We will explore our ways to identify device of user whether it is iPad or iPhone, We will do all this in Swift Programming Language with latest Xcode build.

 
There four ways that iOS device will get identified .phone, .pad, .tv & .unspecified.

 
So code will look like this in swift

 

if (UIScreen.main.traitCollection.userInterfaceIdiom == UIUserInterfaceIdiom.pad) {
    print("It's iPad")
    // Your code here
    
} else if (UIScreen.main.traitCollection.userInterfaceIdiom == UIUserInterfaceIdiom.phone) {
    print("It's iPhone")
    // Your code here
    
} else if (UIScreen.main.traitCollection.userInterfaceIdiom == UIUserInterfaceIdiom.tv) {
    print("It's Apple TV")
    // Your code here
    
} else if (UIScreen.main.traitCollection.userInterfaceIdiom == UIUserInterfaceIdiom.unspecified) {
    print("It's Unknown Device")
    // Your code here
    
}
