Getting the physical screen size in inches for iPhone
Swift 4 Version for screen
let scale = UIScreen.main.scale
let ppi = scale * ((UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .pad) ? 132 : 163);
let width = UIScreen.main.bounds.size.width * scale
let height = UIScreen.main.bounds.size.height * scale
let horizontal = width / ppi, vertical = height / ppi;
let diagonal = sqrt(pow(horizontal, 2) + pow(vertical, 2))
let screenSize = String(format: "%0.1f", diagonal)
I found a nice GitHub project called 'GBDeviceInfo':
if ([GBDeviceInfo deviceDetails].display == GBDeviceDisplayiPhone35Inch) {
//3.5 inch iphone
}
else if ([GBDeviceInfo deviceDetails].display == GBDeviceDisplayiPhone4Inch) {
//4 inch iphone
}
else if ([GBDeviceInfo deviceDetails].display == GBDeviceDisplayiPad) {
//ipad
}
Here 'tis: GBDeviceInfo
This will find the diagonal screen size of a device:
float scale = [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale];
float ppi = scale * ((UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) ? 132 : 163);
float width = ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width * scale);
float height = ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height * scale);
float horizontal = width / ppi, vertical = height / ppi;
float diagonal = sqrt(pow(horizontal, 2) + pow(vertical, 2));
diagonal
will contain the diagonal size, in inches, of the screen.
