我喜欢埃里卡·萨顿的作品。她包括苹果电视设备和其他你可能想不到的设备。

https://github.com/erica/uidevice-extension/blob/master/UIDevice-Hardware.h

你可以像这样使用UIDevice类:

NSString *deviceType = [UIDevice currentDevice].model;

if([deviceType isEqualToString:@"iPhone"])
    // it's an iPhone

if([UIDevice currentDevice].userInterfaceIdiom==UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
    //Device is ipad 
}else{
    //Device is iphone
}

请随意使用这个类(gist @ github)

代码已删除并重新定位到 https://gist.github.com/1323251

更新(01/14/11)

显然，这段代码现在有点过时了，但它肯定可以使用Brian Robbins提供的这个线程上的代码进行更新，其中包括更新模型的类似代码。谢谢你在这个帖子上的支持。

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

我可以保证，上述建议将适用于iOS 7及以上版本。我相信iOS 6也能运行。但我不确定。
