DeviceType

iOS Objective-C minimal class files with some methods, which will be helpful to identify what's the type of the device is, the app is running on.

This is a collection of utility methods which let's identify the device hardware and software related properties. To write up this and publish I mainly found inspiration via one of the StackOverflow Q&A, and please consider that there might be similar implementations also.

How to use this utility class?

Find the `DeviceTypes` directory within the project folder, and within that there are the `DeviceTypes(.h/.m)` class files. So drag and drop that directory into your Project in XCode.

Import the class file as follows

// within your implementation file (.m) import it as follows
#import "DeviceTypes.h"

Use it as follows

if ([DeviceTypes isIPhone5SizedDevice]) {
    // Do your required logic relevant to iPhoneSE Size screens or devices (iPhone5, 5S, SE)
} else if ([DeviceTypes isIPhone6SizedDevice]) {
    // Do your required logic relevant to iPhone7 Size screens or devices (iPhone6, 6S, 7)
} else if ([DeviceTypes isIPhone6PlusSizedDevice]) {
    // Do your required logic relevant to iPhone7+ Size screens or devices (iPhone6+, 6S+, 7+)
} else if ([DeviceTypes isIPad]) {
    // Do your required logic relevant to iPads
}

And this utility class also provides the following useful set of methods too.

+ (NSString*)deviceModelName
    Retrieves back the device name or if not the machine name.
+ (NSString *)getDeviceType
    Simply does the same thing which [[UIDevice currentDevice] model] does.
+ (CGFloat)getDeviceWidth
+ (CGFloat)getDeviceHeight

Note:

- If you found anything wrong which I have done or may be a bug please help me to improve this codebase.
- You can always add up your valuable utility methods to this class which is related to device types.
- Don't forget to check out the DeviceType projects "ViewController.h/.m" file simple implementation to get some more ideas.
