I'm trying to figure out how an app knows which version of an Idevice it is on?

If you care about screen scale you can check if [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale] > 1.

You can work this out from the resolution on the device, Retina devices have a resolution twice the size of none Retina devices :)

This is true for now but may not always be true, you should use the method mentioned by @kevboh to determine this. – Chris Wagner May 11 '12 at 16:39
