How to get device make and model on iOS?

28^th August 2022

For anyone not wanting to use Swift’s Mirror, here’s a solution using normal types (with support for simulators too):

#if targetEnvironment(simulator)
@objc public protocol UIDevicePrivate {
    @objc func _deviceInfoForKey(_:String) -> Any?
}
#endif

extension UIDevice {
    var hardwareModel: String {
#if targetEnvironment(simulator)
        let privateSelf = unsafeBitCast(self, to:UIDevicePrivate.self)
        if let model = privateSelf._deviceInfoForKey("HWModelStr") as? String {
            return model + " (Simulator)"
        }
#endif
        var systemInfo = utsname()
        uname(&systemInfo)
        return String(characters: systemInfo.machine)
    }
}

typealias StaticArray256<Element> = (Element, Element, Element,Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element, Element)
