The faster implementation (if your machine name length is limited) is this, which saves a heap allocation and caches the result.

static NSString *platform;
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
    int key[] = { CTL_HW, HW_MACHINE };

    static size_t const maxSize = 32;
    size_t size = maxSize;
    char machine[maxSize];
    __unused int result = sysctl(key, 2, machine, &size, NULL, 0);
    NSAssert(result == noErr, @"Failed to get platform name. Error: %s", strerror(result));

    platform = @(machine);
});

return platform;
