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;
}
