iOS中如何实现检测苹果设备的类型

苹果的每个产品都有几个类型，从iphone到ipod、ipad，而每个产品又有几个类型，从iphone2G到iphone5，从iPod touch1到iPod touch5，从ipad1到ipad4，只有你想不到的，没有人家做不到的。

但是在做ios开发中如何检测这些类型呢？下边的方法就是CSDN问答中给出的方法，原问题见：http://ask.csdn.net/questions/997

- (NSString *) platformString{
    // Gets a string with the device model
    size_t size;  
    sysctlbyname("hw.machine", NULL, &size, NULL, 0);  
    char *machine = malloc(size);  
    sysctlbyname("hw.machine", machine, &size, NULL, 0);  
    NSString *platform = [NSString stringWithCString:machine encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];  
    free(machine);

    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"i386"])         return @"Simulator";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"x86_64"])       return @"Simulator";
    return platform;
