An Objective-C category extending UIDevice to identify the specific iOS hardware platform, distinguishing between devices like iPod touch 1G/2G and iPhone models. The README now directs users to the Cookbook versions instead, indicating the repository is deprecated.
Use cases
- detect which iphone model my app is running on
- distinguish ipod touch 1g from 2g in ios app
- get device platform identifier in objective-c
- extend uidevice with hardware model info
- check device generation at runtime on ios
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Objective-C iOS app that already uses this category
- you need simple device model detection on very old iOS versions
When to avoid
- starting a new iOS project - use modern APIs like uname/sysctl or the Cookbook instead
- you need maintained, supported device detection code
- your project requires a permissive license - this repo has none
