How can I check if an application running on iPhone 5 or not and then do something?

    Are you really checking for an iPhone 5 or do you need to check for the 4" screen currently used by both the iPhone 5 and 5th gen iPod touch? And what do you plan to do with this knowledge? The answers will help guide the best solution. – rmaddy Nov 05 '12 at 22:09

    @CroiOS why is it not a duplicate? – hfossli Apr 19 '13 at 14:03

#define IS_IPHONE_5 ( fabs( ( double )[ [ UIScreen mainScreen ] bounds ].size.height - ( double )568 ) < DBL_EPSILON )

then in the code:

if (IS_IPHONE_5) { 
   //is iphone 5
}

You're likely concerned with the window size, not the make/model, this will do:

CGRect screenRect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];
if (screenRect.size.height == 568)
{
 // this is an iPhone 5+
}

  • missing info here. @property(nonatomic,readonly) CGRect bounds; // Bounds of entire screen in points @property(nonatomic,readonly) CGRect applicationFrame; // Frame of application screen area in points (i.e. entire screen minus status bar if visible) – Underdog Feb 06 '13 at 09:59

    This is not always true, if in your application status bar is visible its height is 548. To have this always equal to 568 use [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]; instead. – Underdog Feb 07 '13 at 06:03

You can do it with checking screen resolution or you can do it with using:

#import "sys/utsname.h"

which give you identifier for each device. Just see my answer here: recognize device

Using screen is fine.

#define IS_IPAD (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
#define IS_IPHONE (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
#define IS_IPHONE_5 (IS_IPHONE && [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 568.0f)

No epsilon check is required

We can directly put this method in constant file and can use any where using define

#define ISIPHONE5 ( fabs( ( double )[ [ UIScreen mainScreen ] bounds ].size.height - ( double )568 ) < DBL_EPSILON )
#define HEIGHT (ISIPHONE5 ? 60:145)

Or can use 

 #define IS_IPHONE5 (([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height-568)?NO:YES)

We can also check IOS via below

#define IOS_OLDER_THAN_6 ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] < 6.0 )
#define IOS_NEWER_OR_EQUAL_TO_6 ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 6.0 )

You can check your device's iOS version if is 6.0 then its a iPhone 5.....

Here's the code..

double osVersion = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] doubleValue];
NSLog(@"OSVersion: %f", osVersion);
if (osVersion == 6.0) 
{
  //Paste your code here.....
