you can easily detect iphone 3gs-4s, iphone5 and iPad with below condition:-

 if([[UIDevice currentDevice]userInterfaceIdiom]==UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
 {
     if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 568)
     {

          //iphone 5
     }
     else
     {
         //iphone 3.5 inch screen iphone 3g,4s 
     }
 }
 else
 {
        //[ipad]
 }

I think that this answer should be updated since we have iPhone 6 and 6+. – Miknash Jan 21 '15 at 12:00

Please use the following code

#import <sys/utsname.h>

NSString* machineName()
{
    struct utsname systemInfo;
    uname(&systemInfo);

    return [NSString stringWithCString:systemInfo.machine encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}

Identify your device type using following code

if([machineName() isEqualToString:@"iPhone1,2"])
{
    deviceType = @"iPhone 3G";
}
else if([machineName() isEqualToString:@"iPhone2,1"])
{
    deviceType = @"iPhone 3GS";
}
else if([machineName() isEqualToString:@"iPhone3,1"] || [machineName() isEqualToString:@"iPhone3,2"] || [machineName() isEqualToString:@"iPhone3,3"])
{
    deviceType = @"iPhone 4";
}
else if([machineName() isEqualToString:@"iPhone4,1"])
{
    deviceType = @"iPhone 4S";
}
else if([machineName() isEqualToString:@"iPhone5,1"])
{
    deviceType = @"iPhone 5";
}
else if([machineName() isEqualToString:@"iPod1,1"])
{
    deviceType = @"iPod Touch 1G";
}
else if([machineName() isEqualToString:@"iPod2,1"] || [machineName() isEqualToString:@"iPod2,2"])
{
    deviceType = @"iPod Touch 2G";
}
else if([machineName() isEqualToString:@"iPod3,1"])
{
    deviceType = @"iPod Touch 3G";
}
else if([machineName() isEqualToString:@"iPod4,1"])
{
    deviceType = @"iPod Touch 4G";
}
else if([machineName() isEqualToString:@"iPod5,1"])
{
    deviceType = @"iPod Touch 5G";
}

You can use the UIDevice (Hardware) category by Erica Sadun

It can be used as:

[[UIDevice currentDevice] platformType]   // ex: UIDevice4GiPhone

[[UIDevice currentDevice] platformString] // ex: @"iPhone 4G"

You can use the following code for this:

NSString *device()
{
    struct utsname devInfo;
    uname(&devInfo);

    return [NSString stringWithCString:devInfo.machine encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}

Make sure that you import #import <sys/utsname.h>

HI please use below code

[UIDevice currentDevice] platformType]   // returns UIDevice4GiPhone
[[UIDevice currentDevice] platformString] // returns @"iPhone 4G"

or please check ratina

+ (BOOL) isRetina
{
    if([[UIScreen mainScreen] respondsToSelector:@selector(scale)])
        return [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale] == 2.0 ? YES : NO;

    return NO;
}

or check ios version

   + (BOOL) isIOS5
    {
        NSString *os5 = @"5.0";
        NSString *currSysVer = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];

        //    currSysVer = @"5.0.1";
        if ([currSysVer compare:os5 options:NSNumericSearch] == NSOrderedAscending) //lower than 4
        {
            return NO;
        }
        else if ([currSysVer compare:os5 options:NSNumericSearch] == NSOrderedDescending) //5.0.1 and above
        {        
            return YES;
        }
        else // IOS 5
        {
            return YES;
        }

        return NO;
    }

there is no `platformString` or `platformType` method for `UIDevice `class. — Midhun MP, Dec 26 '12 at 09:30

You can get these using uidevice-extension What you need are the following funcitons:

- (NSString *) platform;
- (NSString *) hwmodel;
- (NSUInteger) platformType;
- (NSString *) platformString;

from UIDevice-Hardware.h
