Question

I know the platform strings for the new iPhone 6s & 6s Plus:

• iPhone8,1: iPhone 6s Plus
• iPhone8,2: iPhone 6s

But what is the platform string for the new iPad Pro?

Answer 1

The platform string for iPad Pro is: iPad6,8

Also, here is the snippet with all platform strings since the beginning of time:

// Gets a string with the device model
size_t size;
sysctlbyname("hw.machine", NULL, &size, NULL, 0);
char *machine = malloc(size);
sysctlbyname("hw.machine", machine, &size, NULL, 0);
NSString *platform = [NSString stringWithCString:machine encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
free(machine);
