依赖规模在很多层面上都是错误的。如果我们问系统呢?

- (NSString *) getDeviceModel
{
    struct utsname systemInfo;
    uname(&systemInfo);
    return [NSString stringWithCString:systemInfo.machine encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}

摘自《检测硬件类型的最佳方法，iPhone4还是iPhone5?》edzio27回答。

通过这种方式，您可以检测设备系列。

    #import <sys/utsname.h>
    NSString* deviceName()
    {
        struct utsname systemInformation;
        uname(&systemInformation);
        NSString *result = [NSString stringWithCString:systemInformation.machine
                                              encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
        return result;
    }

    #define isIPhone5  [deviceName() rangeOfString:@"iPhone5,"].location != NSNotFound
    #define isIPhone5S [deviceName() rangeOfString:@"iPhone6,"].location != NSNotFound

在Swift, iOS 8+项目中，我喜欢在UIScreen上做一个扩展，比如:

extension UIScreen {

    var isPhone4: Bool {
        return self.nativeBounds.size.height == 960;
    }

    var isPhone5: Bool {
        return self.nativeBounds.size.height == 1136;
    }

    var isPhone6: Bool {
        return self.nativeBounds.size.height == 1334;
    }

    var isPhone6Plus: Bool {
        return self.nativeBounds.size.height == 2208;
    }

}

(注意:nativeBounds是以像素为单位)。

然后代码会是这样的:

if UIScreen.mainScreen().isPhone4 {
    // do smth on the smallest screen
}

因此，代码清楚地表明这是对主屏幕的检查，而不是对设备模型的检查。

借用Samrat Mazumdar的回答，这里有一个估算设备屏幕大小的简单方法。它适用于最新的设备，但在未来的设备上可能会失败(正如所有猜测的方法一样)。如果设备正在镜像，它也会混淆(返回设备的屏幕大小，而不是镜像的屏幕大小)

#define SCREEN_SIZE_IPHONE_CLASSIC 3.5
#define SCREEN_SIZE_IPHONE_TALL 4.0
#define SCREEN_SIZE_IPAD_CLASSIC 9.7

+ (CGFloat)screenPhysicalSize
{
    if(UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
    {
        CGSize result = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size;
        if (result.height < 500)
            return SCREEN_SIZE_IPHONE_CLASSIC;  // iPhone 4S / 4th Gen iPod Touch or earlier
        else
            return SCREEN_SIZE_IPHONE_TALL;  // iPhone 5
    }
    else
    {
        return SCREEN_SIZE_IPAD_CLASSIC; // iPad
    }
} 

我用hfossli的答案翻译给了Swift

let IS_IPAD = UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Pad
let IS_IPHONE = UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Phone
let IS_RETINA = UIScreen.mainScreen().scale >= 2.0

let SCREEN_WIDTH = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.width
let SCREEN_HEIGHT = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.height
let SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH = max(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT)
let SCREEN_MIN_LENGTH = min(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT)

let IS_IPHONE_4_OR_LESS = (IS_IPHONE && SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH < 568.0)
let IS_IPHONE_5 = (IS_IPHONE && SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH == 568.0)
let IS_IPHONE_6 = (IS_IPHONE && SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH == 667.0)
let IS_IPHONE_6P = (IS_IPHONE && SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH == 736.0)

if ((int)[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 568)
{
    // This is iPhone 5 screen
} else {
    // This is iPhone 4 screen
}
