借用Samrat Mazumdar的回答，这里有一个估算设备屏幕大小的简单方法。它适用于最新的设备，但在未来的设备上可能会失败(正如所有猜测的方法一样)。如果设备正在镜像，它也会混淆(返回设备的屏幕大小，而不是镜像的屏幕大小)

#define SCREEN_SIZE_IPHONE_CLASSIC 3.5
#define SCREEN_SIZE_IPHONE_TALL 4.0
#define SCREEN_SIZE_IPAD_CLASSIC 9.7

+ (CGFloat)screenPhysicalSize
{
    if(UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
    {
        CGSize result = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size;
        if (result.height < 500)
            return SCREEN_SIZE_IPHONE_CLASSIC;  // iPhone 4S / 4th Gen iPod Touch or earlier
        else
            return SCREEN_SIZE_IPHONE_TALL;  // iPhone 5
    }
    else
    {
        return SCREEN_SIZE_IPAD_CLASSIC; // iPad
    }
} 

这是我的cocos2d项目的宏。对于其他应用程序应该是一样的。

#define WIDTH_IPAD 1024
#define WIDTH_IPHONE_5 568
#define WIDTH_IPHONE_4 480
#define HEIGHT_IPAD 768
#define HEIGHT_IPHONE 320

#define IS_IPHONE (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
#define IS_IPAD (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)

//width is height!
#define IS_IPHONE_5 ( [ [ UIScreen mainScreen ] bounds ].size.height == WIDTH_IPHONE_5 )
#define IS_IPHONE_4 ( [ [ UIScreen mainScreen ] bounds ].size.height == WIDTH_IPHONE_4 )

#define cp_ph4(__X__, __Y__) ccp(cx_ph4(__X__), cy_ph4(__Y__))
#define cx_ph4(__X__) (IS_IPAD ? (__X__ * WIDTH_IPAD / WIDTH_IPHONE_4) : (IS_IPHONE_5 ? (__X__ * WIDTH_IPHONE_5 / WIDTH_IPHONE_4) : (__X__)))
#define cy_ph4(__Y__) (IS_IPAD ? (__Y__ * HEIGHT_IPAD / HEIGHT_IPHONE) : (__Y__))

#define cp_pad(__X__, __Y__) ccp(cx_pad(__X__), cy_pad(__Y__))
#define cx_pad(__X__) (IS_IPAD ? (__X__) : (IS_IPHONE_5 ? (__X__ * WIDTH_IPHONE_5 / WIDTH_IPAD) : (__X__ * WIDTH_IPHONE_4 / WIDTH_IPAD)))
#define cy_pad(__Y__) (IS_IPAD ? (__Y__) : (__Y__ * HEIGHT_IPHONE / HEIGHT_IPAD))

CGFloat height = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height;

NSLog(@"screen soze is %f",height);

  if (height>550) {

          // 4" screen-do some thing
     }

  else if (height<500) {

        // 3.5 " screen- do some thing

     }

非常简单的解决方法

if(UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
{
    CGSize result = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size;
    if(result.height == 480)
    {
        // iPhone Classic
    }
    if(result.height == 568)
    {
        // iPhone 5
    }
}

这里是正确的测试设备，不依赖于方向

- (BOOL)isIPhone5
{
    CGSize size = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size;
    if (MIN(size.width,size.height) == 320 && MAX(size.width,size.height == 568)) {
        return YES;
    }
    return NO;
}

通过这种方式，您可以检测设备系列。

    #import <sys/utsname.h>
    NSString* deviceName()
    {
        struct utsname systemInformation;
        uname(&systemInformation);
        NSString *result = [NSString stringWithCString:systemInformation.machine
                                              encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
        return result;
    }

    #define isIPhone5  [deviceName() rangeOfString:@"iPhone5,"].location != NSNotFound
    #define isIPhone5S [deviceName() rangeOfString:@"iPhone6,"].location != NSNotFound
