Detect current device with UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() in Swift

You should use this GBDeviceInfo framework or ...

Apple defines this:

public enum UIUserInterfaceIdiom : Int {

    case unspecified

    case phone // iPhone and iPod touch style UI

    case pad // iPad style UI

    @available(iOS 9.0, *)
    case tv // Apple TV style UI

    @available(iOS 9.0, *)
    case carPlay // CarPlay style UI
}

so for the strict definition of the device can be used this code

struct ScreenSize
{
    static let SCREEN_WIDTH         = UIScreen.main.bounds.size.width
    static let SCREEN_HEIGHT        = UIScreen.main.bounds.size.height
    static let SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH    = max(ScreenSize.SCREEN_WIDTH, ScreenSize.SCREEN_HEIGHT)
    static let SCREEN_MIN_LENGTH    = min(ScreenSize.SCREEN_WIDTH, ScreenSize.SCREEN_HEIGHT)
}

struct DeviceType
{
    static let IS_IPHONE_4_OR_LESS  = UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .phone && ScreenSize.SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH < 568.0
    static let IS_IPHONE_5          = UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .phone && ScreenSize.SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH == 568.0
    static let IS_IPHONE_6_7          = UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .phone && ScreenSize.SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH == 667.0
    static let IS_IPHONE_6P_7P         = UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .phone && ScreenSize.SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH == 736.0
    static let IS_IPAD              = UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .pad && ScreenSize.SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH == 1024.0
    static let IS_IPAD_PRO          = UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .pad && ScreenSize.SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH == 1366.0
}

how to use

if DeviceType.IS_IPHONE_6P_7P {
    print("IS_IPHONE_6P_7P")
}

to detect iOS version

struct Version{
    static let SYS_VERSION_FLOAT = (UIDevice.current.systemVersion as NSString).floatValue
    static let iOS7 = (Version.SYS_VERSION_FLOAT < 8.0 && Version.SYS_VERSION_FLOAT >= 7.0)
    static let iOS8 = (Version.SYS_VERSION_FLOAT >= 8.0 && Version.SYS_VERSION_FLOAT < 9.0)
    static let iOS9 = (Version.SYS_VERSION_FLOAT >= 9.0 && Version.SYS_VERSION_FLOAT < 10.0)
}

how to use

if Version.iOS8 {
    print("iOS8")
}

if/else case:

 if UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .pad {
     // iPad
 } else {
     // not iPad (iPhone, mac, tv, carPlay, unspecified)
 }

When working with Swift, you can use the enum UIUserInterfaceIdiom, defined as:

enum UIUserInterfaceIdiom : Int {
    case unspecified
    
    case phone // iPhone and iPod touch style UI
    case pad   // iPad style UI (also includes macOS Catalyst)
}

So you can use it as:

UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .pad
UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .phone
UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .unspecified

Or with a Switch statement:

    switch UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom {
    case .phone:
        // It's an iPhone
    case .pad:
        // It's an iPad (or macOS Catalyst)

     @unknown default:
        // Uh, oh! What could it be?
    }

UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() is an Objective-C macro, which is defined as:

#define UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() \ ([[UIDevice currentDevice] respondsToSelector:@selector(userInterfaceIdiom)] ? \ [[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] : \ UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)

Also, note that even when working with Objective-C, the UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() macro is only required when targeting iOS 3.2 and below. When deploying to iOS 3.2 and up, you can use [UIDevice userInterfaceIdiom] directly.
