这是我们的代码，在ios7/ios8上测试通过，适用于iphone4、iphone5、ipad、iphone6、iphone6p，无论在设备上还是模拟器上:

#define IS_IPAD (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
#define IS_IPHONE (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) // iPhone and       iPod touch style UI

#define IS_IPHONE_5_IOS7 (IS_IPHONE && [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 568.0f)
#define IS_IPHONE_6_IOS7 (IS_IPHONE && [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 667.0f)
#define IS_IPHONE_6P_IOS7 (IS_IPHONE && [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 736.0f)
#define IS_IPHONE_4_AND_OLDER_IOS7 (IS_IPHONE && [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height < 568.0f)

#define IS_IPHONE_5_IOS8 (IS_IPHONE && ([[UIScreen mainScreen] nativeBounds].size.height/[[UIScreen mainScreen] nativeScale]) == 568.0f)
#define IS_IPHONE_6_IOS8 (IS_IPHONE && ([[UIScreen mainScreen] nativeBounds].size.height/[[UIScreen mainScreen] nativeScale]) == 667.0f)
#define IS_IPHONE_6P_IOS8 (IS_IPHONE && ([[UIScreen mainScreen] nativeBounds].size.height/[[UIScreen mainScreen] nativeScale]) == 736.0f)
#define IS_IPHONE_4_AND_OLDER_IOS8 (IS_IPHONE && ([[UIScreen mainScreen] nativeBounds].size.height/[[UIScreen mainScreen] nativeScale]) < 568.0f)

#define IS_IPHONE_5 ( ( [ [ UIScreen mainScreen ] respondsToSelector: @selector( nativeBounds ) ] ) ? IS_IPHONE_5_IOS8 : IS_IPHONE_5_IOS7 )
#define IS_IPHONE_6 ( ( [ [ UIScreen mainScreen ] respondsToSelector: @selector( nativeBounds ) ] ) ? IS_IPHONE_6_IOS8 : IS_IPHONE_6_IOS7 )
#define IS_IPHONE_6P ( ( [ [ UIScreen mainScreen ] respondsToSelector: @selector( nativeBounds ) ] ) ? IS_IPHONE_6P_IOS8 : IS_IPHONE_6P_IOS7 )
#define IS_IPHONE_4_AND_OLDER ( ( [ [ UIScreen mainScreen ] respondsToSelector: @selector( nativeBounds ) ] ) ? IS_IPHONE_4_AND_OLDER_IOS8 : IS_IPHONE_4_AND_OLDER_IOS7 )

我用hfossli的答案翻译给了Swift

let IS_IPAD = UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Pad
let IS_IPHONE = UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Phone
let IS_RETINA = UIScreen.mainScreen().scale >= 2.0

let SCREEN_WIDTH = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.width
let SCREEN_HEIGHT = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.height
let SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH = max(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT)
let SCREEN_MIN_LENGTH = min(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT)

let IS_IPHONE_4_OR_LESS = (IS_IPHONE && SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH < 568.0)
let IS_IPHONE_5 = (IS_IPHONE && SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH == 568.0)
let IS_IPHONE_6 = (IS_IPHONE && SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH == 667.0)
let IS_IPHONE_6P = (IS_IPHONE && SCREEN_MAX_LENGTH == 736.0)

在Swift, iOS 8+项目中，我喜欢在UIScreen上做一个扩展，比如:

extension UIScreen {

    var isPhone4: Bool {
        return self.nativeBounds.size.height == 960;
    }

    var isPhone5: Bool {
        return self.nativeBounds.size.height == 1136;
    }

    var isPhone6: Bool {
        return self.nativeBounds.size.height == 1334;
    }

    var isPhone6Plus: Bool {
        return self.nativeBounds.size.height == 2208;
    }

}

(注意:nativeBounds是以像素为单位)。

然后代码会是这样的:

if UIScreen.mainScreen().isPhone4 {
    // do smth on the smallest screen
}

因此，代码清楚地表明这是对主屏幕的检查，而不是对设备模型的检查。

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

     }

+(BOOL)isDeviceiPhone5
{
    BOOL iPhone5 = FALSE;

    CGRect screenBounds = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
    if (screenBounds.size.height == 568)
    {
        // code for 4-inch screen
        iPhone5 = TRUE;
    }
    else
    {
        iPhone5 = FALSE;
        // code for 3.5-inch screen
    }
    return iPhone5;

}

我发现答案并不包括模拟器的特殊情况。

#define IS_WIDESCREEN ( [ [ UIScreen mainScreen ] bounds ].size.height == 568  )
#define IS_IPHONE ([[ [ UIDevice currentDevice ] model ] rangeOfString:@"iPhone"].location != NSNotFound)
#define IS_IPAD ([[ [ UIDevice currentDevice ] model ] rangeOfString:@"iPad"].location != NSNotFound)
#define IS_IPHONE_5 ( IS_IPHONE && IS_WIDESCREEN )
