Would it be possible to add a license (e.g. MIT or MIT-0) to the top of the gist? I'm asking because I would love to use it in a client project, without licensing information this is not possible.

Can anyone explain what these deviceIDs are used for? If I was to look at my Apple device, I do not see these device type IDs. For example, my iPhone 14 Pro does not show 15,3 anywhere. Rather it shows MPXV3ZD/A as the Model Number. So where is 15,3 shown and what is this used for?

@GregOriol

@Waynus71 It's a technical information, mostly for developers: you can access it through code (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33493800/how-to-get-the-iphone-type-from-simulator-ios) but it's not visible to users

These deviceIDs are useful for devs, if we need to develop apps and try to identify apple devices, these device id is of vital importance for us.

DeviceID is also usefull for desktop software that communicates with iphone, it's one of values you get when you request device information from device (either in dfu, restore, or normal mode), and it's much easier to maintain, that list of model numbers that are user visible (like MM9L3FD/A - which is one of ipad air 5 models). but yeah, generally it matters mainly for developers, users don't need to care about it, although on Mac (either macbook or desktop), you can get MacXX,X,iMacXX,X and so on in system info app. which mas similar purpose

What about creating a json format from this file?

What about creating a json format from this file?

Liking this idea!
Also because it would allow it to expand to just more than the model name, for example it would be nice to have already with it how much System Memory each phone has and maybe around what percentage of that it gets a "Low Memory Warning"
(that info can be added overtime to the .json file)

GregOriol commented Aug 21, 2023

@arturCwiklinsky Some libraries, not json, exit already: https://github.com/andrealufino/Deviice There is maybe a path to put some of the data in common?

@amartinez1660 The low memory warning is not documented by Apple in a way that can be "saved" into a database: they don't provide information on when it is sent, nor does it seem to be a hard value; from some experience, it depends on the amount of memory your app uses, but also on other apps that are running in the background (music, waze, ...), and it may also be sent by the system when you allocate a lot of memory in a very small timeframe (like loading large 3D objects, ...)...

traits databases are inside xcode package, on mac open xcode.app folder (or rightclick xcode and "package content", and under platforms you will find emulator images and also traits db, i only check for tvos, ios (which contains ipads and iphones) and watchos, there might be others.

Don't know if anyone mentioned it already, you may be able to find it looking through the earlier comments of this gist thread. Frankly it would be a whole lot easier to browse if this was a github repo instead with issues/PRs/wiki. But anyways here's some additional info on traits DB, you can find them browsing these paths on the terminal. As far as I'm aware, there don't seem to be traits for the laptop/desktop Mac hardware:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/usr/standalone/device_traits.db
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/WatchOS.platform/usr/standalone/device_traits.db
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/TvOS.platform/usr/standalone/device_traits.db

you may need to use SQLite to view the traits databases

yes, it was mentioned multiple times already, that you can pull identifiers from xcode, sometimes there are even identifiers for soon to be released devices in beta xcode versions.

These should be the 3rd generation iPads, right?

i explained this before, it depends, how you count generation.
it's 5th gen of ipad pro, it has same cpu as ipad pro 12.9 5th gen
it's 3rd gen of ipad pro 11"

1st gen ipad pro was 9.7" and 12.9"
2nd gen ipad pro was 10.5" and 12.9"
3rd gen ipad pro was 11" and 12.9"
all following generations of ipad pro are 11" and 12.9"
so it really depends if you count gen for model series (ipad/ipad pro/ipad air), or specific model (eg. including size)

also apple didn't help with naming, when they introduced it, they named it one way, then later changed it, and in developer tools it was different way from start

if you look at current state, apple really name it ipad pro 11" 3rd gen (for model that is here marked 5th gen), but when 2nd gen of 11" came out, it was named as ipad pro 4th gen 11" (and 12.9" respectively), then they renamed it to 11" 2nd gen, when 3rd gen came out ... so there is really no best way, that will suite everyone.

there is another example, when 4th gen ipad came out, apple promoted is as New iPad, and was selling it as iPad, although previous one was sold as iPad 3 (and the one before was actual iPad 2 ... no gen in name)

I know about that but It's not easy to deserialize this json to list of POJOs in some languages. This is one is perfectly suited for python Dictionary.

I wrote a little script to read the device mapping table from /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/usr/standalone/device_traits.db and convert it to a plist file, which can then be added to your project

DEVICE_TRAITS_DATABASE=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/usr/standalone/device_traits.db
SQL_QUERY="SELECT DISTINCT CASE WHEN INSTR(ProductType, '-') > 0 THEN SUBSTR(ProductType, 1, INSTR(ProductType, '-') - 1) ELSE ProductType END, ProductDescription from DEVICES;"

sqlite3 -readonly -separator $'\t' $DEVICE_TRAITS_DATABASE "$SQL_QUERY" > devices.tsv

awk -F '\t' 'NR>0 { print "Add \":"$1"\" string \""$2"\"" }' devices.tsv > commands.txt

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Clear' DeviceModels.plist
while IFS= read -r command; do
    /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "$command" DeviceModels.plist
done < commands.txt

Edit: Some iPad models have an additional "-A" or "-B" suffix. I adjusted the SQLite query to drop that suffix
