Asked 20/9, 2012 at 2:38 Answered 3/10, 2017 at 5:6

For example, is it "iPhone5,1" or "iPhone5,2" for iPhone 5?　And what's the difference？

If anyone has the iPhone 5, please help by running the following code and showing your result. Thank you.

I have recorded user log since Sept. 12, and it seems that iPhone5,2 is more popular than iPhone5,1. – Scavenger 20/9, 2012 at 5:11

For iPhone 5S & 5C platform string, see this post #18854744 – Swanherd 20/9, 2013 at 16:37

for iphone 6 and iphone 6 plus code is: iPhone7,2 and iPhone7,1 – Connally 19/9, 2014 at 6:54

The identifiers of the latest models are:

iPhone 5: iPhone5,1 and iPhone5,2

iPhone 5C: iPhone5,3 and iPhone5,4

iPhone 5S: iPhone6,1 and iPhone6,2

iPhone 6: iPhone7,2

iPhone 6 Plus: iPhone7,1

iPhone 6S: iPhone8,1

iPhone 6S Plus: iPhone8,2

iPhone SE: iPhone8,4

iPhone 7: iPhone9,1 and iPhone9,3

iPhone 8: iPhone10,1 and iPhone10,4

iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone10,2 and iPhone10,5

iPhone X: iPhone10,3 and iPhone10,6

EDIT: I also made an updated version of the popular iOS Support Matrix including all models up to iPhone X.

Link-only answers should always provide the critical information in the answer in case the link goes dead. – Thrush 23/11, 2015 at 14:55

Fair enough. I've added the identifiers to the answer. – Modality 23/11, 2015 at 20:11

Is there a source for this on github or similar so I can suck this in and not have to find and update every time a release happens? – Illyrian 11/12, 2013 at 17:12

Asis? Do you mean Asia? – Bootie 22/3, 2014 at 1:43

Note the harmless repeated iPad3.6. I do this with static NSDictionary* deviceNames; static dispatch_once_t onceToken; dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{ deviceNames = @{ @"i386" : @"iPhone Simulator", @"x86_64" : @"iPhone Simulator", ... and NSString* readableName = (NSString*)deviceNames[machineName]; – Misery 24/4, 2014 at 16:29

for iphone 6 and iphone 6 plus code is: iPhone7,2 and iPhone7,1 – Connally 19/9, 2014 at 6:53

Are you sure that this is what the code reflect? In previous models for example iPhone 5 the 6,1 & 6,2 where the iPhone 5 but with GSM and GSM+CDMA. – Hundredfold 23/9, 2014 at 11:28

Yup, "iPhone5,1" is the GSM iPhone 5, "iPhone5,2" is the CDMA iPhone 5, "iPhone5,3" is the GSM iPhone 5C, "iPhone5,4" is the CDMA iPhone 5C, "iPhone6,1" is the GSM iPhone 5S, and "iPhone6,2" is the CDMA iPhone 5S. Does that answer your question?

Fighterbomber answered 23/9, 2013 at 18:11 Comment(0)

The Verizon iPhone 5 returns "iPhone5,2". The GSM phone returns "iPhone5,1".

Astigmia answered 21/9, 2012 at 17:43 Comment(0)

It looks like either iPhone5,1 or iPhone5,2 depending on the model of iPhone 5.

From @marcoarment, who is a well known iOS Developer:

iPhone5,1: model A1428, AT&T/Canada

iPhone5,2: model A1429, all others

A1429 may have two modes, but I don’t see any iPhone5,3 records.

I created a library for detecting the device at runtime.

It's called SDVersion.

Thought some may found it useful.
