I am using this function to get the device name

NSString *device=[UIDevice currentDevice].model;

it returns me, for example, "iPhone" .

is there a way to get the device version, for example, "iPhone 4S".

Oh, I linked to the wrong duplicate. – Matthias Bauch Feb 13 '12 at 16:22 — Matthias Bauch, Feb 13 '12 at 16:22

#import <sys/utsname.h>

- (NSString *)deviceModel
{
    struct utsname systemInfo;
    uname(&systemInfo);

    return [NSString stringWithCString:systemInfo.machine encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}

this functon returns me "iPhone 4.1" and not "iPhone 4S" any reason ? – user1051935 Feb 22 '12 at 18:21
iPhone 4.1 = iPhone 4S, iPhone 3.1 = iPhone 4, iPhone 2.1 = iPhone 3GS, iPhone 1.2 = iPhone 3G and iPhone 1.1 = iPhone 1G. – jonathananesand Feb 26 '12 at 08:30

try

[[UIDevice currentDevice] platformString]

That will normally return if it is iPhone 4S...

That's not a part of the standard UIDevice API: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIDevice_Class/Reference/UIDevice.html – yuji Feb 13 '12 at 16:32
