Is there a way to perform a method on on specific devices?

Question

I am trying to hide a button on certain devices. Is there a 'if' statement i could use or something?

thanks in advance

You want to know specific devices, or you want to categorise them based on some criteria like screen size or iOS version? — saurabh, Mar 23 '15 at 18:17

Not sure if you can detect specific device, but you can always categorise based on sizes using [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height.

You can check for the heights and decide the class of device

if([[UIDevice currentDevice]userInterfaceIdiom]==UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
 {
   if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height > 666.0f) {
      //iphone 6/6+
   }
 else if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 568.0f)
 {
     //iPhone 5/5C/5S
 }
 else
 {
     //iphones of lower height(3GS/4/4S)
 }
}
else
{
    // its an iPad
}

Yes there is. You can get the current device by calling [UIDevice currentDevice].

Here is the class documentation

There are methods for specific iOS versions, models, or you can distinguish between iPad and iPhone. Here is some example code I have in one of my projects.

if ([UIDevice currentDevice].userInterfaceIdiom == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
   //Do stuff for iPad
}
