I'm working on a program that needs to be able to detect whether or not camera hardware is present in the iPad. I assumed that the easiest way to do this was to determine what generation the device was, but if there is a simpler way to detect the hardware that works too. The iPads that this application is being designed for will likely be recently purchased and running on a standard updated version of iOS.

I'm not really looking for what device it is as they will all be iPads of some sort. I'm really just interested in what generation of iPad it is. – Logan S. Aug 01 '12 at 16:50

Thats exactly the same answer as the question I did post. – netdigger Aug 01 '12 at 17:42

Nope You can simply check what device is being used!
For checking all iOS devices:
NSString *deviceType = [UIDevice currentDevice].model;
NSLog(deviceType);
In order to check for a camera
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera])
//there is a camera

Will the first choice tell me what generation the device is in addition to which device (ipod, iphone, ipad) the app is running on? – Logan S. Aug 01 '12 at 16:53
