additions.

import Foundation
import SystemConfiguration

class DeviceInfo {
    static func platform() -> String? {
        var systemInfo = utsname()
        uname(&systemInfo)
        let modelCode = withUnsafePointer(to: &systemInfo.machine) {
            $0.withMemoryRebound(to: CChar.self, capacity: 1) {
                ptr in String.init(validatingUTF8: ptr)
            }
        }
        return modelCode
    }

    static func deviceType() -> String {
        if let platform = platform(), let device = deviceDict[platform] {
            return device
        }
        return "unknown"

I will update the answer when I have the new watches platform strings.

This is the actual code to get the devices platform.

Note the class methods and the code is inside an NSObject Class called Settings .

You may easily change it to an instance method with the first line - (NSString *)platform { and - (NSString *)platformString { , also call the platform: NSString *platform = [self platform]; at the top of the platformString code.

+ (NSString *) platform{
    int mib[2];
    size_t len;
    char *machine;

    mib[0] = CTL_HW;
    mib[1] = HW_MACHINE;

    sysctl(mib, 2u, NULL, &len, NULL, 0);
    machine = malloc(len);
    sysctl(mib, 2u, machine, &len, NULL, 0);

    NSString *platform = @(machine);
    free(machine);
    return platform;
}
