If you open Settings -> General -> About, it'll say Bob's iPhone at the top of the screen. How do you programmatically grab that name?

From the UIDevice class:

Swift version:

UIDevice.current.name

Objective-C version:

[[UIDevice currentDevice] name];

The UIDevice is a class that provides information about the iPhone or iPod Touch device.

Some of the information provided by UIDevice is static, such as device name or system version.

    Be careful: the tutorial at that link, while quite useful, is aimed at OS 2.2, and uses some methods that are deprecated in 3.0. – Tim Jul 08 '09 at 19:49
  • @Tim: You are absolutely right. I didn't think of that. Though, I wasn't suggesting the tutorial; I was simply providing my source of information plus a source for more information. – Frank V Jul 08 '09 at 19:58
  • @FrankV What permissions should I request from the user in order to get myMusicAppName to change his Iphone name? How do I do that in Swift? Thank you – bibscy Jul 10 '19 at 10:01

In addition to the above answer, this is the actual code:

[[UIDevice currentDevice] name];

Here is class structure of UIDevice 

+ (UIDevice *)currentDevice;

@property(nonatomic,readonly,strong) NSString    *name;              // e.g. "My iPhone"
@property(nonatomic,readonly,strong) NSString    *model;             // e.g. @"iPhone", @"iPod touch"
@property(nonatomic,readonly,strong) NSString    *localizedModel;    // localized version of model
@property(nonatomic,readonly,strong) NSString    *systemName;        // e.g. @"iOS"
@property(nonatomic,readonly,strong) NSString    *systemVersion;

    let name = UIDevice.current.name
    let version = UIDevice.current.systemVersion
    let modelName = UIDevice.current.model
    let osName = UIDevice.current.systemName
    let localized = UIDevice.current.localizedModel
    
    print(udid ?? "") // ABCDEF01-0123-ABCD-0123-ABCDEF012345
    print(name)       // Name's iPhone
    print(version)    // 14.5
    print(modelName)  // iPhone
    print(osName)     // iOS
    print(localized)  // iPhone

To get an iPhone's device name programmatically

 UIDevice *deviceInfo = [UIDevice currentDevice];

 NSLog(@"Device name:  %@", deviceInfo.name);

// Device name: my iPod
