DeviceKit is a Swift library providing a value-type replacement for Apple's UIDevice class. It offers device identification, family detection, simulator detection, battery metrics, and various hardware capabilities for iOS, tvOS, and watchOS apps.
Use cases
- detect which iPhone or iPad model the app is running on
- check battery level and battery state in an iOS app
- determine if code is running on a simulator
- detect available biometric sensors like Touch ID or Face ID
- get screen size, PPI, and display metrics
- check available disk space at runtime
- detect Low Power Mode or Guided Access sessions
- identify Apple Pencil support
When to choose
- you need device model identification beyond what UIDevice exposes
- you want a Swifty, value-type API instead of UIDevice's singleton
- you need simulator detection for testing or analytics
- you support iOS, tvOS, or watchOS and need unified device info
When to avoid
- you only need basic UIDevice information and don't mind the class-based API
- you target platforms outside Apple's ecosystem
- you need runtime hardware queries not covered by DeviceKit's feature list
