How to get iOS device model number (eg. A1530)?

Question

I'm wondering is that possible to get the iOS device model number programmatically. I mean the device model on the back of iPhone. It's always in this format "AXXXX".

With a little use of private API it is possible

let device = UIDevice.current
var selector = NSSelectorFromString("deviceInfoForKey:")
if !device.responds(to: selector) {
    selector = NSSelectorFromString("_deviceInfoForKey:")
}
if device.responds(to: selector) {
    if let unmanagedModel = device.perform(selector, with:"ModelNumber") {
        let model = unmanagedModel.takeRetainedValue() as! String
        print("Device hardware model: \(model)")
    }
}

This is not what I expect. It only can return iPhone or iPad. – RayChen Sep 26 '16 at 10:20
