How to detect model of iOS in titanium framework

Titanium provides platform-identification properties in the Ti.Platform namespace that you can use for conditional branching within your code.

if used Ti.Platform.model its return model values, but it has some mapping to understand which model exactly.

We can write code to detect model like :

when running on virtual device or simulator in xcode its return like "iPad8,5 (Simulator)" and when actual device it returned "iPad8,5"

if (Ti.Platform.model === "iPad8,5 (Simulator)" ||
Ti.Platform.model === "iPad8,5"){
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}

This property not only related to iOS, its for all type of devices. I have mentioned only iOS specific.

Keep in mind that the value returned by Ti.Platform.model will be a string that represents the device model. You might need to refer to Apple's documentation or other sources to match these model strings with specific iPhone or iPad models.

Additionally, Titanium provides a Ti.Platform.osname property that can be used to check if the device is running on iphone or Android. Combining this with the Ti.Platform.model property allows you to create platform-specific code based on both the operating system and the device model.
