Question

What are the platform strings for the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus?

From the simulators it looks like iPhone 6S is iPhone8,1 and iPhone 6S Plus is iPhone 8,2.

Can anyone with actual hardware confirm? Thanks.

Answer 2

Platform strings for the new iPhone 6s, and 6s Plus:

• iPhone8,1: iPhone 6s
• iPhone8,2: iPhone 6s Plus

Also, here is the snippet with all platform strings since the beginning of time:

// Gets a string with the device model
size_t size;
sysctlbyname("hw.machine", NULL, &size, NULL, 0);
char *machine = malloc(size);
sysctlbyname("hw.machine", machine, &size, NULL, 0);
NSString *platform = [NSString stringWithCString:machine encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
free(machine);
